Privacy Policy

Verilumia is built privacy-first. We do not track users in any way. We believe privacy is a fundamental right, especially when accessing information that helps you make informed decisions.

Last updated: December 2024 Effective: Immediately

Overview

Our commitment: Zero tracking, zero behavioral monitoring, zero unnecessary data collection.

This policy explains our minimal data practices and your complete control over your information.

Data Collection

Information You Provide (Optional)

  • News Preferences: Categories and topics you choose to follow (stored locally on your device only).
  • Support Messages: Only when you contact us directly for help.

Subscriptions

No Verilumia Accounts: We do not offer account creation.

Store-Managed Payments: Subscriptions are handled entirely through the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. We never receive your email, password, or any personal information from Apple or Google.

Information We Do NOT Collect

We do not collect any automatic data, tracking data, or behavioral data. Specifically:

  • No account data (emails, passwords, usernames, personal profiles).
  • No subscription details (all handled independently by Apple/Google).
  • No usage analytics (we don't track what you read, when you read it, or how long you spend reading).
  • No device tracking (no device IDs, fingerprinting, or unique identifiers).
  • No location data.
  • No behavioral data (no click tracking, scroll tracking, or interaction monitoring).
  • No third-party trackers (no analytics services, advertising networks, or tracking pixels).
  • No social media integration.
  • No browsing history.
  • No contact, photo, or device data access.

How We Deliver News Without Accounts or Tracking

Verilumia delivers verified news to everyone without requiring accounts or personal information. All users receive the same curated, verified stories. Any preferences you set are stored locally on your device only and never synced to our servers.

How We Use Data

  • News Delivery: Show the stories that match the categories you've selected (preferences stored only on your device).
  • Support: Respond to your direct inquiries.
  • Communication: Only if you contact us first (we do not send marketing emails or newsletters).

Data Sharing

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data. Your information may only be shared in these limited circumstances:

  • Legal Requirements: When required by law, court order, or to protect rights and safety.
  • Business Transfers: In the event of a merger or acquisition, with advance notice to users.

Security

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your data:

  • Encryption: All data transmission uses TLS encryption.
  • Data Minimization: We collect as little data as possible.
  • Regular Updates: Continuous security monitoring and prompt security patches.

Your Rights

Since we don't store user accounts or personal data, most privacy rights are inherently respected. However, you may still contact us for:

  • Deletion: Request removal of any support messages you've sent.
  • Access/Correction: Request a copy or correction of information you've voluntarily shared.
