Overview
TrustLens AI ("we", "our", or "us") is a web application and browser extension that helps users verify AI-generated content against real-world evidence. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our service at canitrustai.company and our browser extension.
Information We Collect
Text you submit for verification: When you paste text into TrustLens and click Verify, that text is processed by our servers to extract claims and search for evidence. We store the results (trust score, claims, sources) in our database to generate shareable report links.
IP address (hashed): We use a one-way hash of your IP address solely to enforce free-tier rate limits (5 verifications per day). We do not store your raw IP address.
Pro key: If you subscribe to a paid plan, we generate a unique UUID pro key and store it in our database. This key is also stored in your browser's localStorage. We do not link pro keys to personal identity.
We do not collect your name, email address, or any account information unless you contact us directly.
Browser Extension
The TrustLens AI browser extension (for Chrome) injects a "Verify with TrustLens" button on ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity pages. The extension:
• Does not read, collect, or transmit the content of your conversations
• Only activates when you explicitly click the Verify button
• Passes the selected AI response text to canitrustai.company for verification
• Reads your pro key from localStorage to send with verification requests
The extension does not track your browsing history or activity on any website.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
• Perform claim verification and return trust reports
• Generate shareable report links
• Enforce free-tier rate limits
• Verify paid subscription status
We do not sell, rent, or share your information with third parties for marketing purposes.
Third-Party Services
We use the following third-party services to operate TrustLens:
• Anthropic (Claude API): Text submitted for verification is processed by Anthropic's Claude API to extract and verify claims. Anthropic's privacy policy applies.
• Tavily: We use the Tavily search API to find web evidence for claims. Search queries derived from your submitted text are sent to Tavily.
• Supabase: We store verification results in a Supabase-hosted PostgreSQL database.
• Stripe: If you subscribe, payment processing is handled by Stripe. We do not store payment card information.
• Vercel: Our application is hosted on Vercel's infrastructure.
Data Retention
Verification results (trust reports) are stored indefinitely to support shareable report links. Hashed IP rate-limit records are reset daily. You may request deletion of your data by contacting us at support@canitrustai.company.
Cookies and Local Storage
TrustLens does not use tracking cookies. We use the browser's sessionStorage to temporarily pass text between pages during verification. If you have a paid plan, your pro key is stored in localStorage so you do not need to re-enter it.
Children's Privacy
TrustLens AI is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be reflected by updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of TrustLens after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
