This Privacy Policy explains how Democracy 2028 collects, uses, stores, shares, protects, and manages information when you access or use our website, mobile applications, candidate pages, livestreams, virtual town halls, debates, messaging tools, audio and video calling tools, fact-checking services, payment services, notification systems, and related services.

By using Democracy 2028, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, you should not use the platform.

This Privacy Policy should be reviewed by an attorney before publication, especially because Democracy 2028 involves political communication, candidate profiles, constituent subscriptions, paid services, fact-checking, public candidate information, and election-related activity.

1. About Democracy 2028

Democracy 2028 is a political social media and civic communication platform designed to allow verified politicians, candidates, campaigns, and public officials to communicate directly with constituents.

Democracy 2028 allows approved and verified politicians to post profiles, news, events, livestreams, videos, images, text posts, policy statements, announcements, and other public communications.

Constituents may subscribe to candidate pages, receive notifications, comment on posts, like posts, attend virtual town halls and debates, and view candidate information. Constituents do not create full public social media profiles for themselves.

Democracy 2028 may automatically create public candidate profiles for individuals running for President of the United States, United States Senate, United States House of Representatives, and other offices selected by Democracy 2028. These profiles may be maintained by Democracy 2028 until the candidate, campaign, or authorized representative claims and subscribes to the page.

2. Scope of This Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy applies to information collected through Democracy 2028, including but not limited to the Democracy 2028 website, mobile applications, candidate pages, constituent subscriptions, comments, likes, messaging tools, notification tools, audio calls, video calls, livestreams, virtual town halls, candidate debates, fact-checking requests, payment services, candidate verification systems, customer support communications, emails, SMS messages, push notifications, platform analytics, security tools, and any other service operated by Democracy 2028.

This Privacy Policy does not apply to third-party websites, campaign websites, donation platforms, payment processors, social media platforms, news websites, government websites, or external services that Democracy 2028 does not own or control.

3. Information We Collect

Democracy 2028 collects information based on how you use the platform. The information we collect may include information you provide directly, information collected automatically, information obtained from public sources, information provided by candidates or campaigns, information created through your activity on the platform, and information received from service providers or third parties that help us operate the platform.

4. Information Collected From Constituents

When you use Democracy 2028 as a constituent, viewer, subscriber, commenter, event attendee, or member of the public, we may collect your name, email address, phone number, username, account identifier, password or login credentials, candidate pages you subscribe to, posts you like, comments you submit, events you attend, livestreams you view, notifications you open or interact with, messages or communications sent through the platform, audio or video call participation information, device information, IP address, browser type, operating system, approximate location based on IP address, login history, platform usage activity, security and fraud-prevention data, communication preferences, payment information if you purchase paid services, and any other information you choose to provide.

Constituents do not create full public profiles like candidates. However, certain information, such as your name, username, comments, likes, event participation, or interactions, may be visible depending on platform settings and the features you use.

5. Information Collected From Candidates, Campaigns, and Verified Politicians

When a candidate, campaign, elected official, political committee, or authorized representative uses Democracy 2028, we may collect the candidate’s name, campaign name, office sought, district or jurisdiction, political party affiliation if publicly provided or submitted, campaign website, campaign email address, campaign phone number, campaign mailing address, candidate biography, candidate image, headshot, logo, campaign branding, policy statements, public announcements, event information, videos, images, text posts, livestreams, verification documents, government-issued identification if required for verification, campaign committee information, authorized representative information, payment and billing information, subscription plan information, fact-checking requests, communications with constituents, audio and video call usage, livestream activity, debate and town hall participation, account login and security information, device and browser information, IP address, analytics and engagement data, customer support communications, and any other information submitted to Democracy 2028.

Candidate information may be public by nature and may be displayed on candidate pages, event pages, debate pages, fact-checking pages, search results, platform directories, promotional materials, public civic information pages, or other parts of Democracy 2028.

6. Publicly Available Candidate Information

Democracy 2028 may collect, display, organize, and maintain publicly available information about candidates, campaigns, elected officials, political committees, public offices, and political races.

This information may include candidate name, office sought, district or jurisdiction, political party affiliation, campaign website, campaign social media links, public campaign biography, public campaign photographs, public statements, public event information, public news or press releases, public election filings, public government records, public debate information, public forum information, and other lawful public information.

Democracy 2028 may use this information to create unclaimed candidate pages for civic, informational, public-interest, and election-related purposes.

A candidate’s appearance on Democracy 2028 does not mean that Democracy 2028 endorses, supports, opposes, verifies every statement made by, or is affiliated with that candidate.

7. Automatically Created Candidate Profiles

Democracy 2028 may automatically create candidate profiles for candidates running for public office, including candidates for President of the United States, United States Senate, United States House of Representatives, and other offices selected by Democracy 2028.

These automatically created profiles may be based on public information, campaign information, election records, public websites, public news, press releases, public filings, official government records, or other lawful sources.

Until a candidate, campaign, or authorized representative claims and subscribes to the profile, Democracy 2028 may maintain the page independently. Candidates may request to claim, correct, update, or verify their profile according to Democracy 2028’s candidate verification process.

Democracy 2028 reserves the right to maintain unclaimed candidate pages for public information purposes, subject to applicable law.

8. Information Collected Through Candidate Verification

To protect platform integrity and prevent impersonation, Democracy 2028 may require candidates, campaigns, elected officials, and authorized representatives to complete a verification process.

Verification information may include legal name, date of birth, government-issued identification, campaign authorization documents, campaign committee records, official campaign email address, official government or campaign phone number, candidate website domain verification, proof of candidacy, public office records, authorized representative documents, business or organization records, billing information, and other documentation reasonably necessary to confirm identity or authority.

Verification information is used to confirm identity, prevent fraud, prevent impersonation, protect voters, protect candidates, protect the public, and maintain the credibility of Democracy 2028.

9. Information Collected Through Constituent Subscriptions

When a constituent subscribes to a candidate page, Democracy 2028 may collect and store the candidate page subscribed to, date and time of subscription, communication preferences, notification history, engagement with candidate posts, event attendance, comments, likes, messages sent through the platform, unsubscribe activity, device information, and account information.

By subscribing to a candidate page, you understand that the candidate or campaign may be able to communicate with you through Democracy 2028’s approved platform tools.

10. Information Collected Through Comments, Likes, and Engagement

When you comment on a candidate post, like a post, attend an event, submit a question, participate in a livestream, or interact with candidate content, Democracy 2028 may collect information related to that activity.

Depending on platform settings, comments and likes may be visible to candidates, campaigns, Democracy 2028 administrators, moderators, other users, or the public.

12. Audio and Video Calls

Democracy 2028 may offer one-on-one audio calls, one-on-one video calls, group calls, or similar communication tools between candidates and constituents.

Democracy 2028 may record, monitor, or store calls only where legally permitted, disclosed, or necessary for safety, compliance, quality assurance, dispute resolution, fraud prevention, platform integrity, or enforcement of our Terms and Conditions.

Users should not record calls unless they comply with all applicable laws and provide any required notice or consent.

13. Livestreams, Town Halls, and Debates

When you attend, host, participate in, or view a livestream, virtual town hall, debate, or event, Democracy 2028 may collect registration information, attendance information, viewing activity, questions submitted, comments posted, likes, reactions, device and connection information, event participation data, recordings, transcripts, clips, moderation reports, payment information if the event is paid, and technical logs.

Events may be recorded, archived, replayed, promoted, clipped, distributed, or publicly displayed by Democracy 2028, candidates, campaigns, or authorized partners, depending on the nature of the event, applicable law, and applicable terms.

14. Fact-Checking Service Information

Democracy 2028 may offer fee-based fact-checking services to candidates, campaigns, political organizations, or approved users.

15. Payment and Billing Information

If you purchase a subscription, pay to claim a candidate page, request fact-checking services, pay for events, purchase promotional services, or use other paid features, we may collect billing name, billing address, email address, phone number, payment method details, transaction amount, subscription plan, invoice history, payment status, tax-related information, refund information, and dispute information.

This information helps us operate, secure, improve, analyze, troubleshoot, and protect the platform.

This may include subscriber count, subscriber name or username, contact options within the platform, engagement data, comment history on that candidate’s page, event attendance related to that candidate, notification engagement, and other platform-approved information.

Candidates and campaigns may only use constituent information for lawful campaign, civic, political, public-service, or constituent communication purposes.

Candidates and campaigns may not sell constituent information, share constituent information with unauthorized third parties, use constituent data for unlawful discrimination, use constituent data for voter intimidation, use constituent data for voter suppression, use constituent data to harass or threaten individuals, export data without authorization, scrape or harvest platform data, create unauthorized external databases, or use data in violation of privacy, election, campaign finance, communications, or consumer protection laws.

Democracy 2028 may suspend or terminate candidate access to constituent information if we believe the information has been misused.

20. Candidate Communications to Constituents

When you subscribe to a candidate page, you authorize Democracy 2028 to deliver communications from that candidate or campaign to you through platform-approved methods.

These communications may include new post notifications, livestream alerts, event invitations, town hall notices, debate notices, campaign updates, policy statements, video post alerts, image post alerts, text post alerts, audio or video call invitations, candidate messages, and platform announcements related to that candidate page.

Certain transactional, security, legal, or account-related messages may still be sent even if you opt out of promotional or candidate-related communications.

21. Email, SMS, and Push Notifications

Democracy 2028 may send communications by email, SMS, push notification, in-app message, or other electronic means.

Democracy 2028 may share information with candidates and campaigns, service providers, payment processors, fact-checking reviewers, legal authorities, law enforcement, election authorities where legally permitted, cybersecurity providers, business transaction parties, and other parties with your consent or as permitted by law.

If you subscribe to, comment on, like, attend events for, or interact with a candidate page, certain information may be shared with that candidate or campaign through approved platform tools.

If Democracy 2028 is involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, investment, sale of assets, reorganization, bankruptcy, or similar transaction, information may be transferred as part of that transaction.

23. We Do Not Sell Personal Information

Democracy 2028 does not sell personal information in the ordinary meaning of selling personal information for money.

Democracy 2028 will not sell constituent personal information to candidates, campaigns, advertisers, political parties, data brokers, or third parties.

However, certain privacy laws define “sale” or “sharing” broadly. Some analytics, advertising, or tracking activities could be considered “sharing” under certain laws. Democracy 2028 will provide required privacy choices where applicable.

24. Political Data and Sensitive Information

Because Democracy 2028 is a political platform, your use of the platform may reveal political interests, candidate preferences, campaign engagement, or issue interests.

For example, if you subscribe to a candidate page, comment on a post, attend a campaign event, or receive candidate notifications, that activity may suggest political interests or affiliations.

Democracy 2028 treats this information carefully and uses it only as described in this Privacy Policy, our Terms and Conditions, and applicable law.

Users should understand that comments, likes, event participation, and other interactions may be visible to candidates, campaigns, Democracy 2028 administrators, moderators, other users, or the public depending on platform settings.

28. Artificial Intelligence and Automated Tools

Democracy 2028 may use automated tools, artificial intelligence, machine learning, or similar technologies to support candidate profile creation, candidate verification review, content moderation, spam detection, fraud detection, security monitoring, fact-checking support, search features, platform analytics, customer support, accessibility features, translation, transcription, event summaries, and abuse prevention.

Democracy 2028 does not use sensitive information for purposes that are incompatible with providing, securing, or improving the platform unless permitted by law or with consent.

43. Do Not Track and Opt-Out Signals

Some browsers offer “Do Not Track” signals. Because there is not yet a uniform legal or technical standard for responding to these signals, Democracy 2028 may not respond to all Do Not Track signals.

Even if a candidate cancels a subscription, withdraws from a race, loses an election, or requests account closure, Democracy 2028 may retain certain public content where permitted by law and consistent with platform policies.

49. No Guarantee of Complete Removal

Because information on Democracy 2028 may be public, shared, indexed, archived, cached, screenshotted, recorded, or copied by others, Democracy 2028 cannot guarantee complete removal of information from the internet.
