THE VAULT ($VLT) — THEVAULTVLT.COM
This Privacy Policy describes how The Vault ($VLT) ("The Vault," "we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and handles information when you access or use our website at thevaultvlt.com, including The Lobby community chat, The Board governance interface, and the Trading Desk (collectively, the "Services").
By using the Services, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with this policy, please do not use the Services.
When you connect a Solana wallet (Phantom, Solflare, or compatible) to access the Services, we record your public wallet address. Your private key is never requested, transmitted to, or stored by our servers at any point. Wallet authentication is performed entirely on your device via your wallet application.
If you participate in The Lobby chat, we store the username you select, any avatar image you upload, and any X (Twitter) account handle you choose to link to your profile. This information is stored on our server and associated with your wallet address.
Messages you send in The Lobby, votes you cast in The Board, and direct messages you exchange with other users are stored on our server, associated with your wallet address and username.
We collect anonymized, aggregated usage data including page views, session counts, and general geographic region via self-hosted analytics software (Umami). This data contains no personally identifiable information and is not linked to your wallet address. We do not use third-party advertising analytics.
All $VLT token transactions, floor declarations, burns, and governance actions executed by Guardian are permanently recorded on the Solana blockchain. This data is public by the nature of blockchain technology and is not controlled by us.
We use the information we collect solely to:
We do not sell, rent, share, or disclose your information to third parties for any commercial purpose. We do not use your information for targeted advertising.
Your data is stored on a dedicated server hosted by DigitalOcean. Access to this server is restricted to the project operator and protected by SSH key authentication and two-factor authentication. We take reasonable technical measures to protect your data from unauthorized access, alteration, or disclosure.
No method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we take reasonable precautions, we cannot guarantee absolute security of your data.
We retain your account information and chat history for as long as the Services are operational. If you wish to have your data deleted, contact us via the address in Section 9. We will delete your username, avatar, X account link, and chat history within a reasonable time. Your wallet address and on-chain transaction history cannot be deleted as they are recorded permanently on the Solana blockchain.
The Services use session tokens stored in your browser's sessionStorage to maintain your login state during a session. These tokens expire automatically and are not used for cross-site tracking. We do not use persistent tracking cookies. Our analytics software (Umami) is cookieless and does not track you across sessions or websites.
The Services interact with the following third parties in the course of normal operation:
We do not share your personal information with these services beyond what is technically necessary for their operation. Each of these services operates under its own privacy policy.
The Services are not directed at or intended for use by individuals under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors. If you believe a minor has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will take steps to delete it.
Questions, data deletion requests, or other privacy-related inquiries may be directed to the project operator via the X account @TheVaultVLT or through The Lobby community chat at thevaultvlt.com/chat.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted at thevaultvlt.com/legal with an updated effective date. Your continued use of the Services after any change constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy.
By accessing or using The Vault ($VLT) website at thevaultvlt.com, including The Lobby, The Board, the Trading Desk, and all associated services (collectively, the "Services"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Services.
We reserve the right to update these Terms at any time. Continued use of the Services after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms.
You must be at least 18 years of age to use the Services. By using the Services, you represent and warrant that you meet this requirement. You further represent that your use of the Services does not violate any applicable law or regulation in your jurisdiction.
It is your responsibility to determine whether accessing or using the Services, holding $VLT, or participating in governance is lawful in your jurisdiction. We make no representations regarding the legality of the Services in any particular location.
$VLT is a utility token on the Solana blockchain. Holding $VLT grants access to holder-gated features on this website, participation in community governance through The Board, and eligibility for community reserve campaigns.
$VLT is not a security, equity interest, debt instrument, or investment contract. Holding $VLT does not entitle you to any ownership interest in any company or entity, any share of profits or revenues, any dividend or distribution, or any right to repayment of any amount.
The existence of a floor defense mechanism operated by Guardian does not constitute a guarantee of any minimum token price or return. Guardian's operations are governed by on-chain rules and treasury availability, and Guardian may be unable to defend the floor if treasury resources are insufficient.
Descriptive and promotional language used in project materials, website copy, documentation, and Guardian announcements — including phrases such as "the floor always rises," "never-ending burn," "permanent price floor," or similar characterizations — describes the intended design of the system under normal operating conditions. Such language is not a legal guarantee, contractual commitment, or warranty of any outcome. No statement made in project materials creates an enforceable obligation to achieve any particular price, floor level, burn rate, or financial result.
Guardian is an autonomous software system that monitors $VLT price data, manages the treasury, executes buy-and-burn operations, and makes governance announcements. Guardian operates according to programmatic rules and does not constitute a financial advisor, investment manager, broker, or fiduciary of any kind.
Guardian's announcements, floor declarations, and market commentary are generated autonomously and do not constitute investment advice, trading recommendations, or financial guidance. You should not make any financial decision based on Guardian's communications.
Guardian may experience technical failures, connectivity issues, or unexpected behavior. We do not guarantee that Guardian will operate continuously or without error.
Nothing on the Services, including price data, Guardian announcements, research content, community discussions, or any other material, constitutes investment advice. The Services are provided for informational and community purposes only.
Cryptocurrency markets are highly volatile. You may lose some or all of the value of any tokens you hold. Past performance of $VLT or the floor defense mechanism is not indicative of future results.
Access to holder-gated features requires connecting a compatible Solana wallet. You are solely responsible for the security of your wallet and private keys. We have no ability to recover lost or stolen wallet credentials. Any action taken from your connected wallet is your sole responsibility.
Do not share your private keys, seed phrases, or wallet credentials with anyone, including the project operator. We will never ask for your private key or seed phrase.
When using The Lobby chat or other community features, you agree not to:
We reserve the right to remove content and ban users who violate these standards, at our sole discretion and without prior notice.
The Board governance system allows $VLT holders to participate in advisory votes on community reserve campaigns and protocol parameters. Governance votes are advisory in nature. The project operator retains final authority over all protocol decisions and is not bound by governance vote outcomes, though we commit to taking community input seriously.
Voting weight is proportional to $VLT holdings at the time of the vote snapshot. We do not guarantee that any particular governance outcome will be implemented.
The Vault name, logo, website design, Guardian system, and all original content on the Services are the intellectual property of the project operator. You may not reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works from any materials on the Services without prior written permission.
The $VLT smart contract source code is available on GitHub and is subject to the license terms specified in that repository.
THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.
WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR FREE OF HARMFUL COMPONENTS. WE DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF ANY INFORMATION ON THE SERVICES.
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE PROJECT OPERATOR SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICES, INCLUDING ANY LOSS OF TOKENS, FINANCIAL LOSSES, OR DATA LOSS, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
Our total liability to you for any claims arising from the Services shall not exceed the amount you paid to access the Services (which is zero, as the Services are provided free of charge).
All blockchain transactions are irreversible. We have no ability to reverse, cancel, or modify any transaction once it has been submitted to the Solana network. You are solely responsible for verifying all transaction details before signing. Transaction fees (gas) are your responsibility and are paid to the Solana network, not to us.
Cryptocurrency regulation varies by jurisdiction and is subject to rapid change. It is your sole responsibility to ensure that your use of the Services and holding of $VLT complies with all applicable laws and regulations in your jurisdiction. We make no representation that the Services are appropriate or available for use in any particular location.
These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with applicable law. Any disputes arising from these Terms or your use of the Services shall be resolved through binding arbitration rather than in court, except where prohibited by applicable law.
Questions regarding these Terms may be directed to the project operator via the X account @TheVaultVLT or through The Lobby community chat at thevaultvlt.com/chat.
