VOTARI

Privacy Policy

Effective Date: 11 September 2025 | Last Updated: 20 December 2025

At Votari, protecting your privacy is not just a policy — it’s a core design principle. Our platform is built so that raw identity data never leaves your device. Sensitive information stays under your control, protected by your device’s secure hardware.

What We Collect

On-device identity checks: Passport, biometric, and other identity data are processed entirely on your device and never sent to Votari servers.

Functional service data: APIs handle election functionality but only see cryptographic commitments, anonymized proofs, or transaction metadata.

Basic contact details: If you join our waitlist, request info, or contact support, we may store your name, email, or message.

Public blockchain data: Election metadata and vote proofs are published on Bitcoin SV — public and immutable, but not personally identifying.

How We Use Information

To respond to enquiries or support requests.
To provide product updates if you’ve opted in.
To improve functionality, performance, and security.
To meet legal and regulatory obligations.
Votari does not monitor or track which elections you create or join.

What We Don’t Do

We do not store raw passport, biometric, or identity data.
We do not sell, rent, or trade your information.
We do not build profiles of voters or organizers.

Data Security

Identity checks use your device’s secure hardware (e.g., Secure Enclave).
Sensitive election data is committed to the blockchain in encrypted/anonymized form.
API services are protected with TLS, access controls, and monitoring.
We align with GDPR and ISO 27001 principles.

Authentication and Security

Votari uses Face ID or device passcode solely to authenticate the device owner and control access to the app.
All biometric or Face ID authentication is performed entirely by iOS on your device.
Votari does not receive, collect, store, or process biometric data.

Data We Do Not Collect

Votari does not collect biometric information, including facial images, face scans, or face recognition data.
We do not receive or store any biometric identifiers from your device at any stage.
