DateVet is a photo-verification tool for dating profiles. Met a match who seems a little too perfect? Upload their photo (a screenshot, a picture they sent you, or anyone you want to look into) and DateVet runs it through a stack of checks. A few seconds later you get a clear verdict, a confidence score, and the evidence to back it up. WHAT DATEVET CHECKS Reverse image search: finds the other places a photo has surfaced online, from stolen-photo catalogs to celebrity news to other social profiles. AI and image-manipulation detection: flags photos that were generated or altered by AI. Public figure matching: tells you when a profile is borrowing photos of a celebrity or other public figure. Metadata inspection: reads the photo's EXIF data for signs of AI origin or commercial reuse. PRIVACY FIRST Your photos are deleted from our storage the moment a scan finishes, usually within seconds. DateVet does not run facial recognition and does not build or store biometric templates. Only the text results (verdict, confidence, matching links) stay in your private account, so you can look back through your scan history. Close your account and it all goes with it. The full Privacy Policy is available in the app. HONEST ABOUT LIMITS No catfish-detection tool catches everything. DateVet can miss photos that haven't been indexed on the public web yet, and it can flag real public figures who happen to date online. Treat every verdict as a probability, not a final answer. When it really matters, confirm it yourself. A video call, or a fresh photo of the person in a pose you pick, is still the best way to know who you're talking to. SUBSCRIPTIONS AND CREDITS New users get free photo checks to try the service. After that, you can buy more scans as one-time credit packs, or sign up for a monthly plan. Monthly subscriptions renew at the price shown in the app unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel anytime in your Apple ID account settings. NOT AVAILABLE EVERYWHERE DateVet is not currently offered in Illinois, Quebec, the EU, Switzerland, Brazil, Vietnam, South Korea, or China, because of local biometric privacy and data protection laws. Users in Illinois, Texas, and Washington need the subject's consent before scanning someone else's photo. CONTACT privacy@donglawgroup.com Operated by Dong Holdings LLC.
