About this plugin
The Vurl Evidence Badge puts a small, unobtrusive button on your site. A reader
who clicks it gets a short menu of tools for the page they are on:
- Check a claim
- Audit this page’s citations
- Create a citation
- Learn how Vurl works
That is the whole feature. No account, no dashboard, no tracking.
What this badge is not
This plugin does not display a trust mark, a seal, or a score. It will never
say “Vurl Verified”, “Factually verified”, “Trusted by Vurl”, “Accuracy
certified”, or anything similar, because Vurl does not produce such a judgement.
Every panel the badge opens carries this line:
>
Vurl shows what cited sources say. It does not certify this publisher or
determine whether every statement is true.
Vurl reads a page and reports what it says about a specific claim. That is
evidence a reader can check. It is not a verdict on a publisher, and this plugin
will not present it as one.
Privacy
This plugin collects nothing.
- It stores one option row containing your badge settings. Nothing else.
- It reads no WordPress user data, no post content and no visitor data.
- It sets no cookies and uses no local storage.
- It sends no analytics, no referrer and no page information automatically.
The badge script is bundled inside the plugin and loaded locally. It makes
no network request until a reader opens the badge. When a reader
chooses a tool, the address of the page they are on is included in the link they
followed, so that Vurl can act on that page. That is the only time any
information about your page leaves the reader’s browser.
If you list evidence passport IDs in the settings, the badge fetches a public
summary of those passports from Vurl when a reader opens the panel. That request
carries no cookies and no referrer.
