Privacy Policy

Truth Score Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 29, 2026. This policy explains what Truth Score collects, why it collects it, and how the browser extension and website use data.

Short Version

Truth Score reads visible social media content only to show reputation signals and record verified safety incidents.

We do not sell user data. We do not use collected data for advertising. We minimize stored evidence by keeping hashes, categories, confidence, timestamps, score impact, and social identifiers needed for the ledger.

Information We Collect

Social identifiers

Public usernames, handles, profile IDs, platform names, and profile URLs detected on supported social platforms.

Visible page content

Visible comments, captions, profile text, post context, and public interaction text needed to detect abuse, bully/spam, hate, or other safety signals.

Media for analysis

Visible or user-investigated images, videos, frames, GIFs, thumbnails, and related media metadata may be processed to detect deepfake or synthetic-media signals.

Ledger records

Incident category, score impact, confidence, evidence hash, duplicate-detection hash, timestamp, platform, and target social identifier.

Extension settings

Local settings such as protection toggles, side panel state, session activity, and display preferences may be stored in browser storage.

Technical diagnostics

Basic request metadata such as time, endpoint, status, and error details may be used to keep the service reliable and secure.

Information We Do Not Intentionally Collect

No passwords or payment data

Truth Score does not ask for or intentionally collect passwords, credit card numbers, banking data, or payment credentials.

No raw comment storage

Comments are processed for classification and duplicate prevention. The ledger stores hashes and results, not a permanent copy of the original raw comment text.

No media archive

Media may be processed for analysis, but Truth Score does not keep a public media archive. Stored records are minimized to hashes, categories, confidence, and score impact.

No advertising profile

Truth Score does not sell data, build ad profiles, or use collected data for targeted advertising.

Future Categories

Not active by default today

Roadmap ideas such as fake-profile signals, scientific or unscientific content labels, ayurvedic-content labels, and court-judgment context labels are future improvements and are not active scoring categories unless released in the product.

Policy will be updated first

If Truth Score starts collecting or processing new data for these categories, this privacy policy, the website, and Chrome Web Store disclosures will be updated before or alongside release.

Conclusive vs non-conclusive

Future legal or news context features are intended to distinguish public conclusions from unresolved allegations, not to present allegations as proven facts.

Safety-first labels

Future labels will be designed to reduce confusion and false certainty, especially for health, science, ayurvedic, news, and legal-context content.

How We Use Information

Show score pills

Detected social IDs are checked against the ledger so the extension can display a compact Truth Score pill beside usernames.

Detect safety incidents

Truth Score AI analyzes supported visible comments and media to detect deepfake, bully/spam, hate, and other safety signals.

Update the ledger

Verified incidents update the target social ID’s score and category counts, while duplicate evidence is blocked using hashes.

Power public score checks

The website can show the latest score and flag breakdown for social IDs already recorded by the ledger.

Protect the service

Technical logs and duplicate-detection hashes help prevent spam, abuse, repeated submissions, and service misuse.

Improve accuracy

Aggregated incident outcomes may be reviewed to improve classification quality and reduce false positives.

Data Sharing and Processing

Truth Score API

The extension sends necessary requests to Truth Score servers so scores, incidents, and live feed updates can work.

AI processing

Supported text and media may be processed by Truth Score AI systems and trusted infrastructure providers only for the user-facing safety features described here.

Service providers

Hosting, database, security, and infrastructure providers may process data only as needed to operate Truth Score.

Legal and safety

We may disclose information if required by law, to protect users, or to investigate abuse of the service.

Chrome Extension Permissions

Supported social sites

Host permissions allow Truth Score to run on supported social platforms so it can detect visible usernames, inject score pills, and analyze visible content.

Storage

Browser storage is used for local extension settings, session state, and user interface preferences.

Side panel

The side panel displays live feed, current target score, category counts, and extension status.

Tabs and active page

Tab and active page access are used to understand the current supported platform and coordinate the extension interface with the visible page.

Security and Retention

Secure transport

Requests to Truth Score services are sent over HTTPS.

Hash protection

Evidence hashes help deduplicate records and reduce storage of raw evidence.

Retention

Ledger records may be retained while needed to provide reputation scoring, abuse prevention, dispute review, safety analytics, and score history.

Access controls

Administrative tools are restricted and intended only for authorized review and operation of the ledger.

Your Choices

Disable protection

You can turn protection off in the extension panel or disable/remove the extension from your browser.

Clear local data

You can clear extension storage from your browser settings or uninstall the extension.

Request review

You may request review, correction, or deletion of records associated with a social identifier where legally and technically possible.

Contact

For privacy requests, contact the Truth Score team through the contact method listed on the official website or Chrome Web Store listing.

Chrome Web Store Limited Use

Truth Score uses extension data only for its single purpose: social reputation scoring and safety incident detection.

Use of information received from Chrome extension permissions is limited to providing and improving Truth Score’s user-facing features. We do not sell this information, use it for advertising, or transfer it except as needed to provide the service, comply with law, prevent abuse, or maintain security.
