Privacy Policy
Last updated: July 8, 2026
Overview
This Privacy Policy explains how VeriFOIA ("we", "us") collects, uses, and protects information when you visit this website. We aim to collect as little personal data as possible. By using the site, you agree to this policy.
Information we collect
- Log data. Like most websites, our host records standard server logs (IP address, browser type, pages visited, timestamp) for security and diagnostics.
- Analytics. If enabled, we use Google Analytics to understand aggregate, anonymous usage. It may set cookies.
- File verification. Our verification tool computes a file's SHA-256 hash in your browser. The file's contents are never uploaded — only the resulting hash may be sent to check for a match.
- We do not require accounts, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from the public areas of the site.
Cookies & advertising
This site may display third-party advertising. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites.
- Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.
- You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
- You can opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalized advertising at aboutads.info/choices.
- Most browsers let you refuse or delete cookies via their settings.
For more information on how Google uses data when you use our partners' sites or apps, see Google's policy.
Data sharing & your rights
We do not sell your personal information. Aggregate, non-identifying data may be processed by the analytics and advertising vendors described above. Depending on your location (e.g. under GDPR or CCPA), you may have rights to access or request deletion of personal data; contact us to exercise them.
Children's privacy
This site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their data.
