Verdict keeps as little as it can. Your options, photos or words, go once to the AI model that makes the call, and Verdict keeps neither. There’s no account, and it never asks for your name or email.
01When you ask for a verdict
Your options (two, or up to four on Pro, each a photo, a few words, or both), your note, and your answer if it asks you one question go to Verdict’s server at turbograffix.com, which passes them on, once, to Anthropic’s Claude, the AI model that makes the call. Your lean stays on Verdict’s server, so the model judges blind.
So the call can weigh the time and the weather, your phone or browser tells the server your time zone, and the server works out a rough point, about 10 km across, from your internet address, using a database on the server itself. It asks MET Norway, the Norwegian Meteorological Institute’s free weather service, for the forecast at that point. MET Norway sees only the point, never your address. The model gets your local time and the weather, never where you are, and neither is kept.
Under Anthropic’s commercial terms, Anthropic doesn’t train its models on what Verdict sends, and it deletes it within 30 days. If its safety checks flag something as breaking its usage policy, it can keep that for up to 2 years. So leave faces, documents and anything private out of the frame.
Test copies of Verdict for iPhone from before 19 October 2026 (build 6 and earlier, never in the App Store) still send your photos and note to Google’s Gemini, on its free tier. Under Google’s terms for it, Google may use what you send to improve its products, and people at Google may read and review it. Those terms also keep that tier out of the European Economic Area, Switzerland and the UK, so those copies don’t work there. To check, Verdict’s server looks up your country from your internet address in a database on the server itself. The address goes nowhere else, and the country isn’t kept.
Verdict’s server never saves your photos or the words you give for each option. It holds them only for as long as it takes to ask.
02What Verdict keeps
For each verdict, on Verdict’s server:
- the note you typed, and your lean
- its answer: which one, how sure, and why (the why can name your options)
- which one you went with, if you tell it
- the time, and a code made from your internet address in place of the address itself
To limit runs, it also counts how many verdicts each of those codes asks for in an hour, and how many it gives in a day. Like every website, the server keeps routine access logs for a short time.
To count what each iPhone and plan has used, it keeps a few numbers under codes made one way from the app’s install code and, if you subscribe, from your subscription’s number: free verdicts used, verdicts used this month, and tries this hour. The codes can’t be turned back into either, and they aren’t kept with your verdicts.
When Verdict won’t help with a question because it could hurt someone, it notes only the time, the kind of block and how it was caught, never what was asked.
No photos, no account, no name or email. Nothing is sold, shared or used for ads.
While Verdict is in development there’s no set date for deleting these records. To have yours deleted, or to ask what’s kept, write to info@turbograffix.com with roughly when you asked and what for.
03On iPhone
- A photo you take in Verdict goes straight into Verdict. It isn’t saved to your camera roll.
- From your library, Verdict sees only the photos you pick. It can’t look through the rest.
- Before a photo goes up, Verdict makes a smaller copy without its hidden details, like where it was taken and on what.
- Your history, with small copies of your photos and the words you gave, stays on your iPhone in Verdict’s own storage, left out of backups. Delete a verdict, or clear them all, in History. Deleting the app deletes them too.
- Verdict adds an image to your library only when you share a verdict and choose Save Image.
- The first time it opens, Verdict makes a random install code and keeps it in your iPhone’s keychain, on this iPhone only and out of backups. It goes with each verdict so the server can count your free ones. It isn’t your name, your Apple Account or anything from your iPhone.
- Plans are bought through Apple. Verdict never sees your card, your name or your Apple Account. With each verdict the app sends the subscription record Apple signed, so the server can check your plan, and the server keeps only a code made from its number.
- The app has no ads, no analytics and no tracking.
04On the web
- Before a photo goes up, your browser makes a smaller copy without its hidden details, like where it was taken.
- Verdict stores nothing about you in your browser, only a copy of its own pages so it can open offline.
- Like every page on turbograffix.com, Verdict’s pages count visits, with StatCounter and with TurboStats, TURBO GRAFFIX’s own counter. They note the page, the page you came from, your browser, screen size and language, and a rough location worked out from your internet address. TurboStats keeps no internet addresses and sets no cookies.
05Age
Verdict is for adults, 18 and over. It isn’t made for children and doesn’t knowingly take anything from them.
06Who’s responsible
Verdict is made by TURBO GRAFFIX™. For anything about your privacy, write to info@turbograffix.com.
When this policy changes, the date at the top changes with it, and anything that affects you goes in Verdict’s version history.
