Verdio.

Privacy Policy

Last updated: 22 July 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Daniel Meliksetyan, an individual developer based in Yerevan, Armenia, operating the Verdio app under the name "Verdio" ("we", "us"), collects, uses, and shares your information when you use the Verdio app and related services (the "Services"). It forms part of our Terms & Conditions.

Who this is for

Verdio is intended for users aged 18 and older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Information we collect

• Google account details. Verdio requires Google Sign-In. From it we receive your Google account identifier, email address, name, and profile picture URL. We never see your Google password.
• Your decision content. The dilemmas you describe, your answers to the clarifying questions, and the reasons you give when you push back on a verdict. This is free-text you write, and it can be personal.
• Voice input. If you dictate a dilemma, speech-to-text is performed by your device's own speech recognizer (Google or Apple). Verdio receives only the resulting text — we do not collect or store audio recordings.
• Decision history. Completed verdicts you save (the dilemma, the recommendation, reasons, and any follow-up answer) are stored so your history syncs across your devices.
• Usage and metering. A monthly count of verdicts, your subscription status, and — for abuse prevention — your approximate IP address for short-lived rate limiting.
• Reports you submit. If you flag a verdict, we store the flagged content and category so we can review AI output quality.
• Contact-us / feedback messages. If you write to us from Settings → Contact us, we store your message, the app platform and version, and an optional screenshot you choose to attach.
• Crash and diagnostic data. If the app or our servers hit an error, we collect a crash report — a technical stack trace, the app version, and your device model and operating-system version — to diagnose and fix the problem. These reports are configured to exclude your decision content.

How we use your information

• To provide the Services — generate verdicts, run the interview, and defend or update a verdict when you push back.
• To sync your decision history across your devices.
• To enforce the free-tier limits and manage your subscription.
• To send optional follow-up reminders (only with your permission).
• To keep the Services secure and prevent abuse.
• To detect, diagnose, and fix crashes and errors.

Who we share it with

We do not sell your personal information. To operate the Services we share it, only as needed, with third-party service providers that process it on our behalf:

• AI processing. Your dilemma and answers are sent to a third-party AI model provider to generate the verdict. It processes this input to return a response and does not use it to train its models on our behalf.
• Cloud infrastructure. Providers that host the app and store your account, decision history, and usage data on our behalf (located in the United States).
• Sign-in. Google, which provides the Google Sign-In you use to access Verdio.
• Payments. Google Play (for in-app purchases) and our payment provider acting as merchant of record (for any web purchases), which handle payment, tax, and invoicing. We never receive your card details.
• Email delivery. If you contact us from Settings, your message (and any screenshot you attach) is delivered to us through a third-party email API provider.
• Crash reporting. Crash and diagnostic reports are processed on our behalf by a third-party error-monitoring provider (hosted in the European Union).

We can provide the identity of our current service providers on request. We may also disclose information where required by law, or to protect our rights and the safety of users.

Why we are allowed to use it (legal bases)

If you are in the UK, the EEA or Switzerland, we rely on the following legal bases under the GDPR:

• Performance of a contract — to run your account, generate the verdicts you ask for, sync your history, and manage your subscription. Without this processing the app cannot do what you installed it for.
• Legitimate interests — to keep the Services secure, prevent abuse (short-lived IP rate limiting), and review flagged verdicts to improve output quality. We balance these against your rights.
• Consent — for optional follow-up notifications, which you can grant or refuse at any time and withdraw in the app or your device settings. Withdrawing does not affect processing carried out before you withdrew.
• Legal obligation — where we must keep records, for example payment and tax records held by our payment providers.

Where your data is stored

Your data is stored and processed on servers located in the United States. By using the Services you understand your information is transferred to and processed there.

Where your information is transferred out of the UK, the EEA or Switzerland, we rely on the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses (or the UK equivalent) with the service providers involved, so that your data keeps an equivalent level of protection. You can ask us for details of the safeguards that apply.

How long we keep it

• Account and history — kept until you delete your account.
• Active decision sessions — expire automatically about 6 hours after you start one.
• Flagged-verdict reports — kept up to 90 days.
• Contact-us / feedback messages — kept up to 90 days.
• Backups — routine encrypted backups of durable data age out within about 30 days.
• Payment records — retained by our payment providers as required for accounting, tax, and legal compliance.

Your rights and choices

• Delete your account and data at any time — in the app under Settings → Delete account, or on the web at /account/delete on this site. Deletion removes your account, decision history, and metering data from our active databases; existing backups age out as described above.
• Control notifications in the app's settings or your device settings.

Depending on where you live — in particular in the UK, the EEA and Switzerland — you also have the right to:

• Access a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
• Correct data that is inaccurate or incomplete.
• Erase your data — the in-app and web deletion above does this immediately, and you can also ask us.
• Restrict or object to processing we carry out on the basis of our legitimate interests.
• Portability — receive the data you gave us in a structured, machine-readable format.
• Withdraw consent at any time, where we relied on it.

To exercise any of these, contact us at danmeliksetyan4141@gmail.com. We answer within one month. You will not be charged, and we will not treat you differently for asking.

We make no automated decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects about you. Verdio's verdicts are advice you asked for, not decisions taken about you.

If you think we have handled your data badly, please tell us first — but you also have the right to complain to your local data protection authority. In the EEA you can find yours via the European Data Protection Board; in the UK it is the Information Commissioner's Office.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy; the "Last updated" date reflects the latest version. Material changes will be notified in the app or by email.
