Verbatim developer documentation

The terms you signed off on are not the terms anymore.

Verbatim captures what AI vendors publish about how they handle customer data, quotes it exactly, and diffs captures over time. Operated by Junior Williams Consulting Inc. (Toronto). Support: jr@trustcyber.ca. Also available as Markdown: /docs.md.

Basics

What a packet answers

  1. training_use — Do they train their models on your data?
  2. retention — How long do they keep your data?
  3. deletion — What happens when you ask them to delete it?
  4. zero_data_retention — Is ZDR available, on what conditions?
  5. processing_regions — Where is your data processed?
  6. subprocessors — Who else touches it?

Every answer is an exact quote with source URL and capture date. Where a vendor does not answer, the packet says NOT_SPECIFIED.

Tools

verbatim_get_historyvendor_slugArchive history: dated passage changes from Wayback Machine captures, quarterly from 2023, labelled persistent or provisional$0.05 USD

Archive history exists because vendors changed their terms long before Verbatim's first capture: one archived capture per vendor source per quarter (2023 onward), run through the same extractor and differ as the live captures. A persistent change still held in the following quarter's capture; provisional changes are reported separately and never mixed into the persistent count. Quarterly archived packets carry per-source archive timestamps and archive URLs, so every historical quote can be checked against the archive itself.

These are the research-backed agent prices enacted 2026-10-23, replacing the original $5 / $12 guess: list free, packet $0.10, comparison $0.05 (charged only when a comparison actually ran). On the Apify Actor the same prices apply with platform usage included, plus an all-46-vendors bundle at $2.99 per run; failed or unknown-vendor runs are not charged. The $149 CAD human Evidence Pack is a separate product and is unchanged. Intended rates apply when Verbatim is listed in Composio Instant (toolkit CUSTOM_VERBATIM). Direct REST/MCP calls are open during the pilot.

Example packet excerpt (real data)

Anthropic, Claude (Commercial / API), captured 2026-10-18, dimension deletion:

H.1.b. delete all copies of Customer Data (including Customer Personal Data) processed by Anthropic or any Subprocessors, except to the extent (i) Applicable Data Protection Laws or other applicable legal or regulatory requirements requires storage of the Customer Data, (ii) retention of the Customer Data by Anthropic is necessary to resolve a dispute between the parties, or (iii) retention of the Customer Data is necessary to combat harmful use of the Services.

Source: https://www.anthropic.com/legal/data-processing-addendum. The same packet reports zero_data_retention and processing_regions as NOT_SPECIFIED.

Compare behaviour

Compare diffs the two most recent dated captures. It names both dates and a change count, with before/after quotes per changed dimension. With fewer than two captures it returns compared: false and the dates that exist. A comparison is never fabricated from a single capture.

Errors

Verbatim is evidence, not legal advice, not a certification, and not a guarantee of vendor behaviour. Human spot-reviewed packs: $149 CAD via Square.
