1.1 Privacy by Design
iGov.Direct only stores what is needed for digital democracy to work. A member who submits a proposal or submits an objection to a proposal is shown with name and picture. This is done to stop trolling and increase trust. To avoid storing sensitive personal data, iGov.Direct don't require and therefor does not store contact or address information (such as e-mail, home adress, mobile numbers, etc.).

We use Google Analytics, the most widely used website statistics service. It integrates with Google AdWords that we use for advertising on Google's search engine. Read Google's Privacy Policy

1.3 Payment Platform (third-party)
iGov.Direct Foundation uses Stripe, Google, Apple for payments, hence never have access to card data at all.

1.4 Back End as a Service (third-party)
We use Google Firebase for authentification, analytics and databases. Being a part of the Google Cloud Platform this means very high security in accordance with GDPR.

1.5 Information Security
To prevent attempts to manipulate or interfere with the voting system, we encrypt all traffic sent over the Internet.

THE FOUNDATION FOR DIGITAL DEMOCRACY

2.0 Voter Registration
To be allowed to vote on Bills for Parliament, the Foundation needs to make sure you are a UK citizen and of voting age. The Foundation verifies this by scanning the chip that resides in your passport. We store your passport number, name, and photo. Read more about why its safe under "How it works".

2.1 Delete Account (coming soon)
Deleting your voting account will remove access to your account. Any passed votes will still be stored. Members who have written motions or objections will still exist with name and photo.

2.2 Voting Period
Each revion of a motion has period during which eligible voters can vote for it or vote on a objection against it. During this time is possible to change your vote.

2.3 Auditing (coming soon)
Allows voters to verify votes in the voting files. When voting period has ended, we store a hash of a vote file permanetly in a Blockchain (the same technology that powers Bitcoin). A blockchain is a digitized, decentralized and public ledger. It ensures there can be no post-voting manipulation.

2.4 Changes
Our Privacy Policy may change from time to time. Any significant change will be shown in the app.
