Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 28, 2026

What data we collect

When you create a ProofCrest account, we collect:

  • Account information: Organization name, domain, email address, and hashed password
  • Document hashes: SHA-256 hashes of your documents (the documents themselves never leave your device)
  • Blockchain records: Transaction hashes, wallet addresses, and registration timestamps
  • Usage data: Verification counts, API usage, and feature usage for analytics

What we don't collect

  • Your actual documents — hashing happens entirely in your browser
  • Document contents, text, or metadata
  • Personal data beyond what's needed for your account

How we use your data

  • Register document hashes on the Polygon blockchain
  • Verify documents against registered hashes
  • Display your organization's verification badge
  • Process billing through Razorpay
  • Send essential account notifications

Data sharing

We share data only with:

  • Polygon blockchain: Document hashes and wallet addresses (public, immutable)
  • Razorpay: For payment processing (paid plans only)

We do not sell your data to third parties.

Data retention

Account data is retained while your account is active. Blockchain records are permanent and immutable by design. You can request account deletion by contacting us.

Security

All data is transmitted over HTTPS. Passwords are hashed with bcrypt. JWT tokens are used for authentication. Document hashing is performed client-side — your files never touch our servers.
