Terms & Conditions

The rules for holding an account, sealing records and being part of the TataTech registry. Plain words, no surprises.

Last updated 15 November 2026

01Agreeing to these terms

TataTech is a registry that lets creators seal a document or a digital presence with a fingerprint, then let anyone check that record later. By creating an account, sealing a record or using the public verify pages you agree to these terms.

If you are using TataTech for an organisation, you confirm you may accept these terms on its behalf.

02Accounts and memberships

You are responsible for the details you put on your account, for keeping your password private and for everything done from your account. Tell us straight away if you think someone else has access.

Memberships set a monthly fingerprint allowance and a place in the registry. Allowances reset each month and unused fingerprints do not roll over. Records already sealed stay live and verifiable whatever tier you hold.

Membership requests are reviewed by the TataTech team. Until a request is confirmed the plan you already hold continues to apply.

03What sealing a record means

When you seal a record we compute a fingerprint of the content — a SHA-256 value produced in your browser — and store that fingerprint, a title, the details you supplied and the time of sealing.

The fingerprint proves that a file with exactly this content existed at the time it was sealed, and that the copy someone holds today is the same. It does not by itself establish who created the work, who owns the rights in it, or that the statements you add about it are true.

04Documents and privacy

Uploaded documents are stored privately. They are never published on the verify pages and are not part of the public record — only the fingerprint, the verification code and the details you choose to publish are public.

You keep ownership of your content. You give us only the permission we need to store it and to show the public details of the record.

05Using TataTech fairly

Do not seal content you have no right to seal, do not upload malware, and do not use the service to mislead anyone about who made or owns a work. Do not attempt to scrape, overload or reverse engineer the registry, or to create records for someone else without their permission.

We may revoke a record, suspend an account or remove a member profile where these terms are broken or where a record is used to deceive. A revoked record stays visible as revoked, with the reason shown, so a verification never silently disappears.

06Payments

Paid memberships are billed monthly in advance. Prices are shown in US dollars before you confirm an upgrade.

Where a payment fails, the plan reverts to the free tier at the end of the paid period. Sealed records are never deleted because a plan lapsed.

07Affiliate programme

Members may share an affiliate link. A commission rate is fixed by the tier you hold at the moment the referred member signs up, and commissions are recorded against confirmed referrals.

Self-referral, fake accounts and any attempt to inflate referrals are grounds for cancelling unpaid commissions and closing the affiliate account.

08Changes and availability

We improve the service over time, so features and allowances may change. Where a change materially reduces what a paid plan includes, we will tell members before it takes effect.

We aim to keep the registry online continuously but we cannot promise uninterrupted availability. Scheduled maintenance is announced where it is practical to do so.

09Ending the agreement

You can stop using TataTech at any time. We can close an account that breaks these terms.

Public verification records you sealed may remain available so that certificates already in circulation still resolve. You can ask us to revoke a record you no longer want verifiable.
