Privacy Policy
Effective Date: [Insert Date] | Last Updated: [Insert Date]
Plain-Language Privacy Summary
- You can access survivor-facing resources without creating an account.
- We do not require your name, email, or phone number to browse resources.
- We do not initiate follow-up contact with survivor users who use resources anonymously.
- We use limited anonymous analytics (for example, device type, page visits, city-level location, and returning session patterns) to measure impact and improve services.
1) Privacy-First Design
Persephone's Promise is built to prioritize survivor choice, safety, and privacy. Core survivor resource access is available without account creation.
2) Information We Collect
A) Information we generally do not collect from survivor users
- Name
- Personal email address
- Personal phone number
- Home mailing address
- Account credentials for anonymous browsing
B) Technical and analytics data we collect
To understand impact, improve service delivery, and protect platform reliability, we may collect:
- IP address (or equivalent network identifier)
- Device and browser characteristics, including device type
- City-level location (derived from IP or submitted context)
- Page visits and basic activity events
- Session identifiers that help estimate returning usage
- Interaction metadata related to resource usage
3) Why We Collect This Data
- Measure whether survivors are finding meaningful resources
- Improve quality and availability of listings
- Identify service and geographic coverage gaps
- Support partnership planning and impact reporting in aggregate form
4) Referral and Partner Measurement
We may work with partner organizations to understand referral outcomes (for example, partner-reported counts of people who found services through Persephone's Promise). Where possible, this is done through aggregated or de-identified reporting rather than direct survivor identity sharing.
5) Resource Ratings and Comments
If feedback features are available, users may post anonymously or with a self-selected identifier such as initials, first name, or an alias. Please avoid posting sensitive personal details in comments.
6) Information Sharing
We do not sell personal information. We may share limited data:
- With service providers that help operate the platform
- With analytics and infrastructure providers under safeguards
- When legally required by law, process, or regulation
- In aggregated or de-identified form for impact and service planning
7) Data Retention
We retain data only as long as reasonably necessary for operations, safety, legal compliance, and impact analysis. Retention periods may vary by data type.
8) Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect data. No system can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.
9) Your Choices
You can use core survivor-facing resource features without creating an account. You may also limit some browser-based tracking through browser settings, which can affect functionality.
10) Children's Privacy
The Service is intended for broad public access to safety resources and is not directed to children under 13 as a standalone youth platform.
11) Regional Rights
Depending on your location, you may have legal rights regarding personal data, such as access, deletion, correction, or objection. Privacy requests can be submitted through our contact channel.
12) Changes to this Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy. The Last Updated date reflects the most current version.
