Privacy Policy

Introduction

Verko (“Verko,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) operates verkoagency.com and is building a voice-first to-do app that turns spoken plans into tasks, schedules, and proof rules. Distractions can stay locked until proof is submitted and verified.

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share, and protect information when you visit our website, join our pre-launch waitlist, contact us, or use Verko products and services (collectively, the “Services”).

This policy is provided for informational purposes and is not formal legal advice. By using the Services, you agree to the practices described here.

Information we collect

The information we collect depends on how you interact with Verko. We may collect the following categories of information:

Waitlist information

If you join our pre-launch waitlist, we may collect information you submit through Jotform or similar tools, such as:

• Email address
• Name, if you choose to provide it
• Reason for interest or other optional responses, if you choose to provide them
• Basic submission metadata (for example, date and time of submission)

Future app information

When the Verko app becomes available, we may collect information needed to provide core functionality and accountability features, such as:

• Tasks, schedules, and focus blocks you create or speak aloud
• Apps, websites, or categories you choose to block during focus sessions
• Proof uploads, including photos, screenshots, and voice recaps you submit to verify completed work
• AI verification results related to proof submissions, if that feature is enabled
• Focus history, streaks, and session logs
• Device, app, or usage information if you enable features that require it (for example, blocking or accountability settings)
• Account credentials and profile information, if accounts are offered

Contact and support information

If you email us or otherwise contact Verko, we collect the information you provide, such as your email address, message content, and any attachments.

Technical information

We may automatically collect limited technical information when you visit our website, such as browser type, device type, general location (city/region level), pages viewed, and referring URLs. If we add analytics tools later, those tools may collect similar usage data.

How we use information

We use information we collect to:

• Operate and improve the Verko website and waitlist
• Send waitlist updates, launch announcements, and early-access invitations
• Provide, maintain, and improve the Verko app when available
• Process proof submissions and determine whether tasks appear completed, including through automated or AI-assisted review
• Provide customer support and respond to inquiries
• Maintain safety, security, and fraud prevention
• Comply with legal obligations and enforce our terms
• Understand usage trends and improve product design

AI processing disclosure

Verko may use automated systems, including artificial intelligence, to help verify whether submitted proof appears to show completed tasks. Proof submissions (such as photos, screenshots, or voice recaps) may be processed by Verko and/or third-party AI providers for this purpose.

AI verification is intended as an accountability aid. Results may be incorrect or incomplete. You should not rely on AI verification as a guarantee that work was completed to any particular standard.

Third-party services

We use third-party services to operate Verko. These providers may process information on our behalf according to their own terms and privacy policies. Current or future providers may include:

• Jotform — waitlist form submissions and related data
• Vercel — website hosting and infrastructure
• Analytics providers, if we add website or product analytics later
• AI or machine-learning providers, if we use third-party models or APIs for proof verification or product features
• Payment processors, if paid plans are offered in the future

We are not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party websites or services linked from our site.

Cookies and analytics

Our website may use essential cookies or similar technologies needed for basic functionality and security. We may also add optional analytics cookies or tools in the future to understand how visitors use verkoagency.com.

If we introduce non-essential cookies or analytics, we will update this policy and, where required, provide appropriate notice or consent options.

Data retention

We retain information for as long as needed to operate the Services, communicate with waitlist members, improve Verko, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.

Waitlist information is generally retained until you request deletion, unsubscribe, or we no longer need it for pre-launch communications, unless a longer retention period is required for legal, security, or operational reasons.

Children and minors

Verko is not intended for children under 13 years of age, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

If you are under 18, you should use Verko only with permission from a parent or legal guardian. If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under 13 without appropriate consent, we will take steps to delete it.

Your choices

You may:

• Unsubscribe from waitlist or marketing emails using the unsubscribe option in those messages, if available
• Request access, correction, or deletion of your information by emailing inquiries.verko@outlook.com
• Decline to provide optional information, though some features may not be available without it

Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect information we collect. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

International users

Verko is based in the United States. If you access the Services from outside the United States, you understand that your information may be processed and stored in the United States or other countries where we or our service providers operate, which may have different data protection laws than your home country.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the effective date at the top of this page. Material changes may also be communicated through the website, waitlist email, or in-app notice where appropriate.

Your continued use of the Services after an update means you accept the revised policy.
