ScamVault

Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2026-06-06

1. Who we are

ScamVault is a community-driven, evidence-based investigation platform. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have.

2. Information we collect

  • Account data: email, username, display name, avatar, and authentication identifiers.
  • Content you submit: reports, evidence files, indicators (wallets, domains, handles), comments, victim reports, and appeals.
  • Contact data: messages you send through our contact form.
  • Technical data: basic logs needed to keep the service running and secure.

3. How we use your information

  • To operate ScamVault and display investigations.
  • To verify submitted evidence and moderate content.
  • To communicate with you about your reports, appeals, or account.
  • To detect abuse, fraud, and protect the integrity of the platform.

4. Public vs. private content

Investigations, comments, and indicators are public by design. Evidence files are stored privately and only released to moderators and, when verified, summarized publicly. Your email is never shown publicly.

5. Data sharing

We do not sell your personal data. We may share information with law enforcement when required by law or to protect victims from ongoing harm.

6. Data retention

Investigation content is retained indefinitely as part of the public record. You may request deletion of your account; submitted public evidence may remain attributed to "anonymous user".

7. Your rights

You may access, correct, export, or request deletion of your personal data by contacting us. Subjects of an investigation may request a revalidation.

8. Security

We use industry-standard practices (encrypted storage, row-level security, signed URLs for private files). No system is perfectly secure — please use a strong, unique password.

9. Children

ScamVault is not directed at children under 16 and we do not knowingly collect data from them.

10. Changes

We may update this policy. Material changes will be announced on the site.
