Identity Protocols
Revised: January 20, 2026.
This document serves as the supreme directive for all interactions within the Custos Doctrinae network. By maintaining an active uplink, you agree to these mandates.
01 // Terms of Use
A // Acceptance of Terms
By registering your frequency (subscribing) or accessing our digital terminals, you enter a binding covenant with Custos Doctrinae. Disconnect immediately if you do not agree.
B // The Nature of the Archive
Custos Doctrinae is a repository of speculative history. We do not guarantee that information contained within aligns with consensus reality projected by external authorities.
- Artifacts are sold as "curios" or "reproductions."
- Metaphysical properties are subjective user experiences.
C // User Conduct
"Do not pollute the signal. Harassment or unauthorized decryption will result in immediate severance from the Loom."
D // Intellectual Property
The branding, logos (including the "C" Diamond), and narrative content of Custos Doctrinae are the intellectual property of the Archivists. You may not reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works without express written permission from the Vault.
E // Limitation of Liability
In no event shall Custos Doctrinae be liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the Archive. We are not responsible for data corruption caused by atmospheric anomalies or reality shifts.
F // Modifications
We reserve the right to modify these protocols at any time. Significant changes will be broadcast via the Intelligence newsletter. Continued use of the service constitutes acceptance of the new Weave.
02 // Privacy Protocol
A // Signal Interception
When you initialize your identity, we archive specific data points: your designation (name), uplink address (email), and financial clearing codes (handled via Stripe).
B // Tracking Beacons
Our terminals utilize local storage artifacts ("cookies") to maintain your session. These beacons ensure you do not need to re-authenticate at every node. We do not deploy tracking probes that follow you outside the Archive's perimeter.
C // The Obsidian Veil
While we employ cryptographic shielding, no system connected to the global network is invulnerable. By transmitting your data, you acknowledge this inherent risk.
D // The Purpose of the Archive
Data retained in the Vault is utilized strictly for:
- Authenticating your clearance level for restricted portal entries.
- Transmitting the 'Intelligence' dispatch (newsletter) to your terminal.
E // External Nodes (Third Parties)
Custos Doctrinae operates as a closed loop, but we utilize trusted external conduits for specific functions:
"Stripe (Treasury), Beehiiv (Comms), and Supabase (The Ledger). We do not barter, sell, or trade your frequency to data brokers."
03 // Financial Protocol
A // Digital Clearance
Clearance tiers grant immediate, irrevocable access to restricted sectors. **By initializing your uplink, you expressly acknowledge that digital content is delivered instantly and you waive any statutory 14-day right of withdrawal.** Payments for commenced billing cycles are non-refundable.
B // Cancellation Protocol
You may sever your connection to the Registry (cancel subscription) at any time via the Member Portal. Upon severance, your clearance will remain active until the end of the current billing epoch, after which your access key will be revoked.
C // Anomalous Transactions
If you detect a discrepancy in your ledger (billing error), you must signal the Archivists immediately at thelorekeeper@custosdoctrinae.com . Verified anomalies will be rectified via the Stripe Treasury.
04 // Institutional Profile
A // The Mandate
Custos Doctrinae is a decentralized assembly of researchers, artists, and archivists dedicated to the preservation of speculative data. Our mission is to excavate the "Old World" signal and reconstruct the fragmented histories of the Weave.
"The past is not a fixed point, but a signal we are still receiving. We are simply the lens through which it is focused."
B // The Archivists
Led by **The Lorekeeper**, our team operates behind the Obsidian Veil to produce high-fidelity research entertainment. Every frame of our broadcasts, every line of the Codex, and every physical artifact is crafted to maintain the integrity of the Custos identity. We believe that in an age of digital noise, the curation of the signal is the highest form of service.
05 // Communication Protocol
A // Solicitation Directive
"The Lorekeeper’s desk is reserved for research and member service. We operate within a closed development circle and do not accept unsolicited proposals."
To ensure the clarity of our transmission, Custos Doctrinae enforces a strict **No Solicitation** policy:
- Marketing & SEO: Our digital footprint and site architecture are managed exclusively in-house. We do not entertain external offers for optimization or lead generation.
- Uplink Filtering: Unsolicited commercial emails sent to the `@custosdoctrinae.com` domain are automatically archived as noise and the sender's frequency permanently filtered.
- Authorized Contact: This channel is strictly for subscriber support, lore inquiries, and verified research collaborations.
