The Mathematics of Verification

Most sites prove you are an adult by learning who you are. Upload an ID, show your face, hand over a name. The site ends up holding exactly the record it then has to protect. TALVEEON works the other way round. It confirms that a visitor is an adult without ever learning their identity, and it leaves the visitor in control of what remains.

The cutout

Access to TALVEEON needs a VeeKey. A VeeKey is bought with a credit card from a separate seller, not from TALVEEON, and that purchase is the age check. Credit is extended to adults, and the bank behind the card has already checked who its account holder is.

The payment happens entirely on the seller’s side. Your card number, name and address never reach our systems. We are not even told that a particular person passed a check. The only thing that reaches us is the key. When you sign in, all we can establish is that the key is valid.

There is no ID scanning and no face or voice age estimation. VEE does not try to guess your age, and she plays no part in verification.

We cannot leak what we never received. The protection is not a promise to guard your identity. It is the fact that your identity never arrives.

What we never collect

• Your card details or billing address.
• Your real name. The only name we hold is one you choose to give VEE, and it can be anything.
• An email address, a phone number or a password. There is no account to register.
• A saved copy of your VeeKey on your device. The app holds it in memory only while you use it, and reloading the app forgets it.

What we keep

Being honest about privacy means listing what is held, not only what is not.

• Your profile: the name you chose and your answers to the short onboarding questions.
• Your recent searches: a short list, kept for up to 30 days, so VEE can pick up where you left off.
• Search records: what was searched for and what was returned, kept to improve results. They are held against an internal number rather than your key or your identity. Until you use the nuke, that number is linked to your key; the nuke cuts that link.
• Your credits and purchases: your balance, what you spent it on and what you own.

The words of a search, with no identity attached, are also turned into a form a computer can match against the catalogue, and that form is kept.

You hold the key, and the off switch

Your key is the only thing that connects you to anything on TALVEEON. Keep it private and nobody else can reach your profile, your history or your purchases. Lose it, and we cannot recover it for you, because we never knew who it belonged to.

From your Profile, you can destroy your identity. TALVEEON calls this the nuke. It cannot be undone, and it takes effect as soon as you confirm.

What the nuke removes

• The link between your key and everything recorded against it.
• Your profile and your recent search list.
• Your key. It stops working for good, even if someone finds it later.
• Your remaining credits, the videos you unlocked and the moments you saved. A destroyed key owns nothing.

What the nuke does not remove

Search records and the purchase ledger are kept, but no longer connected to any key or profile. They become anonymous history. The nuke cuts the thread rather than erasing every record, and we would rather tell you that than let you assume otherwise.

The mathematics

Every verification method trades certainty against exposure. A stronger check usually means knowing more about the person, and every extra fact held is a fact that can leak. TALVEEON chooses a single check made at a distance, designed so that we learn nothing about who passed it. What we keep is tied to a key only you hold, and only you can cut that tie.

Why we publish this

Privacy claims are easy to make and hard to check. By stating what we hold, what we never receive and what the nuke actually does, we give you the means to judge them. When the system changes, this page will change with it.
