Privacy Policy
Last updated 16 October 2026
Verity is a dating app where every member is verified. This policy explains what we collect, why, who can see it and the choices you have. “We” means Serkan Hekimoğlu, the individual who runs Verity. Questions: support@verityapp.net.
What we collect
- Account: email address, first name, date of birth, gender, the gender you’re looking for, country.
- Profile: what you choose to add, such as your city, languages, appearance, lifestyle, family plans and the texts about you.
- Photos: the face photos you upload.
- Verification: a live selfie and the face data from the live check, used only to confirm you’re a real person and the one in your photos. We ask for your explicit consent before the check.
- Activity: letters you send and receive, interests, favorites, profile views, blocks and reports.
- Purchases: which membership or pass you have and when it renews or ends. Payments are handled by the App Store; we never see your card details.
- App usage and crashes: which screens and features are used and crash reports, linked to your account ID. We don’t use this for advertising and we don’t track you across other apps or websites.
- Contact details you choose to add (for example a phone number). These are never shown to other members.
Why we use it
- To run your account and the app: profiles, search, letters, memberships (our contract with you).
- To verify every member and keep Verity safe: the selfie check, photo review, reports and moderation (your consent for face data; our legitimate interest in a safe service).
- To send account emails: sign-in codes, review results, new letters and other messages you can turn off in Settings.
- To understand and fix the app: usage statistics and crash reports (our legitimate interest).
- To meet legal obligations, such as tax records for purchases.
Who can see what
- Other members see your profile: first name, age, city, country, photos you’ve had approved and the profile details you add. They never see your selfie, email, date of birth or contact details.
- Our team sees what’s needed to review members, photos, reports and help desk letters. Access is limited and logged.
- Service providers that work for us under contract: cloud hosting and email delivery (in the EU), the live selfie check, app analytics and crash reporting, purchase management and letter translation. They may only use your data to provide their service to us.
We don’t sell your data and we don’t share it for advertising.
Your selfie
Your selfie is encrypted in transit and in storage, is never shown to other members, and is seen only by our verification team. It’s kept while your account exists so we can check new photos against it, and it’s deleted when you delete your account.
Where your data is stored
Verity’s servers and files are in the European Union. Some providers may process data outside the EU; when they do, they’re bound by safeguards such as the EU Standard Contractual Clauses.
How long we keep it
We keep your data while your account exists. When you delete your account, we remove your profile, photos, selfie, letters and contact details. We keep only what we must: records of reports and moderation decisions (to keep banned accounts out), purchase records (for tax law) and our security log.
Security
Data is encrypted in transit and at rest, staff access is limited to what each role needs and is logged, and sign-in uses one-time email codes, so there’s no password to steal.
Your rights
You can see, correct and download your data, object to some uses, withdraw consent and delete your account at any time (Settings → Delete account). Write to support@verityapp.net for anything you can’t do in the app. You can also complain to your data protection authority.
Age
Verity is only for people aged 18 and over. We remove accounts of anyone younger.
Changes
If we change this policy in a way that matters, we’ll tell you in the app or by email before it takes effect.
