1. Data Minimization
VaM-X adheres to a strict 'Data Minimization' philosophy. We do not track personal browsing habits. We collect and process only the absolute minimum information required to facilitate system access and verify membership validity.
2. Information We Process
Our system interactions are limited to the following technical necessities:
- Authentication Data: Via Discord OAuth2, we process Tokenized Identity Claims (User ID) solely to verify VIP status and enforce security policies. We never access your private messages or friends list.
- Volatile Connection Data: We utilize DS Systems' Edge Network to perform real-time region verification. This data is processed in-memory and immediately discarded.
- Session State: A secure, HttpOnly cookie is stored locally to maintain your active encrypted session.
3. The "No-Log" Search Standard
We operate with a strict privacy standard regarding your activity and financial security:
- Activity Minimization: We do not track your browsing history or search queries. However, we retain Account State Data (e.g., Bookmarks, VIP Status, Discord ID) within our secure Key-Value store to maintain your personalized user experience.
- Security Exception: For strict infrastructure protection, we retain transient firewall logs (IP Address, Country, Request Path) solely to identify and block automated attacks, botnets, or abusive patterns. This data is strictly isolated from your behavioral profile.
- User Preferences: Data voluntarily saved by you (e.g., Bookmarks, VIP Status) is stored in a secure key-value format solely to maintain your personalized experience.
- Secure Billing Infrastructure: To ensure maximum transaction security, all payments are processed directly by DS Systems, the Direct Licensor of the ecosystem access key. This decoupled architecture ensures that VaM-X never sees, stores, or processes your financial data. Transactions will appear on your banking statement under the DS Systems network identifier.
4. External Links & Third-Party Origins
Our platform acts as a metadata index that resolves to secure Third-Party Origin Nodes. Once you initialize a connection to an external resource pointer and leave our domain, your interaction is governed by the privacy policy of that third-party origin. VaM-X cannot control and is not responsible for the data collection practices of external nodes.
5. Children's Privacy
VaM-X does not knowingly collect or solicit personal information from anyone under the age of majority. By using this service, you represent that you possess the legal capacity to consent to these terms. If we become aware that we have collected data from a minor without verification of parental consent, we will take steps to remove that information from our servers.
6. Law Enforcement Disclosure
We may disclose collected data (Authentication & Session Data) only in response to a valid Subpoena, Court Order, or Search Warrant.
However, due to our strict 'Data Minimization' and 'No-Log' architecture, VaM-X is technically unable to provide specific resource access history or browsing activity, as this data simply does not exist on our servers.
