Last updated: February 7, 2026

Overview

Signify News ("we," "us," or "our") is operated by Parallax Inc, doing business as Parallax Vision. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, and share information when you use our website at signify.news and related services (collectively, the "Service").

1. Information We Collect

Publicly Available Information

Our core service analyzes publicly available social media posts. This includes:

•Public tweets and social media posts submitted for fact-checking
•Publicly available usernames and display names associated with analyzed posts
•Article content from publicly accessible news URLs referenced in posts

Automatically Collected Information

When you visit our website, we may automatically collect:

•Browser type, device type, and operating system
•Pages visited, time spent, and referral sources
•IP address and approximate geographic location

We use Google Analytics to collect this information. See Google's privacy policy for details on how Google processes this data.

Dashboard Access Information

If you create an account for dashboard access, we collect the email address you provide. This is used solely for authentication and account management purposes.

2. How We Use Information

We use the information we collect to:

•Publish verification results on our website and social media platforms
•Improve the accuracy and quality of our verification systems
•Analyze usage patterns to improve the Service

3. AI Processing

Our Service uses artificial intelligence (Google Gemini) to analyze and verify claims. When content is processed through our AI pipeline:

•Public social media content is sent to Google's Vertex AI API for analysis
•Search queries may be generated to find corroborating or contradicting sources
•AI-generated assessments are stored alongside the original claim for transparency

AI processing is subject to Google's data processing terms. Content sent to the Vertex AI API is not used by Google to train their models.

4. Information Sharing

We do not sell your personal information. We may share information with:

•Service providers: Third-party services that help us operate (cloud hosting, analytics, AI processing)
•Public publication: Fact-check results are published publicly on our website and social media as part of our core service
•Legal requirements: When required by law, regulation, or legal process

5. Data Retention

Published fact-check assessments are retained indefinitely as part of the public record. Analytics data is retained according to Google Analytics' default retention policies. Temporary processing caches (used during AI verification) are automatically deleted within 7 to 30 days.

6. Cookies & Local Storage

We use:

•Essential cookies: For basic site functionality and authentication
•Local storage: To remember your theme preference (light/dark mode)
•Analytics cookies: Google Analytics cookies to understand how visitors use our site

7. Security

We implement reasonable security measures to protect the information we handle, including encrypted connections (HTTPS), secure cloud infrastructure, and access controls. However, no system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your information.

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to:

•Request access to information we hold about you
•Request correction of inaccurate information
