What TruVault Does
TruVault allows survivors to submit a private, verified report about a person who has harmed them. Reports are encrypted before they leave your device and are never made public. If another verified reporter submits a report about the same person, both reporters are notified privately — no details are ever shared between them, only the fact that they are not alone.
- Submit a private, encrypted report with verified identity.
- Provide identifiers — phone number, Instagram handle, or email — for the person who harmed you.
- Receive a private notification if another verified report matches the same identifier.
- Access, manage, and withdraw your own reports at any time.
How Reports Are Protected
Privacy is not an afterthought — it is the architecture. Every part of the system is designed to protect the reporter, not expose them.
- Your report is sealed before it leaves your device. By the time it reaches our servers, it is locked — only you can open it, and only through your verified identity.
- The identifiers you provide — phone numbers, social media handles, email addresses — are stored in a transformed form. We can detect if two reports refer to the same person, but we cannot read, search, or recover the original value.
- Your own contact details used for verification are never stored in a readable form. We confirm you are real, then keep only what is necessary.
- Reports are never made public, browsable, or visible to the reported person.
- No one can access another person's reports. Each reporter sees only their own submissions.
What TruVault Is Not
TruVault is an informational tool for personal safety decisions. It is important to understand its boundaries.
- Not a law enforcement body — reports are private records, not official complaints or criminal evidence.
- Not an adjudication system — we do not determine guilt, investigate allegations, or verify every claim.
- Not an anonymous platform — verified identity is required to deter false and malicious submissions.
- Not a public directory — there are no public profiles, no searchable names, and no exposed identities.
Accountability Principles
TruVault holds both the platform and its users to a clear standard of responsibility. The system is designed to be used in good faith.
- Every submission requires verified email and phone number. Anonymous reports are not accepted.
- Reporters declare under a legal notice that their report is truthful to the best of their knowledge.
- Reporters may withdraw their submission at any time from the My Reports page.
- Submitting a knowingly false report is a misuse of this platform and may have legal consequences.
