Effective Date: March 30, 2026 · Last updated: March 30, 2026
Summary: We collect text you submit for analysis, basic request metadata (IP, user agent), and usage statistics. We do not sell your data, share it with third parties for marketing, or store full text beyond operational necessity. Retention is 90 days for analysis records.
Candor ("Candor," "we," "us," or "our") operates the deception analysis API and website at getcandor.polsia.app. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect information when you use the Service.
We collect two categories of data:
A. Data You Submit
When you submit text to the Candor API for analysis, we store the following:
| Data Element | What We Store | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Input text | First 500 characters of submitted text | Audit trail, quality assurance, abuse prevention |
| Input length | Character count of full submission | Usage statistics |
| Analysis result | Deception score, confidence, signal breakdown, verdict | Usage history, model improvement |
We do not store the full text of submissions beyond the first 500 characters.
B. Automatically Collected Data
When you access the Service, we automatically collect:
We use the data we collect for the following purposes:
We do not use your submitted text to train machine learning models for sale to third parties, nor do we use it for behavioral advertising.
We retain analysis records (input text snippet, score, metadata) for 90 days from the date of submission. After 90 days, records are deleted from our database.
Aggregate, anonymized statistics (total request counts, score distributions) are retained indefinitely as they contain no personally identifiable information.
IP addresses are stored with request records and deleted on the same 90-day schedule.
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We share data only in the following limited circumstances:
We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your data, including:
No method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure. While we take reasonable precautions, we cannot guarantee absolute security of data transmitted to or stored by our Service.
Candor does not use tracking cookies. The only client-side storage we use is a localStorage item (polsia_vid) that stores a randomly generated anonymous UUID to count unique visitors in aggregate. This identifier is not linked to any personal account and cannot be used to identify you. You can clear it at any time by clearing your browser's local storage.
We do not use third-party advertising trackers, social media pixels, or behavioral retargeting.
The Service is not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has submitted data through our Service, contact us at the address below and we will delete it promptly.
Depending on your location, you may have rights regarding your personal data, including the right to access, correct, or request deletion of data we hold about you. Because we do not collect accounts or link requests to individual identities, the most effective way to exercise these rights is to contact us with your IP address and approximate date/time of submissions.
For users in the European Economic Area (EEA) or California, additional rights under GDPR or CCPA may apply. Contact us to submit a data request.
The Service is operated from the United States. If you access the Service from outside the US, your data will be transferred to and processed in the US, which may have different data protection laws than your jurisdiction. By using the Service, you consent to this transfer.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the updated policy on this page with a revised effective date. Continued use of the Service following an update constitutes acceptance of the new policy.
