Help — getting started with Spondeo

Spondeo lets you prove an affiliation (e.g. "I'm a current student") once, then share a link that shows a verified card — without revealing your school, employer, email, or name.

How it works

1. Verify once. Go to /verify, pick what you're proving (student, alumni, employee,

faculty), and enter your organization email. We email you a 6‑digit code. Entering it proves you control that address — we never store the raw email, and the school/employer name never leaves your device.

1. Hold your credential. A minimal‑disclosure credential is created and kept in your browser

(your private key never leaves it). See it any time at /wallet.

1. Share a proof link. From /share, choose exactly which facts to reveal (just a tier

and status — never PII), set an optional expiry, and mint a link. Anyone who opens it sees a verified ✓ card. You can revoke the link any time.

1. (Optional) Request a proof from someone. Use /request to ask another person to

prove an affiliation back to you.

What a viewer learns

Only the claims you chose to reveal — a coarse tier (e.g. "accredited US university") and your status (e.g. "current student"), plus a per‑link pseudonymous id. Never your school, employer, email, name, or birthday.

Privacy

• Credentials, the database, and logs hold only tiers/enums — never raw email, domain, school, or name.
• View analytics are coarse (region/device) and use a daily‑rotating viewer hash; raw IP and

user‑agent are discarded immediately, and viewers are never tracked across links.

• You can delete your account and history at any time from your profile.

For developers

Building a product that needs to check affiliation? See the developer docs, pricing, and the TypeScript SDK / MCP server. Verify a user in one API call — and receive only a tier/status, never their PII.
