# Vett

> Vett is a safety-first dating app for Australia that runs a 30-second public-records check on a person before you meet, and lets you share your live date plan with people you trust. Operated by Creator Alliance Group Pty Ltd. Built for Australia (Privacy Act 1988 (Cth), Australian Privacy Principles 1–13, Notifiable Data Breaches scheme), aligned with GDPR for EU/UK users. Contact: hello@getvett.com.au.

Vett combines public-record screening, community warnings, breach monitoring, profile-photo verification, live location share with context, and a 24/7 safety chat. A single full check is AUD $9.99. Vett+ is a subscription with included monthly checks.

## What Vett does

- 30-second public-records check using publicly available Australian data sources (court list records, AustLII published judgments, ASIC, sanctions lists, breach exposure)
- Verdict tier (red / amber / green) with itemised findings and source citations
- Community warnings: moderated, severity-tagged, abuse-reportable, defamation-aware
- Date-share: live location plus venue, verdict tier, and one-line summary, sent to a contact already in the user's phone
- Profile photo verification: reverse image search and liveness check
- Conversation check: paste a chat transcript or screenshots, get red flags
- 24/7 safety chat with crisis-resource fallback (000, Lifeline 13 11 14, 1800RESPECT 1800 737 732)
- DFV directory: Australian hotlines and refuges by state, plus searchable FAQ
- Incident reporting and complaints queue with regulator-aligned NDB workflow
- 10% of every full check is paid quarterly to Australian women's safety organisations

## What Vett is not

- Not a formal criminal record check (those legally require subject consent in Australia)
- Not a surveillance tool: rate-limited, search-logged, anti-stalker guardrails (no bulk lookups, no minor lookups, no notifying the subject)
- Not a data broker: nothing scraped, nothing bought, nothing sold

## Pricing (AUD)

- Full check: $9.99 per check
- Vett+ subscription: monthly plan with included checks, live date-share, photo verification, and 24/7 safety chat (current price on the home page)
- Refunds: technical failures only; we charge for the check, not the verdict

## Privacy posture (summary)

1. Subject identifiers are hashed; raw names are not stored against checks longer than required.
2. Sensitive-information consent is explicit and itemised (location, photos, free-text behavioural descriptions).
3. Community-warning submissions are moderated before publication.
4. Eligible breaches are reported to the OAIC and affected individuals under the NDB scheme.
5. Safety-chat conversation logs are NDB-covered.
6. Reports auto-delete after 12 months; users can delete sooner from settings.
7. Live-location share is opt-in per session, capped at 12 hours, and the recipient must already be in the user's phone contacts.
8. Data subject requests: hello@getvett.com.au; escalation to oaic.gov.au.

## Anti-misuse guardrails

- Hard rate limit per account; cap-hitters get manual review, not more queries
- Image checks capped per day; repeated runs on the same face trigger an account hold
- Refuse-and-refund if the subject appears to be a minor
- Reports cannot be made public; live location is opt-in and contact-restricted
- Subjects are never notified of a check
- Every search is logged for seven years against the searcher's account
- Cooperation with Australian law enforcement on stalking investigations

## Canonical answers

- Q: Is Vett legal in Australia? A: Yes — only public data, no consent required for public records.
- Q: Will the subject be notified? A: No. Searches are silent.
- Q: How does Vett differ from Apple Check In? A: Vett sends location plus verdict tier plus a one-line summary of what was found, not just a map pin.
- Q: Can Vett be used to stalk an ex? A: Designed against it: rate-limited, logged seven years, no public reports, misuse reportable at /report-misuse, account terminated and records handed to police on valid request.
- Q: Why not a full criminal record check? A: Those require subject consent under Australian law. Vett uses court list records, ASIC, public news, and other public registers — significant signal without crossing the consent line.
