Working draft. This page is live, and an attorney hasn't reviewed it yet. We'll update it after review and note what changed.

This site has no accounts, cookies, ads or analytics.

ZIP code: it's checked in your browser and isn't sent to us.
3Dpolitics preview: your answers stay in your browser, and aren't sent or saved.
Correction form: we store what you write and the page it's about, so please leave out your name and contact details. We can't reply to it for now.
Standard records: our hosting provider, Amazon Web Services, handles your connection, and may keep technical records of requests for security.

This policy will be updated before anything here changes. The plan is:

Your identity is kept apart from your answers, and your answers carry a separate ID. That makes participation pseudonymous, not anonymous.
The volunteers who verify you see your name and view your ID, without copying it. They don't see your answers.
Officials never see who said what, and small groups aren't published.
Plainly: the people who run the system, including anyone with administrator access to our cloud accounts, could technically connect your identity to your answers. Access is limited and logged, but that's different from impossible.
When identity could be unsealed, for example under legal process, will be stated here once an attorney has advised.

You can use the correction form to raise an issue with this policy.
