Privacy Policy

Effective July 18, 2026

What we collect

Truvace is a reference publication, not an advertising business. We collect only what the product needs to function: if you create a reader or contributor account, we store your email address, a display name, and your activity on the record (readings you register, comments you post, and problems you connect yourself to). Private account features also store companies you follow, alert rules, notification and delivery history, saved research views, and any public-view links you intentionally create. If you submit a story suggestion, we store the text and any link you include. Server logs record standard technical data (IP address, browser type, request time) for security and reliability. Export throttling stores only a one-way request fingerprint, never the raw address used to make it.

What we do not do

We do not sell personal information. We do not run third-party advertising or advertising trackers. We do not build advertising profiles. Public activity you choose to attach to your name — a comment, a “working on it” engagement on an open problem, or a saved view you explicitly publish — is visible to other readers by design; everything else stays internal.

Cookies

We use an essential session cookie to keep you signed in. Aggregate product measurement runs with analytics and advertising storage denied, Google Signals disabled, and no advertising personalization. See Your Privacy Choices for controls.

Service providers

The site runs on Vercel (hosting) and Supabase (database and authentication). Resend delivers newsletters and company-alert email when you request it. Google Analytics provides restricted aggregate product measurement with storage denied. These providers act under our configuration. External source links on records lead to third-party sites governed by their own policies.

Retention and deletion

Account data is kept while your account exists. Inside your account you can unfollow companies, disable alerts, clear notification history, delete saved views, and revoke public links. You can request deletion of your account and associated personal data at any time by emailing team@truvace.com or via the contact form; published editorial records and their version history are not personal data and remain permanent — that permanence is the product’s core promise. Comments from deleted accounts are retained without the account association or removed on request.

Children

Truvace is not directed at children under 13. See the Children’s Privacy Policy.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or port your personal information. US state-specific rights are described in Your US State Privacy Rights. To exercise any right, email team@truvace.com or use the contact form, and we will respond within the timelines your jurisdiction requires.

Changes

If this policy changes, the change is dated here — the same revision-visible discipline as the rest of the site.
