Data Management

What we collect and why

1. Identity Verification

To submit evidence or log in, we verify your email or phone number. This prevents bot manipulation and keeps evidence records authentic. We do not sell or share phone logs.

2. Ballot Confidentiality

Your choices in mock polls are fully aggregated. We track whether an account has voted to lock their ballot, but we store individual selections anonymously so votes cannot be linked back to a phone or email.

3. Local Browser Storage

We store basic token keys locally to keep you logged in. No cross-site advertisement scripts or tracker pixels are embedded on our pages.

Citizen Rights

Your controls & transparency

4. Profile Deletion

You can request profile deletion at any time by contacting our moderation team. Comments or public evidence files you submitted will remain listed in the public database but will have your identifier removed.

5. Security Audits

All database traffic uses encrypted HTTPS protocols. Project records are archived using distributed databases, preventing central points of failure or data alteration.
