The Volunteer Coin Project Foundation (“VCPF”, a 501(c)(3)) collects limited personal and activity information to operate the Proof-of-Impact reward system, verify eligibility (KYC), prevent fraud, and comply with applicable laws. We minimize data, use it only for stated purposes, and do not sell personal data.
What We Collect
Account & Identity (KYC)
- Full name, date of birth, government ID (image/number), selfie (liveness), address (where required)
- Wallet address(es), signature proofs, device IDs (for wallet linking)
Proof-of-Impact Data
- Check-in/out timestamps; coarse location (geotag at city/town block level)
- Before/after photos or short clips (where tasks require evidence)
- Tier status, certifications (e.g., CPR/BLS), consent signatures
Site & App Analytics
- Cookie/usage data, pages viewed, referral and device info (e.g., via Google Analytics 4)
How We Use Data
- Verify identity (KYC) and eligibility for LVBTNG and SYNCM distributions
- Record and validate volunteer impact logs (timestamps, geotag, media) to prevent fraud/duplication
- Operate tiers, rewards, governance, and audits; respond to support and safety issues
- Comply with nonprofit, donor, and financial-crime regulations
- Improve services through aggregate, anonymized analytics
Legal basis (where applicable): consent, legitimate interests (fraud prevention, security), contract performance (program participation), and legal obligations.
Sharing & Disclosure
- KYC vendors / verification partners (only for identity checks)
- Cloud/storage and analytics providers under data-processing agreements
- Law enforcement or regulators where legally required
- Public blockchain: wallet addresses and token transactions are inherently public
We do not sell personal data.
Storage, Retention & Security
- Encrypted at rest and in transit; role-based internal access
- KYC records: retained only as long as required by compliance and audit obligations
- Impact media (photos/clips): stored for reward validation and audits, then minimized or anonymized where feasible
Your Choices & Rights
- Access, correct, or delete your personal data (subject to legal requirements)
- Opt out of non-essential analytics cookies in your browser
- Withdraw consent (where processing is based on consent)
To make a request, email info@volunteercoinproject.org with subject “Data Request”. For security, we may ask you to verify ownership of the email and wallet(s).
Minors (BlueShip Programs)
Students may participate only with parental/guardian consent and a releasing school/teacher. We collect the minimum necessary information and restrict visibility. No LVBTNG distributions occur within BlueShip; rewards are limited to SYNCM under supervision.
KYC Disclaimer
By submitting your information, you consent to our collection and use of your personal data for identity verification, fraud prevention, and eligibility checks for token distributions. KYC is required beginning at Tier 3 (and above) and for all LVBTNG distributions. If you do not wish to provide KYC, you may remain in Tiers 1–2 with limited features and SYNCM-only rewards.
You may request deletion of your KYC record where legally permissible once your participation ends; some records may be retained to satisfy legal/audit requirements.
Location & Media Consent (Proof-of-Impact)
From Tier 3 upward, you agree to log start/stop times, provide a coarse geotag, and where required upload before/after media to verify impact. This information is used solely to validate service and distribute rewards, and is not sold.
Cookies & Analytics
We use Google Analytics 4 to understand usage in aggregate. You can block or clear cookies in your browser settings. We do not use analytics to make automated individual decisions about eligibility or rewards.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy to reflect changes in our programs or the law. Material updates will be dated above and posted on this page.
