Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 2026

SanctumVault ("we", "our", "the platform") is a study resource repository built for students at the University of Ilorin. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have.

Information we collect

When you create an account, we collect your full name, email address, and a securely hashed password. When you submit study materials, we store the file itself along with metadata such as course, year, and type. We also record basic usage data such as likes, downloads, and reports to keep the platform functioning correctly.

How we use your information

Your information is used to operate your account, display attribution on materials you submit, moderate content, and improve the platform. We do not sell your personal information to third parties.

Cookies and advertising

SanctumVault may display advertisements through Google AdSense. Google and its partners may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this or other websites. You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.

When advertising is enabled, third-party providers such as Google may use cookies and similar technologies to receive information about visits to this and other websites for ad delivery, measurement, fraud prevention, and personalization. Learn more about how Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services. Where applicable law or advertising-platform rules require consent, the appropriate consent mechanism must be configured before relevant advertising technologies are enabled. This policy alone does not provide that consent mechanism.

Data storage

Your data is stored securely using Supabase, a third-party database and authentication provider. Uploaded files are kept in private storage and only made accessible through secure, time-limited links.

Your rights

You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal data at any time by contacting us through the details on our Contact page.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Continued use of SanctumVault after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
