LEGAL & DATA PROTECTION

PRIVACY POLICY

Last Updated: August 15, 2026 • The Untold Voices respects your fundamental privacy, voluntary anonymity rights, and donor data security.

1. Information We Collect

We collect personal information solely to facilitate guest documentary storytelling, voluntary story applications, and direct donor support through The Untold Fund.

  • Story Applicants: Full name, age, city, occupation, struggle journey details, and voluntary consent agreements.
  • Community Donors: Name, email address, transaction reference, and optional public donor notes.
  • General Visitors: Non-identifiable diagnostic metrics (browser type, device viewport, theme preferences).

2. Guest Anonymity & Editorial Consent

We honor our guests' right to voluntary anonymity. If an applicant requests to use a pseudonym or conceal identifying geographic locations to protect their family or current employment, we uphold this unconditionally. Guests retain 100% final veto authority before any podcast or YouTube documentary episode is published.

3. Zero Data Monetization & Payment Escrow

The Untold Voices never sells, rents, or monetizes user data. We do not store full credit card or debit card numbers on our servers. All crowdfunding pledges route through bank-grade encrypted escrow payment gateways with direct allocation to verified guest accounts.

4. Contact Our Privacy Officer

For data inquiries, retraction requests, or consent modifications, contact our legal desk directly at privacy@theuntoldvoices.com.
