Privacy Policy
Your privacy and trust matter. This policy explains how Evidence Atlas handles your data responsibly.
Introduction
How we protect your information and what this policy covers.
This Privacy Policy describes how Evidence Atlas ("we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, and protects your personal information when you use our services. We are committed to safeguarding your privacy and being transparent about the data we process.
Information We Collect
Personal Information
We collect data you provide directly, such as email addresses for Founding Access, profile information you choose to submit, and evidence submissions. This information is used only for platform functionality and communication.
Usage Data
We automatically collect usage information when you interact with our site (e.g., pages visited, time spent). This helps us improve features and performance but does not contain identifiable personal data by default.
Evidence Metadata
When submitting evidence, metadata (who, when, where) is stored to ensure traceability and transparency. This metadata is visible to other users per platform norms.
How We Use Your Information
We use personal information to:
- Create and manage your account and Founding Access.
- Enable evidence submissions, claims creation, and community interactions.
- Communicate important updates, policy changes, and service notices.
Data Security & Protection
We implement industry-standard security measures to protect data integrity and prevent unauthorized access. While no system is entirely secure, we continuously improve protection techniques.
Your Choices
You may choose how your data is displayed or shared by adjusting your account settings or contacting support for assistance with removal of certain data, subject to our retention policies and legal requirements.
