Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy describes how Fact Check (the "Service") handles information when you use the Fact Check application on Even Realities G2 smart glasses, the subscribe page at factcheck.cash, and related backend services (collectively, the "Service").
1. Who we are
Fact Check is operated by an independent developer based in Quebec, Canada. Contact: [email protected].
2. Information we collect
Audio
When you tap the glasses to fact-check, the app sends a buffer of up to the last 30 seconds of microphone audio to our backend, which forwards it to Google's Gemini 2.5 API for analysis. We do not store the audio. It is held in memory only for the duration of a single fact-check request (typically a few seconds) and then discarded. We do not transcribe it for our own records.
Identity
We identify your installation by your Even Realities account ID, provided to us by the Even Hub SDK. This identifier is the same account ID Even Realities uses internally for your account. If your Even Realities account ID is unavailable (e.g., when running in a developer simulator), we generate a random UUID and store it locally on your device only.
Usage metering
We record one row per (identifier, UTC day) showing how many fact-checks you've performed that day, so we can enforce the free-tier daily limit. We do not store the audio, the transcript, the verdict, or anything else about the content of your fact-checks.
Subscription
If you subscribe to Fact Check Pro, we store your identifier alongside a Stripe customer ID and subscription ID, so we know your subscription is active. We do not store your name, email, postal address, payment card, or any other payment information — all payment data is handled by Stripe (see Section 4).
Network metadata
Our backend logs the client IP address, a truncated identifier prefix (first 8 characters), request size, and processing time for each request. These logs are used for rate limiting, abuse detection, and debugging. They are retained for up to 30 days and then deleted.
3. How we use information
- Audio: sent once to Google Gemini for fact-check analysis. Discarded immediately after.
- Identifier: to associate your fact-check count and subscription status with your account.
- Subscription IDs: to allow you to manage, cancel, or update billing for your subscription via the Stripe Customer Portal.
- Logs: for security and operational purposes only — never for advertising or profiling.
4. Third-party services
The Service relies on these providers. By using Fact Check you also agree to their privacy practices:
- Google (Gemini API) — receives the recorded audio for analysis. See Google Privacy Policy.
- Stripe, Inc. — processes all payments. We never see your card details. See Stripe Privacy Policy.
- Supabase, Inc. — hosts our usage and subscription database. See Supabase Privacy Policy.
- Cloudflare, Inc. — provides CDN, DNS, and tunnel infrastructure. See Cloudflare Privacy Policy.
- Even Realities — provides the hardware and host application that runs Fact Check. See Even Realities Privacy Policy.
5. Data retention
- Audio: not retained (discarded after the request completes).
- Daily usage counts: retained indefinitely as aggregate counters per (account, day) — we may purge counts older than 90 days at our discretion.
- Subscription records: retained while your subscription is active and for up to 7 years after cancellation, as required for tax and accounting purposes.
- Server logs: retained for up to 30 days.
6. Your rights
Depending on your jurisdiction (e.g., GDPR in the EEA/UK, CCPA in California, Quebec's Law 25), you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or export your personal data, and to object to or restrict its processing. To exercise any of these rights, email [email protected]. We will respond within 30 days.
To delete your account and all associated data, email us with your Even Realities account ID. We will revoke any active subscription, delete your usage rows and premium flag, and instruct Stripe to delete your customer record.
7. Security
All connections to our backend use HTTPS. Payment data is processed entirely by Stripe over PCI-DSS compliant infrastructure. Database access uses scoped credentials with the principle of least privilege.
8. Children
The Service is not directed at children under 13 (or under 16 in the EEA). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe we have, email [email protected].
9. Changes
We may update this Privacy Policy. Material changes will be announced via the app and in the listing on the Even Hub store. The "Last updated" date above always reflects the current version.
