01 Definition Plain terms · Library D.2

What is a private line?

A private line is a relay phone number you hand out instead of your own — calls and texts pass through to your phone while your real number stays hidden. Burn it and it goes quiet in both directions. Graduate it and one tap reveals your real number.

The burner number alternative built for trust — paired with an encrypted contact vault that does what a personal CRM only gestures at: it remembers people, privately.

02 The vault Memory, not surveillance

Log a person in five seconds.

At the bar door, one voice note: "met at Lina's party, climber, knows Dev from work, no cilantro — dinner idea, that Thai place." The vault structures it into a person — where you met, the thread, the moments, the circles they run in.

Then it works while you live. The next-touch dispatcher, personal edition: "Maya's gallery opening is Friday — you said you'd go." Memory that holds, without you holding it.

The contacts app is where context goes to die — "Mike Hinge?", "Sarah conference?", fused to a number you can never take back. This is the replacement.

03 Lines The disclosure layer · relay pool
L.1 One line per context Provision a relay number for Dating, Marketplace, Networking — or for one person. Hand it out instead of your own. It is a real, working number that reaches you.
L.2 Relay through Calls and texts pass through to your phone. The thread lives in the vault, attached to the person — message bodies are never retained on our servers.
L.3 Burn The line dies, both directions. The thread archives. No notification to the other party — it simply goes unreachable, like any number that changes. Your real number was never exposed.
L.4 Graduate The payoff. When trust matures, one tap reveals your real number and migrates the thread to native SMS. The product celebrates — Vyan Personal succeeds when relationships outgrow it.

04 The Exchange Tap to share · NFC / QR

Two phones tap. You choose the card.

Each side picks a disclosure card in the moment — explicit, never inferred. They get a beautiful contact card. You get a vault entry with time and place attached. The physical Vyan card works here too: one piece of hardware, both markets.

05 The ethics wall Product law · written before the schema
E.1 Privacy shields identity It never deceives about conduct. A line is presented honestly — a real, working number that reaches a real person. We protect reachability, not catfishing.
E.2 Burn is mutual respect Burning blocks contact both ways and confirms nothing to the other party. No "you've been burned" notification that invites retaliation. It simply goes quiet.
E.3 Memory, not surveillance Notes are about your interactions. No location tracking of other people. No social-media scraping. No "find their address" — that capability exists on the business side, deliberately not here.
E.4 Anti-harassment on our rails An abuse report on a relay thread suspends the line pending review. Carrier rules and STOP keywords are honored on relay traffic exactly as in business comms — one gate, one codebase.
E.5 We cannot read your vault End-to-end encrypted, keys held by you. We cannot sell it, leak it, or be subpoenaed into a gossip file. The ciphertext is the privacy policy.

Receipts, not promises.

07 Questions Asked before buying
Is Vyan Personal really end-to-end encrypted?

Yes. The vault is encrypted on your device and stored as ciphertext, with keys held by you. We cannot read it, sell it, or be subpoenaed into a gossip file. The architecture is the privacy policy.

What happens when I burn a line?

The line goes quiet in both directions. No bounce, no notification to the other party — it simply becomes unreachable, like any number that changes. The thread archives in your vault, and your real number was never exposed.

Can I move from a burner app?

Yes. Provision a Line per context, hand it out instead of your number, and log the people worth keeping into the vault. Unlike a burner app, a line here has two endings — burn it, or graduate it to your real number when trust matures.

Remember everyone worth remembering.

Open the vault, provision your first Line, and hand out a number you can take back. The free tier is the real product — Black is the rest of it.

Share a line, not your life. Burn it if you need to. Remember everyone worth remembering.
