Privacy Policy
How PledgeVault handles account data, public contributions, messages, and moderation records.
What we collect
PledgeVault may collect account details, profile settings, public contributions, votes, comments, messages, moderation records, audit history, device and session information, and usage data needed to operate the service.
How we use information
We use information to provide accounts, publish pledge records, support discussion, deliver messages, keep users signed in, prevent abuse, enforce rules, maintain audit trails, and improve reliability and safety.
Public contributions
Pledge posts, proofs, timelines, comments, votes, profile display details, and some moderation outcomes may be visible to other users or retained as part of the public accountability record.
Messages
Direct messages are intended for user-to-user communication. They are not public, but they may be processed, retained, or reviewed where needed for delivery, safety, abuse prevention, moderation, or legal compliance.
Moderation and audit data
Admin and moderator actions can create audit records so decisions remain accountable. These records may include who acted, when they acted, what changed, and the reason recorded for the action.
Cookies and sessions
PledgeVault uses essential cookies and similar session storage to keep users signed in, remember theme preferences, protect accounts, and keep the service working properly.
Sharing and disclosure
We do not sell personal information. Information may be shared where necessary to operate hosting and infrastructure, comply with law, protect users, investigate abuse, or preserve the integrity of pledge records.
Retention
Some information may be retained after account closure where needed for security, legal compliance, abuse prevention, moderation history, or the continuity of public-interest pledge records.
Your choices
You can update account and profile details available in the app. You can also stop using the service at any time, though some public records and audit entries may remain where retention is necessary.
Updates
This Privacy Policy may change as PledgeVault changes. Continued use after an update means the updated policy applies to your use of the service.
