Privacy Policy for TrueCheck
Last updated: June 12, 2026
TrueCheck helps you fact-check claims in videos. This policy explains what we
process and why. We built the app to need as little of your data as possible.
No account, no profile
TrueCheck does not require sign-in. We do not ask for your name, email, phone number, or contacts.
We do not build an advertising profile of you.
What we process
The video link you check. When you share or paste a link, the app resolves it and sends the
resolved video URL plus basic public metadata (title, author handle, thumbnail) to our backend.
The backend transcribes the video and checks its claims against public web sources. We do not
judge or store information about you — only the public claims in the video.
A random device id. Generated on first launch and stored on your device. It is used only to
apply the free daily limit and prevent abuse. It is not linked to your identity.
Cached results. Analysis results are cached (keyed by the video link) so re-checking the same
link is fast and cheap. Caches expire automatically.
Purchase status. If you subscribe, Google Play tells the app whether your subscription is
active. Payment details are handled entirely by Google Play; we never see your card.
Third-party processors
To produce a result we send video content / claim text to:
Google Gemini (transcription, claim extraction, judging).
Serper.dev (Google web search results used as evidence).
tikwm.com (resolving the shared link to a playable video).
These providers process the data only to return a result to us. We do not sell your data to anyone.
What we do NOT collect
We do not collect precise location, contacts, photos/media beyond the link you choose to check, or
device identifiers beyond the random id above.
Data retention
- The random device id and your settings stay on your device until you uninstall or clear data.
- Your check history is stored only on your device.
- Cached results on the backend expire automatically (about one week).
Children
TrueCheck is not directed at children under 13.
Not professional advice
Verdicts reflect what cited public sources say. TrueCheck is not medical, legal, or financial
advice. Always consult a qualified professional for important decisions.
Your choices
- Clear your on-device history any time in the app (History → delete).
- Uninstalling the app removes all on-device data.
