The Stamp Pledge

What we will always do

The flip side. These are the things you can hold us to, that distinguish Stamp from every other paid social experiment.

• One post per day per member

  Quality over quantity, by design. The single-post limit is a feature, not a constraint we'll relax under growth pressure.
• Only your circle sees your posts

  No public timeline. No "explore." No content that strangers can browse. Your circle is the audience, and the audience is invited only.
• After costs, 50% of remaining net profit to community causes

  Not 50% of revenue (a marketing trick); 50% of actual post-tax profit, after all operating costs are covered. The donation is made by Stamp Social Ltd (the company), not by members; members are customers paying for the app, the donation comes from any profit the company earns after costs. If the company makes no profit in a quarter, no donation is made for that quarter and no shortfall accrues against any later quarter. Exactly three UK-registered charities receive an equal share of the charity pool, paid quarterly on the last working day of March, June, September and December. Each payment is an unconditional outright donation in the sense that no service, marketing benefit, or report is required from the charity in return. We hope each charity publishes a quarterly impact note so members can see what was funded, and we expect most will, but no payment is gated on a report being filed. Accountability runs through the annual member vote: a charity that doesn't engage with the cohort is unlikely to be re-elected. If a charity steps back from the cohort during a year, their share redistributes equally to the remaining two for the rest of that year, and the roster refreshes at the December vote.
• £3/month or £30/year, never adjusted arbitrarily

  The flat fee is the price of joining. We won't adjust it arbitrarily; if we ever need to (e.g. to keep pace with inflation), we'll give at least 30 days' notice and the option to cancel without penalty. No surprise hikes.
• Member-voted causes, every year

  For the first year (1 October 2026 to 31 December 2027) the founder selects the three charities directly so funds can flow from day one, with publicly stated rationale published alongside each name before launch. From the December 2027 vote onward, charities self-submit (UK-registered, named representative, acceptance of the standard terms) and members vote in the first week of December (1 to 7 December) each year. No submission fee. Receiving charities are not Stamp partners, are not required to hold a Stamp account, and are under no obligation to Stamp in return; if a representative chooses to open one it's on the same £3/month basis as any other user and unrelated to selection. Members judge each charity at the next vote on how visibly they've engaged with the cohort over the year; those who haven't shown up tend not to get re-elected. Every member whose paid subscription has been active for at least 30 consecutive days (not including any free trial) at the date the vote opens has one vote.
• Delete-account that actually deletes

  Settings → Delete account wipes your live data immediately. Backups roll off within 7 days. There is no "deactivated" purgatory or "we keep your data for legal reasons" small print.
• Full data portability

  Export every post, photo, voice note, and message you've ever sent in machine-readable form. UK GDPR right; we honour it on request inside one month.
• Plain-English Terms & Privacy

  Our legal documents read like documents you might actually sign. No hidden waivers. No 30-page click-through. Plain-English, member-readable.
