5. Public Verification Records
VeriEntity is designed to provide public business identity records. When an application is approved and the public profile is enabled, the following information may be publicly searchable or displayed:
- Legal entity name.
- Operating brand or DBA.
- State of registration.

Password hashes, private account credentials, internal review notes, the full support-message body, and private payment credentials are not intended for public display.
6. Payments and PayPal
VeriEntity uses PayPal to process trust-seal activation and annual renewal payments. PayPal may independently collect payment credentials, billing information, device information, and transaction-risk data under its own policies.
VeriEntity may receive transaction identifiers, payment amounts, currencies, completion status, timestamps, payer-related details made available by PayPal, and dispute or reversal information necessary to administer the service.
7. Email and Service Communications
VeriEntity may use your email address to send messages relating to:
- Account creation and access.
- Application submission and review.
- Approval or denial decisions.
- Requests for additional information.
- Trust-seal activation.
- Payment and renewal status.
- Expiration, suspension, or revocation.
- Security notices.
- Support responses.
- Material service or policy updates.
Essential service communications are part of operating your account and verification record and may continue even when you do not wish to receive promotional email. VeriEntity does not currently promise a promotional mailing program through this Policy.
10. Sale and Targeted Advertising
VeriEntity does not sell account passwords, private support messages, or full payment credentials.
VeriEntity is not currently designed as a consumer-data brokerage or cross-context behavioral advertising service. If our practices materially change, this Policy will be updated and legally required choices will be provided.
11. Data Retention
VeriEntity retains information for as long as reasonably necessary to:
- Operate accounts and public verification records.
- Maintain historical verification and status information.
- Complete payments, renewals, support, and disputes.
- Prevent fraud, misuse, and duplicate applications.
- Maintain security and audit logs.
- Enforce agreements and establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.
- Meet accounting, tax, legal, and regulatory obligations.
Some information may remain after account closure or public-record removal when retention is necessary for legitimate business, security, dispute, or legal reasons.
12. Information Security
VeriEntity uses administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards intended to protect information. These may include password hashing, session regeneration, CSRF protection, access controls, payment processing through PayPal, logging, and limited access to administrative functions.
No website, email system, database, transmission method, or storage system can be guaranteed completely secure. You are responsible for protecting your account password and promptly reporting suspected unauthorized access.
13. Your Choices and Requests
You may contact VeriEntity to request:
- Correction of account or public business information.
- Review of an inaccurate verification record.
- Account closure.
- Information about the status of a support or privacy request.
- Access to certain information associated with your account, where appropriate.
- Deletion of certain nonpublic information, subject to legal and operational exceptions.
VeriEntity may require verification of your identity, email, account access, business authority, or record number before completing a request.
14. United States State Privacy Rights
Depending on where you reside and whether an applicable state privacy law covers VeriEntity and the information involved, you may have rights concerning access, correction, deletion, portability, or certain data-use choices.
Privacy requests may be submitted through the VeriEntity contact page or support email. We may deny or limit a request where an exception applies, the request cannot be verified, the information is part of a public business record, or retention is necessary for security, fraud prevention, legal compliance, accounting, dispute resolution, or service administration.
VeriEntity will not unlawfully discriminate against a person for exercising an applicable privacy right.
15. Children’s Privacy
VeriEntity is intended for businesses and adult authorized representatives. The service is not directed to children under thirteen, and children should not submit verification applications or create business accounts.
16. External Websites and Services
VeriEntity public records and trust seals may link to verified business websites, PayPal, government registries, or other external services. VeriEntity is not responsible for the privacy, security, availability, or content practices of those third parties.
17. Changes to This Privacy Policy
VeriEntity may update this Policy as the service, technology, verification process, legal requirements, or business practices change. The updated version will be posted with a revised effective date.
Material changes may also be communicated through the website, business dashboard, or account email when appropriate.
