At ActuallyMe, we are committed to protecting your privacy and safeguarding your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and what choices you have when using our website and services.
Information We Collect
Information We Collect
We collect personal information that you voluntarily provide through forms or communication, such as your name, email address, and any information you choose to share when reaching out to us. We also collect limited technical data (such as browser type and device information) to help us improve website functionality.
When you create a certificate using ActuallyMe, we additionally store:
The text you type during the session. This text is what your certificate verifies, and we store it so that your verification link can display and confirm it. It is currently stored in readable form. Please do not enter information you would not be comfortable having stored, including private, confidential, or sensitive personal details. We plan to introduce encryption that prevents even us from reading stored content in a future release.
The timing of your keystrokes, including any corrections, so that the certificate can show how the writing happened.
A timestamp recording when the certificate was created.
A device identifier and a session identifier, used to organise and look up your certificate.
We do not currently collect biometric data through this website. If and when our hardware product introduces fingerprint or other biometric verification, this policy will be updated before that feature is available.

How We Use Your Information
How We Use Your Information
The information you provide allows us to communicate with you, respond to inquiries, and deliver our services effectively. It may also be used to improve our website or send occasional updates if you have opted in.
Certificate data (the text you type, the keystroke timing, the timestamp, and the identifiers above) is used solely to generate your certificate and to make your verification link work. We do not analyse the content of what you write for any other purpose, and we do not use it to train models.
We do not sell or rent your information to third parties, and we do not use your data for advertising or behavioural targeting.

Data Storage & Security
Data Storage & Security
Your data is stored on infrastructure provided by Supabase, our database and hosting provider. We restrict access to authorised team members only and apply standard security measures, including access controls, to protect your information from unauthorised access, disclosure, or alteration.
As noted above, the text you type is currently stored in readable form. While access is restricted, you should treat ActuallyMe as you would any early-stage online service and avoid entering anything truly sensitive until our planned encryption update is in place.
Despite our efforts, no online platform is entirely risk-free. If a data breach ever occurs, we will notify affected individuals as required by law.
We currently retain certificate data indefinitely so that your verification link remains active over time. You can request deletion of any certificate at any time by contacting us with the session identifier shown on your verification link.
We are working on tiered retention, where free certificates will expire after a set period and paid plans will offer longer-lasting links. This policy will be updated before that change takes effect.

How do I know if ActuallyMe is right for me?
If you write things that people need to trust, articles, legal documents, exam answers, client correspondence, then being able to show a real person typed them, by hand, in one sitting, is worth having. If your work could be quietly replaced with pasted or generated text and you'd have no way to show otherwise, this is for you.

What exactly gets signed?
What exactly gets signed?
Every keystroke, as you type it. We cryptographically sign the content, the timing, and your verified identity, then bundle it into a certificate. The result is a tamper-evident record that a specific verified person typed specific words at a specific moment.
Does this prove a human wrote it, or that AI didn't?
Does this prove a human wrote it, or that AI didn't?
It proves a real person physically typed the content, by hand, rather than pasting or auto-generating it. What it does not do is judge where the ideas came from. We're deliberate about this: actually.me certifies manual entry by a person, not original authorship. That alone is something pasted or generated text cannot show, and for most uses it's exactly what matters.
Could someone just copy text from an AI and type it out by hand?
Could someone just copy text from an AI and type it out by hand?
In principle, yes, and we'd rather say so plainly than pretend otherwise. ActuallyMe proves the typing was manually done, not that the ideas originated in their head. We add signals that make transcription harder to pass off as composition, but we don't claim to read minds. If a use case needs more than verified manual entry, we'll tell you straight.
Do I need special hardware, or does it work on my current devices?
Do I need special hardware, or does it work on my current devices?
Right now, ActuallyMe runs as software on the devices you already use, and gets you a verified link straight away. We're also developing a dedicated keyboard, with a secure enclave and fingerprint scanner, for the higher-assurance use cases like notary, legal, and compliance work where the record needs to hold up under the closest scrutiny. The hardware is in active development, and we'll share more as it gets closer.
What does the person receiving my work actually see?
What does the person receiving my work actually see?
A link. They click it and see a certificate: a replay of the writing as it happened, a timestamp, and confirmation the content matches and was typed by your verified identity. No technical knowledge needed, the same way nobody needs to understand encryption to trust a DocuSign envelope.
Can the certificate be tampered with after the fact?
Can the certificate be tampered with after the fact?
The certificate records exactly what was typed. When you receive someone's work, you can check it against their ActuallyMe link, if even one character differs from what's on record, you'll see it doesn't match. Nobody can quietly alter the text and keep a valid certificate, because the altered version simply won't line up with the one that was signed.
