Timing

Masked in tracking
Public tracking never exposes your full email, phone, payout destination or card details.
Restricted access
Only authorised administrators can view submission details, and every action is logged.
Audit trail
Each status change is recorded with a timestamp and the responsible admin.
Secrets isolated
Configuration and secrets are kept in environment variables, never in the app.
