Controlled Beta privacy
Privacy Notice
Citizen Authority uses only the information needed to operate beta civic-information features, protect accounts, and keep public participation tied to eligible people and jurisdictions.
Information handled during beta
Citizen Authority may process account information, privacy preferences, jurisdiction or residency eligibility information, verification status and metadata, user-submitted civic activity, beta feedback, security/audit records, operational diagnostics, and limited usage data actually collected by the app.
Private account, security, verification, and residence details are not published merely because a user participates in public civic features.
Verification privacy
Identity or residency verification is not a general public disclosure system. Where verification is used, Citizen Authority is designed to retain only the results and metadata needed for eligibility, security, audit, and fraud prevention.
Production third-party identity verification has not been activated. If a provider is later selected, its processing must be disclosed separately from what Citizen Authority stores.
Public activity
Content a tester intentionally submits to public civic surfaces, such as comments, ratings, poll participation, or correction material, may become visible according to that feature and the tester's privacy settings.
Public aggregate poll and rating results are not official votes, elections, or government results, and private response-integrity material is not shown publicly.
Data sharing and sale
Citizen Authority does not claim to sell user personal information, and beta copy must not imply advertisers receive private account, verification, residence, or conversation data.
Provider secrets, authentication tokens, private verification artifacts, and exact residence information must not be included in public pages, beta feedback packets, or diagnostic evidence.
