Privacy Policy

last updated 2026-07-12

What we collect

You sign in with GitHub or Google. From your OAuth provider we receive and store your verified email address, display name, avatar URL, and provider account ID; we use them for sign-in, account recovery, and service notices — nothing else. Your public handle is chosen by you. Your pledges, stakes, specs and verification runs are recorded against your handle on public ledgers — that is the product, not a side effect. Your email and real name are never shown on ledgers.

Payments

Credit purchases are processed by Polar (our merchant of record). Polar collects and controls your card and billing details under its own privacy policy; we never see your card number. We store only the credit amounts credited to your balance.

What we do not do

No ad trackers, no analytics beyond aggregate request logs, no sale of data, no sharing with third parties beyond the processors named above (OAuth provider, Polar, and our hosting/database providers). Session cookies are HttpOnly and used only to keep you signed in.

Public by design

Ledger entries are permanent and public. Choose your handle accordingly. Account deletion removes your credentials; ledger history remains, attributed to the (now unclaimable) handle, because escrow history must stay auditable.
