Your data stays yours

VendCast is built on a simple principle: your business data is yours alone.

  • No other operator can access your events, contacts, sales, or customer information. Ever.
  • Your data isn't sold, licensed, or shared with third parties.
  • The only cross-operator information is privacy-first performance signal — patterns, not records — used solely to improve everyone's forecast accuracy.
  • Every administrative action on our end is logged and auditable.
