Your specific idea details are never shared with third parties or used to train publicly available AI models.

3. Information Sharing

We share your data only as necessary to fulfill our service:

Internal Use: Access is restricted to Validify personnel directly involved in processing your validation (e.g., developers, analysts).

Third-Party Providers:

• Stripe processes payments and receives your email and transaction details.
• Meta and Reddit may receive ad creative assets. They do not receive your form responses or idea details.
• Secure hosting providers store your data with encryption.

Legal Obligations: We may disclose data if required by law, such as in response to a court order, but only to the extent necessary and with efforts to protect your privacy.

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with unrelated third parties for marketing purposes.

We implement robust measures to protect your information:

Encryption: Data is encrypted during transmission and storage using industry-standard protocols.

Access Controls: Only authorized personnel with a legitimate need can access your data, protected by strict authentication measures.

You may manage cookies through your browser settings, though this may affect login functionality.
