Privacy

Most of what UsePaid holds is already public, and almost none of it was collected from the people it names. This policy sets out exactly what there is, where it came from, and what happens to it.

Effective
31 August 2026
Version
1.0
Applies to
The UsePaid site, protocol and payout ledger

1Scope

UsePaid operates this site and the ledger behind it, and is responsible for the data described in this policy. “UsePaid”, “we” and “us” below mean UsePaid.

This policy covers the UsePaid site and the ledger behind it. It does not cover X, X Money, pump.fun, pons.family, Robinhood or any other service UsePaid reads from or pays through. Those services have their own policies, and what they do with your data is governed by them.

2What we hold

The ledger holds registered tokens, the fees claimed against them, what is owed to whom, and every attempt to pay it. In full:

Tokens
Mint address, name, symbol, image, description, and the fee sharing configuration read from the chain.
Recipients
The X handle taken from the token description, and X's numeric id for that handle.
Fees
Amount claimed, the claim's transaction signature, and when it settled.
Payouts
Amount owed, current status, and each attempt's transaction id and receipt.
Site requests
Ordinary server and CDN logs, including IP address and user agent, kept for security and debugging.

There is no account system, so there is no profile, no password, no email address and no contact record. Nothing on this list was typed into a form by the person it concerns.

3Where it comes from

Almost all of it is read from public sources. Token data comes from the chain and from the token's own metadata. The recipient handle comes from the description the deployer wrote, and the numeric id comes from X's public profile data for that handle.

This is the part worth being direct about. If a token names you, UsePaid holds a record about you that you did not give it and were not asked about. That is how the product works. It is also why a payout is announced publicly rather than quietly: the person it concerns should be able to find out that it happened.

4Why we hold it

Each field exists because a payment cannot be made or evidenced without it. The handle and numeric id identify who is owed. The claim signature ties an obligation to the on-chain event that created it. The payout record is the receipt, and it is what makes the ledger auditable rather than merely asserted.

None of it is used to build a profile, to target advertising, or to make any automated decision about a person. There are no advertising or analytics trackers on this site.

5What we never hold

No private keys and no seed phrases. No password or credential for your X account. No card, bank or payment instrument details: money moves through X Money, and UsePaid never sees the instrument behind it. No government identity documents. No browsing profile, and no cross-site tracking.

6Who else sees it

The payout itself passes through X, since X Money is the rail. What reaches X is what a payment needs: the recipient and the amount.

Infrastructure providers necessarily handle data in passing, including the hosting and database provider and the RPC provider the chain is read through. They act on UsePaid's instructions and for no other purpose.

Data may be disclosed where the law requires it. Beyond that, nothing is sold, rented or shared. There is no data brokerage here, and nothing on the list in clause 2 that anyone would buy.

7What is public by design

Registered tokens, amounts routed, and payout confirmations are meant to be seen. The transparency of the ledger is a feature of the product rather than an oversight, and the confirmation reply is posted publicly on purpose.

None of that includes anything you gave UsePaid privately, because you did not give it anything privately.

8How long we keep it

Ledger records are kept for as long as the ledger exists. They are the record of what was owed and what was paid, and deleting them would remove the evidence that a payment was made to the person it was made to.

Held balances are tracked until they are paid, or until they expire after 7 days and are recycled into a buyback. Server and CDN logs are kept for a short operational period and then discarded.

On-chain records are permanent and are outside anyone's control, including ours.

9Security

Access to the ledger is restricted, traffic is encrypted in transit, and treasury signing keys are held separately from the application. No system is perfectly secure, and UsePaid does not claim otherwise. What limits the damage here is the shape of the data: there are no credentials, no payment instruments and no identity documents to lose.

10Your choices

Whether you can be paid at all is a setting on your X Money account, which governs who may pay you generally. UsePaid honours it and does not operate a separate list.

You can ask UsePaid to stop paying a handle and to remove it from the site's surfaces. You can also ask for a copy of what the ledger holds about a handle, or for a correction if something is wrong. On-chain records cannot be deleted by UsePaid or by anyone else, and a payment already made through X remains recorded by X.

Depending on where you live you may have further rights over personal data, and you may complain to your local data protection authority.

11Children

UsePaid is not directed at children and is not intended for anyone under the minimum age required to hold an X account. It does not knowingly hold data about children, and a handle believed to belong to a child will be removed from the site's surfaces on request.

12Changes to this policy

This policy may change as the product does. The version in force is the one published here, identified by the effective date and version at the top of the page. Material changes will be noted on the site.

13Contact

UsePaid is contactable at @UsePaid on X. That is the only channel: there is no privacy address, and a message sent anywhere else does not reach us.

Privacy questions, access requests, corrections and removal requests all go there.
