A private, secure space to explore your options — on your terms.
You don’t have to decide what to do today.
What is Callisto Vault?
Callisto Vault is a private, encrypted platform where students can document an experience or explore their options — without pressure to report or take action. Using Callisto Vault does not notify your school, law enforcement, or anyone else. You can start, pause, or stop at any time.
Some people use the Matching option to find out whether someone else entered the same perpetrator and to explore what support may be available if there is a match. Others use Callisto Vault to create a secure, time-stamped record of what happened. Every step is optional, and control always stays with you.
*All survivors in the U.S. and its territories with an active .edu email address from any college have access to Callisto Vault — including students, staff, faculty, and even some alumni.
Our Tools
Callisto Vault consists of two tools: the Matching System & the Incident Log.
Survivors can use one or both.
Matching System
Callisto’s Matching System allows survivors to determine whether their perpetrator harmed others without having to publicly disclose or report to authorities. To enter into Matching, survivors only need to provide:
If 2 or more survivors enter the same unique identifier, a match occurs. All matched survivors are then notified separately and can meet with a confidential advocate to explore their options (if they choose).
Most people don’t receive a match right away, if at all. And that’s okay. Simply entering can be a risk-free way to take back your power and keep your options open.
Incident Log
Callisto’s Incident Log allows survivors to create a detailed and timestamped record of their sexual assault as they decide what steps, if any, they might like to take next. This tool can assist survivors in processing through trauma and can serve as a reference should they choose to report (now or in the future).
*A survivor doesn’t need to create an Incident Log to enter into Matching (or vice versa).
*Your information is encrypted before it’s stored.
Callisto Vault FAQs
-
No. Your information is encrypted and secure. The only person who will be notified is a confidential advocate if (and ONLY if) there is a match.
-
Absolutely! You can enter any perpetrator, as long as you know (or can find out) at least 1 unique identifier: phone, email, or social media handle.
-
While access is currently limited to those with an active .edu email, we encourage survivors to check with their school, as many can access to their .edu email longer than they realize. We are also working tirelessly to expand - and you can help!
