How Verdict Uses What You Send
Last updated: October 11, 2026
This page is the short answer. The full answer is in the Privacy Policy at https://www.getverdictapp.com/privacy.
A read, in one paragraph
You can ask Verdict to read a horse ad you found anywhere: with the Verdict extension in Chrome, or a screenshot on the website. We use what you send to read the ad, compare it with similar horses listed right now, and show you where the asking price sits. Then we let it go. We keep no screenshot, no page words, no photos and no names. Nothing you send goes into Verdict's listings or price figures. A read needs a Verdict account: we check that you are signed in before we look at anything you send.
What we take, and for how long
| What | Why | How long |
|---|---|---|
| A screenshot you share from your phone or upload on the website | To read the horse's details | Only while the read runs |
| From the extension, when you click: the words on the page, with email addresses, phone numbers, links and handles removed first, and the page's web address. The Verdict button also sends a picture of what is on your screen | To read the horse's details, and to see whether Verdict already follows the ad | Only while the read runs |
| A detail you correct, such as the level | To run the read again | Only while the read runs |
| The read itself: the details we read, the range of asking prices for similar horses and how many there were, what we could not see, and which Verdict listing it is when we already follow the ad | So your result has a link you can open again and share | Inside the link. A read too long for a link is kept under a random code for 30 days, not linked to you |
| That you are signed in: your browser sends Verdict's sign-in cookie with each read | So only someone with a Verdict account can ask for a read, and to limit how many reads one account asks for in a day | Checked and let go. The daily count expires within a day |
| Your IP address | To limit how many reads come from one connection in an hour | A counter that expires within a day |
| A count of reads by phone, extension or website, by listing site, and of details people correct | To see which ways in people use, and where reads go wrong | Kept as counts, never linked to you |
| A random code your device keeps and sends with each read | To count how many people come back in a later week | On your device until you clear it. We keep only the date we first saw it |
| A read you save to your shortlist | So you can come back to it | In your account until you remove it |
| On your device: the ads you have read, the asking price when you first read each one and when you last did, the site, the date, Verdict's range for each and how many listings it comes from, the link to your result, the asking price as the ad wrote it, where the horse sits against the range, and the reason when Verdict doesn't price that horse | To tell you when you come back to an ad, and to list your reads this week in the extension | On your device until you clear it, six months at most |
| On your computer, from the extension: a list of the listings Verdict follows on the horse sale sites where it runs on its own, with no web addresses | To show one line on a listing Verdict already follows, without sending the page anywhere | On your computer, replaced with a new copy once a day |
Who else sees it
Anthropic, our AI provider, reads the screenshot or the page's words for us. Vercel runs our website, and Upstash holds short-term records such as counters. No one else receives what you send. We do not sell it, we do not use it for advertising, and the result page carries no advertising tags.
The Chrome extension
On the horse sale sites where Verdict runs on its own, it checks the page address against a list kept on your computer and shows a line under the price when the horse is already on Verdict. Nothing about the page leaves your computer until you click Full read. Those sites are listed under the extension's permissions in Chrome. Everywhere else, including Facebook, nothing is read until you click. On Facebook, a read sends the post's words, and the group's discipline when its name states one. It also sends how many videos the post holds, never the videos themselves. When the panel opens, it asks Verdict whether you are signed in. That check carries nothing about the page.
When you click, the extension reads only the tab in front of you. It carries no advertising or tracking code.
The use of information received from the Verdict extension will adhere to the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
Your choices
A read is kept with your account only if you save it to your shortlist, and then it stays until you remove it. To ask what we hold about you, or to have your account information deleted, write to hello@getverdictapp.com. We answer within 30 days.
