Trust & Safety Statement

Last updated: 25th November 2025

Our Purpose

Tickornot exists to help people verify factual claims made in social media content, particularly TikTok videos. We believe the core problem online is not disagreement, but the erosion of shared facts. Our goal is to restore evidence-based context—without telling people what to think.

What Tickornot Is (and Is Not)

Tickornot is:

  • An independent, evidence-based fact-checking tool
  • A system that analyzes user-submitted public content
  • A platform that presents sources, context, and limitations

Tickornot is not:

  • A publisher of original claims
  • A political advocacy or persuasion tool
  • A provider of medical, legal, or financial advice
  • A social network or content amplification platform

Independence & Neutrality

Tickornot operates independently and does not accept:

  • Political funding
  • Editorial sponsorship
  • Paid influence over analysis

The same verification methodology is applied consistently across all topics and viewpoints. We do not rank or favor ideologies, narratives, or opinions.

Handling Misinformation & Sensitive Topics

Tickornot evaluates claims across a wide range of topics, including politics, health, science, and current events. To manage risk responsibly:

  • Claims are labeled using clear verdicts (e.g. Supported, Misleading, Unfounded)
  • All analyses are evidence-based and time-bound
  • Claims without reliable sources are explicitly marked as Unfounded
  • Context is provided to prevent misinterpretation or exaggeration

Tickornot does not endorse claims, even when evidence supports them.

AI Transparency & Limitations

Tickornot uses automated systems and artificial intelligence to assist with:

  • Claim extraction
  • Source discovery
  • Summarization and contextual analysis

We are transparent that:

  • AI outputs are not infallible
  • Evidence may be incomplete, conflicting, or updated over time
  • Outputs are informational only and not authoritative
  • No automated decisions produce legal or similarly significant effects for users.

User-Generated Content & Responsibility

All content analyzed by Tickornot is submitted voluntarily by users.

We do not:

  • Scrape private accounts or messages
  • Access social media logins
  • Monitor user behavior outside the app

Users are responsible for ensuring they have the right to submit content for analysis.

Abuse, Harassment & Defamation Safeguards

Tickornot is designed to reduce harm, not amplify it.

Safeguards include:

  • Analysis limited to public claims and content
  • Prohibition of harassment, targeting, or abuse
  • Evidence-focused framing rather than personal judgment
  • Clear contextual clarification to avoid defamatory interpretation

Privacy & Data Protection

Tickornot collects only the minimum data required to operate.

We:

  • Do not sell personal data
  • Do not run targeted advertising
  • Do not track users across apps or websites
  • Do not access private social media data

All data practices are disclosed transparently in our Privacy Policy.

Subscription Transparency

Tickornot offers optional paid subscriptions.

We ensure:

  • Clear pricing and feature disclosure
  • No hidden fees
  • Easy cancellation through platform tools
  • No manipulation or dark patterns

Our Commitment

Trust and safety are not features—they are foundational.

We are committed to:

  • Transparency
  • Independence
  • Evidence-based analysis
  • Continuous improvement and accountability
