Recording Consent

Effective [Effective date]

Verity records conversations, so it can capture other people's voices. Recording someone without permission can be illegal and can hurt trust. Before each recording or upload, Verity asks you to confirm:

“I confirm that everyone in this conversation knows it is being recorded and has agreed, and that recording it is lawful where each participant is located.”

We save that confirmation, with the time and wording, alongside the conversation.

What this means for you

• Ask first, every time. Tell everyone you're recording and that it may be analyzed by AI, and get their agreement. Saying it out loud at the start of the recording is a good habit.
• Know the rules where people are. Some US states (for example California, Florida, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Montana, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, and Washington) and many countries require everyone's consent. When people are in different places, follow the strictest rule that applies.
• Videos and posts count too. When you upload a screen recording of someone else's video, make sure your use is lawful and respects their rights.
• If someone says no, don't record. If someone asks you to stop, stop, and delete the recording if they ask.
