Introduction

Veritas Mea Labs ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect information when you use our website (veritasmealabs.com), our applications (including Veritas Companion), or when you contact us directly.

We build our products with privacy by design - meaning we minimize data collection, limit how information is used, and do not sell or share your personal data for advertising purposes.

Please read this policy carefully. By using our services, you agree to the practices described here.

1. Information We Collect

1.1 Information You Provide Directly

We collect information you give us when you:

• • Contact us through our website contact form or by email

1.2 Information Collected Automatically

When you visit our website, we may automatically collect:

• • Your IP address and approximate location
• • Browser type and version
• • Pages visited and time spent
• • Device type and operating system

We use this information to operate, maintain, and improve our website. We do not use it to build advertising profiles.

1.3 Information Collected Through Our Applications

Veritas Companion and any other Veritas Mea Labs applications collect only the information necessary for the application to function. Specific data practices for each application are described within the application and in any supplemental privacy disclosures provided at the time of installation or account creation.

We do not collect sensitive personal information beyond what is required for the product to function as intended.

2. How We Use Your Information

• • Process and fulfill requests related to your account or data
• • Comply with applicable laws and legal obligations
• • Protect the security and integrity of our systems and users

We do not use your information to build advertising profiles, sell to third parties, or contact you for purposes unrelated to your inquiry without your consent.

3. How We Share Information

We do not sell your personal information.

We may share your information only in the following limited circumstances:

• • Service providers: Third-party vendors who help us operate our website and applications (e.g., hosting, analytics, customer support platforms) - under contractual confidentiality obligations
• • Legal requirements: When required by law, regulation, court order, or to protect our legal rights
• • Safety: When disclosure is necessary to prevent imminent harm to a person or protect the safety of our users or the public
• • Business transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may transfer to the acquiring entity, subject to the same privacy commitments

4. Data Retention

We retain your information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy or as required by law.

When information is no longer needed, we delete or anonymize it. You may request deletion of your personal data at any time - see Section 7.

5. Security

We apply industry-standard security practices to protect the information we hold, including encrypted transmission, access controls, and regular security review.

No method of transmission or storage is completely secure. We take reasonable steps to protect your data, but we cannot guarantee absolute security.
