Privacy Policy

Last Updated: February 2026

1. Data Minimization Principle

CivicSens is engineered to operate on minimum viable data. We collect only what is strictly necessary to route and resolve civic infrastructure anomalies. Your identity is cryptographic and anonymized before entering the AI classification queue.

2. Information Collection

  • Geospatial Data: Precise coordinates are required to pinpoint infrastructure decay.
  • Visual Matrices: Uploaded images are scrubbed of EXIF metadata prior to storage.
  • Authentication: Email addresses are utilized solely for session integrity and status notifications.

3. Data Retention

Resolved reports enter a cold-storage ledger for historical pattern analysis. Personally Identifiable Information (PII) linked to these reports is purged 30 days post-resolution in compliance with standard GDPR guidelines.
