Privacy Policy

How Pudding handles your data.

This page is maintained by the Pudding team as app-owned editable content. It describes current practices only.

What we collect

Account info: email, username, display name, bio, avatar, and cover image.
Channel data: handles and profile URLs you verify through OAuth or bio code.
Proof Records: URLs, titles, notes, SHA-256 fingerprints, and optional file metadata.
When you use /verify, your browser computes the fingerprint locally; we never receive the original file unless you choose to upload it for storage.

How we use it

We use your data to run the service, display your public profile, verify channels, and send important account updates. We don't sell your data.

Public data

Your profile, verified channels, and Proof Records are public by design. Don't register anything you want to keep private.

Retention

We keep your data as long as your account exists. You can delete your account in settings. Public Proof Records and anchoring references may be retained for a reasonable period after deletion to preserve the public record.
