What we collect

Account details (name, email, profile photo), what you post and upload, the communities you join, and basic usage data such as pages viewed and device type.

Payment details are handled by Stripe, Paystack and Paddle. Vela does not store card numbers or payment PINs.

How we use it

To run the service, send the emails you've asked for (such as event reminders and digests), keep accounts secure, and improve Vela. We don't sell personal data.

Who we share it with

The creators of communities you join can see your profile, posts and membership details. We use service providers for authentication (Clerk), hosting, email (Resend), video (LiveKit), file storage and payments, who process data on our behalf.

Your choices

You can edit your profile, change email preferences in your notification settings, leave communities at any time, and ask us to delete your account.

To access, correct or delete your data, email support@vela.app.
