Who We Are

VerifiMind-PEAS is an open-source multi-model AI validation framework created by Alton Lee (Human Orchestrator, YSenseAI). This Privacy Policy applies to the VerifiMind-PEAS service at verifimind.ysenseai.org, including the Early Adopter (EA) program, PILOT program, and Pioneer subscription tier.

Payment Processing and Polar

Pioneer tier subscriptions are processed by Polar Software Inc ("Polar"), which acts as our merchant of record. Polar is the legal seller of the Pioneer subscription and handles all payment processing, tax compliance, invoicing, and billing on behalf of VerifiMind-PEAS.

VerifiMind-PEAS never sees, stores, or has access to your payment credentials. Payment information is collected directly by Polar through their Stripe Connect checkout.

What Polar shares with us: Subscription status (active, cancelled, expired), tier level (Pioneer), Polar transaction ID, subscription dates, granted benefit flags, and the email address you used for payment (to match your VerifiMind-PEAS account).

Polar's privacy practices: Polar processes your payment data under their own Privacy Policy at polar.sh/legal/privacy-policy. Polar is GDPR-compliant and PCI-DSS compliant via Stripe Connect.

Why We Collect Your Data

  • To grant program benefits (EA: 3 months free, PILOT: 6 months free, Pioneer: full coordination tools access)
  • To manage your subscription and tier access via Polar's Customer State API
  • To communicate product updates if you opted in
  • To improve VerifiMind-PEAS based on aggregate, anonymised feedback
  • To maintain compliance records that you gave informed consent

Cookies

VerifiMind-PEAS does not use tracking cookies. When you use the Polar checkout, Polar may set cookies for payment processing and fraud prevention (governed by Polar's privacy practices). Anonymous usage telemetry on verifimind.ysenseai.org uses privacy-respecting analytics that do not track individual users.
