Terms of Service

SelfCheck.email provides cryptographic verification of email messages. Reports state whether the signed parts of an email have changed since signing.

SelfCheck does not establish that the content is true, that a specific person sent the message, or that unsigned parts are unchanged.

The original file is deleted after processing. Only hashes, metadata, and the PDF report are retained for the period specified by your plan.

3.1 Owner responsibilities

• You are responsible for content you store and share
• You must have the right to share the email
• You must not use Vault for illegal content, harassment, phishing, or impersonation
• You communicate the PIN to recipients yourself, outside SelfCheck

3.2 Retention and deletion

• You choose retention: 30 / 90 / 365 days
• You can delete at any time (immediate, with 8-second undo)
• After expiry: 14-day grace period, then physical deletion
• Only the SHA-256 hash remains for the audit trail

3.3 Abuse and takedown

• Recipients can report content via the abuse form
• We may freeze any vault item pending investigation
• We will remove content that violates these terms or applicable law
• Repeated violations may result in account suspension

You may not use SelfCheck to facilitate harassment, stalking, or any unlawful surveillance. Automated bulk verification exceeding plan limits is prohibited.

The service is provided "as is". Verification reports state technical facts about cryptographic signatures — they are not legal opinions. Our total liability is limited to the fees paid in the 12 months preceding the claim.

We may update these terms with 30 days' notice via email to registered users. Continued use after the notice period constitutes acceptance.

These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Disputes shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.
