VETO ("VETO", "we", "us") operates a private, verified matchmaking and curated networking service for verified adults worldwide. This policy explains what we collect, why, how we protect it, and the choices you have. By creating an account you agree to this policy.
1. Who this applies to
VETO is strictly for adults aged 18 and over. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 18, and accounts found to belong to minors are removed.
2. Information we collect
Account & identity: email address and the credentials you use to sign in.
Profile information: display name, gender, profession, city/state, photos, bio, and the preferences and questionnaire answers you provide.
Location: your device location, when you choose to share it, used to show distance and nearby members.
Photos & media: images you upload for your profile or for verification.
Messages & activity: messages you exchange with other members, and in-app actions such as likes, passes, matches, and arrangement proposals (which are private agreements only — see our Terms).
Verification & financial documents: a live identity check through our verification partner, and — only if you choose to submit it — a bank statement used solely to confirm an income threshold. We derive an approve/decline decision and a total inflow figure over the statement period; we do not use these documents for any other purpose.
Purchases: records of subscriptions and Spotlight boosts. Payment itself is processed by Google Play; we do not receive your card details.
Device & technical: a hashed device identifier used to prevent banned users from re-registering, plus basic platform information.
3. How we use your information
To create and secure your account and verify eligibility.
To present your profile to other verified members and power discovery, distance, and matching.
To enable messaging and the in-app arrangement feature.
To keep the community safe — reviewing reports, blocking abuse, and preventing fraud and ban-evasion.
To process subscriptions and boosts.
We do not sell your personal data.
4. How verification & financial data is handled
Any bank statement you submit is stored in a private, encrypted vault that the app itself cannot read back. It is processed by an automated verification agent strictly to produce an eligibility decision, and is never sold, published, or shared with other members. You are never required to submit a statement — wealth verification is one optional route to access.
5. Service providers & sharing
We share data only with service providers who process it on our behalf, under contract, and only as needed to run VETO:
Supabase — secure hosting, database, authentication, and encrypted storage.
Anthropic — automated processing of a submitted statement to return an eligibility decision (not used to train models).
RevenueCat & Google Play — purchase processing and subscription management.
Our identity-verification partner — live identity and liveness checks.
We may also disclose information where required by law or to protect the safety and rights of our members.
6. Data retention
We keep your information while your account is active. When you delete your account, your profile, photos, and messages are removed, and verification material is purged within 30 days, except where we must retain limited records to meet legal, tax, or fraud-prevention obligations.
7. Your rights & choices
Access & correction: view and edit your profile any time in the app.
Block & report: block any member and report users or messages from within the app.
Location: withdraw location access at any time in your device settings.
8. Security
Data is encrypted in transit. Verification documents sit in a vault the app cannot read back. Sensitive screens block screenshots, screen recording, and display mirroring to protect member privacy.
9. International data protection
VETO serves members worldwide and handles personal data consistent with applicable data-protection laws, including the EU and UK GDPR and other regulations in the jurisdictions where our members are located. You may exercise your rights using the contact below.
10. Changes
We may update this policy. Material changes will be reflected by the effective date above and, where appropriate, notified in the app.
