Terms of Use
Last updated: September 2026 · Version 1.2
These Terms of Service apply to individual users and partner organisations using the VerifyBlind mobile application, the verifyblind.com website, and related services provided by VerifyBlind. By using the service you agree to these Terms.
1. Scope of Service
VerifyBlind is an identity verification platform that enables holders of a Turkish National ID Card to prove their identity to third parties without sharing personal data.
- · Legal transactions or operations requiring notarial approval
- · Replacement of an official identity document
- · Documents other than the Turkish National ID Card (at this time)
- · Users who have not completed 15 years of age
- · Turkish ID cards with no photo on the chip (no face comparison is possible)
On the age limit: Verification compares your face with the photo on your Turkish ID Card's chip, an operation that requires processing biometric data. Because the applicable legislation does not expressly settle who may give valid approval for that processing on behalf of a person under fifteen, and because parental or guardian authority cannot be established from an ID card, the Service is offered to users who have completed fifteen years of age.
2. Conditions of Use
Individual Users
- ·You may only use the app with your own Turkish National ID Card.
- ·Performing verification on behalf of another person is strictly prohibited.
- ·Attempting to bypass security mechanisms (liveness test, NFC verification) is prohibited.
- ·You may only use the app for lawful purposes.
Partner Organisations
- ·Information provided during registration must be accurate and up to date.
- ·Your API key is yours alone; you assume responsibility if you share it.
- ·You may only use verification results for the purposes stated in your registration form.
- ·You may not use results for marketing, profiling, or automated decision-making.
- ·When a user withdraws consent (revoke), you are required under KVKK Art. 7 to immediately invalidate the relevant records and process VerifyBlind revoke notifications.
3. Prohibited Use
| Action | Description |
|---|---|
| Identity fraud | Attempting to verify on behalf of another person |
| Re-identification | Attempting to identify a person using verification results |
| System abuse | Researching or exploiting security vulnerabilities |
| Automated attacks | Bots, scraping, brute-force attacks |
| Service disruption | DoS/DDoS attacks or excessive API usage |
| Reverse engineering | Reverse engineering the app's or API's encryption keys |
4. Fees, Payment and Refunds
This section applies to partner organisations. VerifyBlind is entirely free for individual users.
- ·Each account receives the first 2,000 verifications per month free. The free quota does not roll over at month end.
- ·Each piece of information you request is one verification. If several pieces are requested within the same QR, each counts as a separate verification. Only successfully completed verifications are charged; failed verifications are free.
- ·Once the free quota is exceeded, verifications are drawn from the balance you have pre-loaded to your account (prepaid). There is no post-paid or credit usage. The minimum top-up amount for card payments is ₺1,000; please contact us for lower amounts.
- ·The unit price per verification is anchored to 20 US cents. Its TRY equivalent is calculated on the 1st of each month against the Central Bank of Türkiye (TCMB) selling rate and rounded up to the nearest whole lira; if the result is unchanged from the previous price, the price does not change. The current price is shown in the partner portal. If the exchange rate falls, the price falls by the same formula.
- ·Loaded balance does not expire.
- ·For single top-ups of ₺10,000 or more, a bonus balance equal to 10% of the loaded amount is added. Bonus balance is non-refundable under any circumstances.
- ·Refunds: Unused balance is non-refundable. Refunds are issued only in cases of double charging or technical error attributable to VerifyBlind. Any refund is calculated solely on the cash amount paid; promotional/bonus balances are excluded from refunds.
5. Limitation of Liability
The service is provided "as is." VerifyBlind does not guarantee that the service will operate without interruption, that biometric results will be 100% accurate, or that it will be compatible with every device.
6. Account Termination
Individual users: App → Settings → Delete My Data
Partner organisations: Notify kvkk@verifyblind.com
In the event of a breach of these Terms or a security threat, accounts may be suspended without prior notice.
7. Changes
Material changes to these Terms will be notified by in-app notification at least 15 days before the effective date. If you do not accept the changes, you may close your account.
8. Governing Law
These Terms are governed by Turkish Law. Disputes shall be subject to the Istanbul Courts and Execution Offices. For data processing disputes, you may also apply to the Turkish Personal Data Protection Authority (kvkk.gov.tr).
