Privacy Policy

The Fine Print You'll Probably Skip

Trauma Box ("we," "our," "the house," "the middleman") respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you interact with our digital containment unit.

By using Trauma Box, you acknowledge that you have read this policy. Or at least scrolled past it very quickly. Same thing, legally speaking. (Not legal advice.)

Information We Collect

We may collect the following types of information:

• Account Information: Email address and display name when you create an account.
• Authentication Data: Information necessary to verify your identity via our authentication provider (Supabase).
• Transaction Records: Token transactions, content unlocks, and creator earnings within our chaos economy.
• Creator Content: Stories, media, and other content you submit to the platform.
• Usage Data: How you interact with the platform, including pages visited and features used.
• Your Atrocity Aptitude Score: Just kidding. That stays between you and your conscience.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Operate the platform and facilitate the chaos economy
• Process token transactions between creators and consumers
• Display creator attributions on published content
• Send you important updates about your account or content
• Improve our services (make the chaos more efficient)
• Comply with legal obligations

Information Sharing

We do not sell your personal information. We may share information with:

• Other Users: Your display name appears on content you create.
• Service Providers: Technical partners who help operate the platform (Supabase, Vercel).
• Legal Authorities: When required by law or to protect our rights.

We will never share your token balance or unlock history with other users. Your consumption of traumatic content remains between you and the void.

The Chaos Economy & Tokens

Important clarifications about our token system:

• Tokens have no monetary value whatsoever.
• Tokens are randomly assigned and cannot be purchased.
• Token transactions are logged for transparency and creator attribution.
• The 90/10 split between creators and the house is publicly visible.

Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information, including:

• Encrypted data transmission (HTTPS)
• Secure authentication via Supabase
• Regular security audits
• Access controls and monitoring

However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure. We do our best, but the void makes no guarantees.

Your Rights

You may have the right to:

• Access the personal information we hold about you
• Request correction of inaccurate information
• Request deletion of your account and data
• Export your data in a portable format
• Opt out of non-essential communications

To exercise these rights, see our Data Deletion page or contact us at the email below.

Cookies & Tracking

We use essential cookies for:

• Authentication and session management
• Remembering your token balance
• Platform functionality

We do not use third-party advertising trackers. We're already judging you based on your content choices; we don't need help from advertisers.

Contact Us

For privacy-related questions or requests:

• Email: privacy@crateso.com
• Response Time: We aim to respond within 30 days, unless the void consumes your request.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any material changes by posting the new policy on this page. Continued use of the platform after changes constitutes acceptance. Reading optional.
