Points of contact

One mailbox, our contact address (published here before launch), serves every purpose below, and a person reads it. We answer in English or Dutch. Put URGENT in the subject for anything about a person's safety or a possible minor.

• Creators, fans and visitors: questions, complaints and requests about your data.
• Reports about a page: use "Report this page" at the bottom of the page, or email us. See how we handle reports.
• Rights holders: notices about copyright, trademarks or someone's picture used without permission.
• Authorities of EU member states, the European Commission and the European Board for Digital Services (Digital Services Act, art. 11), and law enforcement elsewhere.

Supervision

Devota is an online service established in Belgium. The Belgian Institute for Postal Services and Telecommunications (BIPT) is the Digital Services Coordinator. The Belgian Data Protection Authority supervises how we handle personal data, and the FPS Economy supervises consumer law.

For law enforcement

We can't freeze, seize or return money. Tributes go straight from the fan's wallet to the creator's wallet on the Solana blockchain, and Devota never holds them. We can take a page offline so it takes no new tributes, and we can tell you what we know.

What we hold:

• About a creator: the email address of their sign-in, their page (handle, name, picture, bio), their receiving wallet and the wallets it replaced, the result of their identity check (never the ID document or the selfie, which stay with our verification provider Didit), reports about the page and our decisions.
• About a tribute: the wallet it was paid from, the amount, the transaction signature, the time, and the name and message the fan added, if any. Fans have no account, so we hold no email address or identity for them.

A request must come from a competent authority, name the page, wallet or transaction precisely, and state its legal basis. We keep data that a valid preservation request names for 90 days, renewable once. We tell the person concerned about a request unless the law forbids it or telling them would put someone in danger.
