Terms of Use & Privacy Policy

Terms of Use

Last updated: June 1, 2026

Acceptable use

You agree to use SPIA only for lawful purposes and in a way that does not infringe the rights of others or restrict their use of the service. You must not upload content that is illegal, that you do not have the right to submit, or that is intended to harass, exploit, or harm anyone. You must not attempt to probe, disrupt, or bypass our systems, security measures, or rate limits, or use SPIA to build competing services through scraping or automated abuse unless we give you written permission.

No warranties

SPIA is provided “as-is” and “as-available” without warranties of any kind, either express or implied. We do not guarantee absolute accuracy of detection results. Detection scores are estimates based on third-party AI models and may produce false positives or false negatives. Users are responsible for independently verifying important content.

No guarantee of results

SPIA uses automated models to estimate the likelihood that media is AI-generated or synthetic. Results are estimates only and are not guaranteed to be accurate. There can be false positives, false negatives, and uncertain cases. Output may depend on file quality, format, length (for video), and limitations of the underlying detection technology. SPIA is not a substitute for professional judgment, legal advice, forensic analysis, or official certification. You should treat every result as indicative, not definitive.

Accounts

To access certain features, you must create an account with a valid email address and accept these terms. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your credentials and for all activity under your account. You must be at least 13 years old to use SPIA. If you are under 18, you confirm that you use SPIA with the consent of a parent or legal guardian. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms or applicable law.

Subscription plans and billing

SPIA offers a free plan and paid subscription plans (Pro and SPY). Current pricing is shown on the website and is denominated in USD. Plan limits (image verifications and video seconds per month) are also shown on the website.

Subscriptions are billed monthly in advance and renew automatically at the start of each billing cycle until you cancel. Payments are processed by Stripe; SPIA does not store your full card details.

By subscribing you authorize Stripe to charge your payment method for the recurring fee until cancellation. If a payment fails, we may retry the charge and, after a reasonable grace period, suspend or downgrade your subscription.

We may change subscription prices, plan limits or features. Material changes will be communicated by email or through the website with reasonable advance notice; changes apply on your next billing cycle. If you do not accept a change you may cancel before it takes effect.

Cancellation and refunds

You can cancel your subscription at any time from your account or by contacting us. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing cycle; you keep access to your paid plan until that date and you will not be charged again.

Subscription fees are non-refundable. We do not provide prorated refunds for partial months, unused features or unused quota, except where required by applicable law. If a charge was made by clear technical error (for example, a double charge), we will refund it.

We may terminate or suspend your subscription if you breach these Terms, abuse the service, attempt fraud or chargebacks, or fail to pay. In those cases, no refund is owed.

Taxes and invoicing (CFDI)

Prices shown on the website are in USD and, where applicable, may not include taxes. Taxes such as IVA (Mexican value-added tax) are applied where legally required.

If you require a Mexican tax invoice (CFDI), you can request it by contacting spiaverify@gmail.com and providing your RFC, fiscal name, and tax regime, within the same month of the charge, in accordance with current SAT rules.

Pay-as-you-go (PayG) — coming soon

Additional verifications beyond your monthly plan limit (Pay-as-you-go) will be available in the future, exclusively for active paid subscribers. PayG packs are consumed on use, non-transferable and non-refundable once purchased, even if not fully consumed. Specific terms will be presented at the time of purchase.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for loss of profits, data, goodwill, or business, arising from your use of SPIA or reliance on its results. Our total liability for any claim related to the service shall not exceed the amount you paid us for the service in the twelve months before the claim (or, if you have not paid us, zero), except where the law does not allow such limitations.

Indemnification

By using SPIA, you agree that SPIA, its operators, and affiliates shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from decisions, actions, or omissions made based on SPIA’s verification results. You agree to use the service at your own risk and to hold SPIA harmless from any claims arising from your use of the verification results.

Governing law and jurisdiction

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Mexico. Any disputes arising from or related to these Terms or the use of SPIA shall be resolved exclusively in the courts of Hermosillo, Sonora, Mexico.

Changes

We may update these Terms of Use from time to time. Continued use of SPIA after changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated terms where permitted by law.

Privacy Policy / Aviso de Privacidad

Last updated: June 1, 2026

Who is responsible for your data

The data controller (responsable del tratamiento de datos personales) is Joel García Bustamante, Persona Física con Actividad Empresarial under the Régimen Simplificado de Confianza (RESICO), RFC GABJ040817N63, based in Hermosillo, Sonora, Mexico. For privacy and ARCO requests, contact spiaverify@gmail.com.

What we collect

When you use SPIA we may process:

• Account data: email address, password (stored as a salted hash), name or username if provided, date of birth (used to confirm minimum age and for the optional birthday card), Google account identifier if you sign in with Google.
• Verification content: the images and videos you upload or paste in order to run AI-detection analysis.
• Verification metadata: timestamps, detection result, plan tier, file type and similar technical attributes.
• Billing data: subscription tier, Stripe customer and subscription identifiers. Card numbers and full payment details are processed and stored by Stripe, not by SPIA.
• Technical data: server logs, approximate IP, browser, and error diagnostics, used to operate and protect the service.

Why we use your data (purposes)

Primary purposes (required to provide the service):

• Authenticate users and operate accounts.
• Run AI-detection analysis on the media you submit.
• Generate and host public verification URLs (/v/{id}).
• Process subscription payments and apply your plan limits.
• Prevent fraud, abuse and protect the security of the service.
• Comply with applicable Mexican law (tax, accounting, anti-fraud).

Secondary purposes (not required, you may oppose them at any time):

• Improving SPIA’s accuracy and user experience based on aggregated, anonymized usage patterns.
• Sending non-marketing service notifications (for example, important account or security messages).

How long we keep your data

• Original uploaded files are not retained after processing. Only the verification metadata and the public verification record are stored.
• Public verification records (/v/{id}) and their associated metadata are retained indefinitely as part of the public verifiability of SPIA.
• Account data is retained while your account is active and for a reasonable period after deletion, sufficient to meet tax, accounting and anti-fraud obligations under Mexican law.
• Billing records related to subscriptions are retained for the period required by Mexican tax law.

Third parties and transfers

To operate SPIA we share strictly necessary data with the following processors / providers, under their own privacy and security commitments:

• Stripe (payment processing).
• Hive AI (AI-detection analysis of submitted media).
• Cloudflare (anti-abuse / Turnstile).
• Google (only if you sign in with Google OAuth).
• Resend (transactional email such as verification, password recovery).
• Railway and the underlying hosting / database infrastructure.

We do not sell your personal data, your uploads or your verification history to third parties, and we do not use them for third-party advertising profiles.

Your ARCO rights

Under Mexican law, you have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you.
• Rectify inaccurate or incomplete data.
• Cancel (delete) your data, subject to legal retention requirements.
• Oppose certain uses of your data, especially for secondary purposes.
• Revoke any consent you have given.
• Limit the use or disclosure of your data.

To exercise any of these rights, write to spiaverify@gmail.com from the email associated with your account, indicating which right you wish to exercise and any reasonable detail needed to attend to the request. We will respond within the time frames established by applicable law.

You may also delete your account directly from your profile page, which will anonymize your identifiable data while preserving the public verification history required by the nature of the service.

Cookies and similar technologies

SPIA uses strictly necessary cookies and similar technologies to keep you signed in and to operate basic security features (for example, CSRF and session management). We do not use third-party advertising cookies. If we introduce non-essential analytics or tracking in the future, we will request your consent in accordance with applicable law and update this Privacy Policy.

Security

We apply reasonable administrative, technical and physical safeguards to protect your data, including password hashing, encrypted connections (HTTPS), access controls, and rate limiting. No system is perfectly secure; you are also responsible for keeping your credentials safe.

Children

SPIA is not directed to children under 13. If we become aware that we have collected personal data from a child under 13, we will delete it. Users under 18 must use SPIA with the consent of a parent or legal guardian.

Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make material changes we will update the “Last updated” date and, where appropriate, notify you through the service or by email. Continued use of SPIA after the changes implies acceptance, where permitted by law.
