# Privacy Notice How we collect, use, and protect your information. Last updated: September 4, 2026 ## Introduction This Privacy Notice ("Privacy Notice") governs the use, collection, and disclosure of information through the website located at [weir.ai](https://weir.ai) (the "Website"), the mobile application named "WEIR AI" (the "App"), and any other products and services that display or link to this Privacy Notice (collectively, our "Services"). Your privacy is important to us. Please take a moment to carefully review this Privacy Notice to understand how we treat information we learn about you from your visits to our Website, your use of our App, and any related services, including those of our third-party partners. This Privacy Notice was last updated on the date posted above. When this Privacy Notice uses the term "WEIR AI" it includes the owners and employees of WEIR p.b.c. (referred to as "WEIR AI", "we", "us", or "our"), a Delaware Corporation. ## Collection of Information ### Information You Provide to Us We collect information you provide directly to us. Depending on your use of our Services, such information may include the following: **Account Information:** We may collect information when you create an account, sign up for our products, download our App, or interact with our Services. For example, we may ask you to create an account by registering with your email address. You may be asked to provide your name, email address, and other information as well. **Biometric Information:** If you opt in by checking a box or clicking a button during the relevant account creation or identity confirmation step, and if you are a paid user, we may collect and use your Biometric Information in order to create a unique biometric identifier for you that is used to provide our Services and protect the integrity of the WEIR AI Content Identity Network. Biometric Information includes the information extracted from your photograph(s) (e.g., facial geometry or a vector/feature extraction) to create a face signature. You can learn more about how we collect and use Biometric Information [here](https://weir.ai/biometric). **Payment Information:** If you purchase our products and services, our payment processors may collect payment card information and other financial information, as necessary to complete your transactions with us. **Identity Verification Information:** If you participate in the WEIR AI Content Identity Network as a creator or rights holder and elect to verify your identity, you may be asked to provide personal information for verification, including name, date of birth, nationality, Social Security number (or equivalent), address information, and phone number. If you verify your identity, our identity verification partner takes a photograph of you (a "selfie") and compares it to your government-issued ID. We may keep a copy of that photograph, or a mathematical representation derived from it, so we can confirm later that the verified person is you and protect your account from impersonation. Anything we keep is stored privately, is not shown to you or to anyone else using the Services, and is not published. We do not routinely look at it. A small number of authorized WEIR AI staff can access it only in limited circumstances, such as investigating a suspected impersonation, resolving a support issue you raise, testing that the system works, or responding to a legal requirement, and every access is logged. We may keep it for as long as your account stays verified, and we delete it sooner where we no longer need it — if you reset your verification or delete your account, it is deleted with it. **Communication Information:** When you communicate with us, we may collect information about you and your communications with us, like when you sign up for our newsletter, participate in our surveys or contests, email us, chat with us through the chat function on our Website, apply for a job, submit or receive requests through our Services, or otherwise contact us. ### Government-Issued Identification Documents If you elect to participate as a creator or rights holder in the WEIR AI Content Identity Network, we require that you confirm your identity so that we can verify that your content is truly yours. We may collect and process information from your government-issued ID in order to authenticate you for our Services. Such information may include your first name, last name, date of birth, address, photo, and document type and number. ### Information We Collect Automatically When you use or access our Website, App, or other Services, we may automatically collect certain information, including: **Internet Activity:** We automatically collect certain information when you access or use our Website, including your Internet Protocol (IP) address (which we may associate with your domain name or that of your Internet access provider or wireless carrier, and the location of your server), platform type, browser type and language, referring and exit pages and URLs, the date and time of your visit, and information about how you interact with our Services, including the clickstream and search terms you entered to our Website, the pages or screens you view, and how long you spend on a page or screen. **Cookies and Similar Tracking Technologies:** We may use cookies (small text files) and similar tracking technologies to operate and administer our Services, make it easier for you to use our Services, and make your use of our Services more enjoyable.
