Truth Vault™

What is the Truth Vault?

The Truth Vault is a private, permanent record inside DysPhilter®. It saves proof of what happened to you. When DysPhilter® stops a harmful message before it's sent — the loud kind or the quiet kind — that message is saved to your vault, with its date and time. You can save things to your vault yourself, too. Every record is sealed the moment it's saved: if anyone tried to change it, the change would show. It's the first of its kind: your evidence cannot be deleted by a broken or stolen phone, by fear, or by anyone pressuring you to destroy it. It can be used in court. It's your evidence. It belongs to you.

Where does my evidence live?

On our secure systems, locked. The key that unlocks it belongs to you — not us, not anyone else. That's deliberate. If your phone is lost, stolen, or broken, your evidence is safe. Sign in from any device and your vault is there, exactly as you left it.

Can Ros or the DysPhilter® team read my vault?

No. You hold the key. We can't read your evidence, and we never see what's inside. That's the design: the person the vault protects is the only person who holds the key. We look after the safe. We never hold the key.

Can I delete my own vault?

Not in one tap, and there's a reason. The vault exists for people who may be pressured, threatened, or frightened. People under that kind of pressure delete things they later desperately need. Permanent deletion takes a pause and a steady-state check first — the same respect for your capacity we build into everything else. If you ask for full erasure, your request is looked at deliberately, and the fact you asked is recorded too.

What happens if my child deletes their account?

A child or young person can't instantly delete their way out. Deletion goes through a careful route, with a trusted adult involved. If a young person tries to delete their account — especially out of fear — that attempt is recorded with the date and time. “Why did they need to leave at that moment?” is exactly the question a safeguarding adult may need to ask. Their evidence isn't lost. Their access can pause. The protection doesn't.

What if my trusted person becomes the problem, or moves on?

You can remove a trusted person at any time. The moment you do, their access ends, and the change is saved to your record. Relationships change. Social workers move to new jobs. Someone who was safe once isn't always safe later. Your vault is built for real life: your evidence stays yours, and who can see it is always your current decision.

Can my evidence be used in court?

Yes. Every record is sealed at the moment it's written. If anyone tried to change it, the seal breaks and the change shows. Your records carry their own dates and times, and they're admissible in UK courts under the Civil Evidence Act 1995. You never have to have read the content for it to count as evidence.

How do I send my evidence to the police, Youth Justice, social services, or the Home Office?

You build an Evidence Pack. You choose which records go in. The pack is sealed so it can't be changed on the way. You choose where it goes — police, Youth Justice, a parole officer, social services, the Home Office — to a named person, and you confirm the send. Every delivery is logged, so you have proof of what was sent, when, and to whom. Nothing ever leaves your vault without your action. You're in control of your evidence from start to finish.

What if I'm not ready to look at what's in my vault?

You don't have to. Raw content stays closed while your healing journey is active, and it only opens after a steady-state check and a support-person check. The evidence is kept safe for you, for whenever you choose. You never have to re-read harm to prove it happened.
