Information We Collect

To provide our document verification services, we may collect the following types of information:

Name

Your full name for account identification

Email Address

For account access and notifications

Uploaded Documents

Temporarily processed for hash generation

IP Address

How We Use Your Data

We use your personal information for the following purposes:

  • Document verification and authenticity confirmation
  • Creating cryptographic hashes (SHA-256) of your documents
  • Blockchain timestamp anchoring on Polygon network
  • Platform security and fraud prevention
  • Customer support and communication
  • Service improvement and analytics

Document Processing

When you upload a document for verification, we process it to generate a unique cryptographic hash (SHA-256 fingerprint). This hash is a mathematical representation of your document that cannot be reverse-engineered to reveal the original content.

Important:

  • - Your documents are NOT stored on the blockchain
  • - Only the cryptographic hash is recorded for verification
  • - Document content remains private and secure

Blockchain Data

Document hashes may be recorded on public blockchain networks (Polygon) for verification purposes. Please note that blockchain records are:

  • Permanent: Once recorded, blockchain data cannot be deleted or modified
  • Public: Transaction records are visible on the blockchain network
  • Anonymous: Only the hash is recorded, not personal information or document content

Data Retention

We retain your personal data only for as long as necessary to provide our verification services and fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy. Account information is retained while your account is active. You may request deletion of your account data at any time, subject to legal retention requirements and the immutable nature of blockchain records.
