Privacy & Security Covenant

I. The Sanctity of Your Words

At Time Machine Vault (TMV), we believe your privacy is not just a policy, but a sacred trust. Your capsules are end-to-end encrypted with military-grade AES-256 protocols. This means that from the moment you seal a message, only you and eventually your recipient possess the keys to read it. Not even TMV staff can access the content of your vault.

II. Data We Collect

To provide our services, we collect minimal data:

• Identity: Name and email address used for authentication and account security.
• Guardian/Designee Info: Contact details for those you appoint to help verify your vault status.
• Encrypted Payload: We store your encrypted messages, but our system cannot "see" inside them.
• Verification Meta: Basic logs of login activity and payment history to maintain vault continuity.

III. Guardian & Recipient Privacy

Information regarding your recipients and guardians is stored with the same level of security. Recipients are never notified of a capsule's existence until the moment of delivery, ensuring your privacy remains intact during your lifetime. Guardians are notified only of their role and are contacted only when verification is required.

IV. Third-Party Policy

We do not sell, trade, or share your data with advertisers or third parties. Your information is used exclusively for the maintenance and eventual fulfillment of your legacy vault.

V. Your Right to Erasure

You maintain full control over your vault. At any time prior to your passing, you may edit or delete your capsules, remove guardians, or choose to delete your entire vault and all associated data permanently.
