Transaction transparency for a direct gift

BluGives is not presented as a charity. This page explains the account-level context the product can show for a personal gift and the important difference between a transaction record and proof of an outcome.

The six pillars of transparent giving

Recipient status context

Recipient profiles may display a social-account review status and trust signals. These signals provide context, but they are not a guarantee of identity, need, future behavior, or how funds will be used.

Auditable donation records

The application can associate a transaction with a donor account, recipient account, amount, timestamp, and available payment status.

Visible disbursement

Available payment or payout status can add context, but final timing and settlement depend partly on the third-party provider.

Outcome updates

Recipients may post updates. Those statements are recipient-provided and are not an independent audit of fund use or outcome.

Disclosed fees

The current donation flow deducts a 3% payment-processing fee and a 2% platform fee from the amount entered. The exact fees and the recipient's net amount are shown before payment.

Privacy by design

Transaction context should not require public disclosure of passwords, one-time codes, complete payment details, or unnecessary identity information.

Transaction fields that may be available

  • The selected recipient profile and recipient-provided request.
  • The gross amount, both fee lines, total fees, and calculated recipient amount.
  • The transaction timestamp and available payment or payout status.
  • Any updates posted by the recipient, clearly treated as recipient-provided information.
  • A transaction record for personal reference—not a charitable tax receipt.
