Trust

Security, while we are still taking names.

Village Account is not live. We are not taking gifts yet. This page says what we do with waitlist information now, and how money will be handled when campaigns open.

Waitlist data

If you join the list, we store the name, email, phone, role, city, child's first name, and goal you give us, plus basic request metadata. That lives in our database so we can write when we can help you start a page.

We do not sell this list. We do not use it to run ads. You can ask us to delete your row at hello@takesavillage.io.

When gifts are possible

Card details will be handled by Stripe, not stored on Takes A Village servers. There is no platform fee. Household pages are capped at CAD $1,000 for this first group. Gifts are in Canadian dollars and are not a charitable tax receipt. The parent is the merchant for each gift; Takes A Village never receives or holds gift money.

The person who receives money will need to be verified before payout. That is how we keep a stranger from cashing out a child's page.

Secrets and access

Service credentials stay on the server. Public pages do not include database keys. Support is hello@takesavillage.io.

Payday Audit

Payday Audit is a separate live product with its own login and billing. It is not part of Village gift checkout. See paydayaudit.app.
