# Privacy

> How Swiv keeps all user activity private until settlement.

All user activity within a pool is **private until settlement**.

## What Stays Private

The following data is hidden from all other participants while a pool is active:

* Submitted predictions
* Updates and timing behavior

<Info>
  Even if two users enter the same pool, neither can see what the other has predicted.
</Info>

## Why It Matters

By keeping activity hidden, Swiv prevents:

<CardGroup cols={3}>
  <Card title="Copy trading" icon="copy">
    No one can see and replicate another user's prediction.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Whale influence" icon="fish">
    Large participants cannot signal a direction that others follow.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Bandwagon behavior" icon="users">
    Late entrants cannot observe what the majority has predicted and conform.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

## When Data Is Revealed

All predictions, updates, and timing data are **revealed only after the pool is resolved**. At that point, the outcome has already been finalized and no further predictions can be made — so the data cannot be acted upon.

<Note>
  This design ensures every participant's prediction reflects independent judgment rather than social influence.
