Most systems that claim to “verify” media do so by keeping copies. That approach creates long-term privacy, security, and liability risks.
Verified, Not Stored™ separates verification from retention. Record integrity is preserved. Originals are not.
What gets recorded
At capture time, a cryptographic fingerprint (hash) is generated along with a trusted timestamp and contextual metadata. This records when and how the media existed — without requiring the original file later.
What does not get retained
Original images and videos are deleted after the retention window. The record remains independently reviewable.
Why this matters
- —Reduces breach exposure
- —Lowers compliance burden
- —Prevents misuse of sensitive media
- —Aligns with data minimization laws
In audits, disputes, or investigations, the record can be reviewed without exposing private content.
