Sensitive information. We do not process sensitive information.
Payment data. If you make purchases, we may collect data necessary to process your payment, such as your payment instrument number and its associated security code.

Some information — such as your Internet Protocol (IP) address and browser and device characteristics — is collected automatically when you visit the Services. This information does not reveal your specific identity but may include device and usage information such as IP address, browser and device characteristics, operating system, language preferences, referring URLs, device name, country, location, and information about how and when you use the Services.

3. What legal bases do we rely on to process your information?

[object Object]
As a digital service provider operating in the EU, Civic Forecast affirms its compliance with the European Union Digital Services Act (EU Regulation 2022/2065). We provide accurate trader information to our platform partners, clearly identify commercial communications, provide clear pre-contractual information and accessible support, maintain internal procedures for complaint handling, moderation, and lawful takedown notices, and cooperate on audit and transparency requirements. A full record of our DSA policies is available on request from contact@civicforecast.com.
If you are located in Canada, we may process your information where you have given express or implied consent, and, in limited circumstances permitted by law, without your consent (for example, for fraud detection, investigations, or where required by law).
4. When and with whom do we share your personal information?
[object Object]
[object Object]
Civic Forecast is issue-first, not ad-first. We do not sell user-level data or run surveillance advertising in the web shell.
5. How long do we keep your information?
[object Object]
No purpose in this notice will require us to keep your personal information for longer than the period during which you have an account with us. When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will delete or anonymize it, or, if that is not possible (for example, because it is stored in backup archives), securely store and isolate it from further processing until deletion is possible.
6. How do we keep your information safe?
[object Object]
However, despite our safeguards, no electronic transmission over the Internet or information storage technology can be guaranteed to be 100% secure, so we cannot promise or guarantee that unauthorized third parties will never defeat our security. Transmission of personal information to and from the Services is at your own risk, and you should only access the Services within a secure environment.
7. What are your privacy rights?
[object Object]
These may include the right to request access to and a copy of your personal information, to request correction or erasure, to restrict processing, to data portability, and to object to processing. To make a request, contact us at contact@civicforecast.com, and we will act on it in accordance with applicable data protection laws.
If you are in the EEA or UK and believe we are unlawfully processing your personal information, you also have the right to complain to your local data protection supervisory authority.
Withdrawing your consent. If we rely on your consent, you can withdraw it at any time by contacting us — though this will not affect the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal.
Opting out of marketing. You can unsubscribe at any time via the unsubscribe link in our emails, by replying STOP or UNSUBSCRIBE to our SMS messages, or by contacting us. We may still send you service-related messages necessary to administer your account.
8. Controls for Do-Not-Track features
Most browsers and some mobile operating systems include a Do-Not-Track ("DNT") setting. No uniform standard for recognizing DNT signals has been finalized, so we do not currently respond to them. However, we do honor the Global Privacy Control (GPC) and similar Universal Opt-Out Mechanisms; when such a signal is detected, we apply your preferences in accordance with applicable state and global privacy regulations (see the Global Privacy Protocol section below).
9. Do California residents have specific privacy rights?
[object Object]
California Civil Code Section 1798.83 (the "Shine The Light" law) permits California residents to request, once a year and free of charge, information about the categories of personal information we disclosed to third parties for their direct marketing purposes. California residents under 18 with a registered account may request removal of data they have publicly posted.
The California Code of Regulations defines a "resident" as every individual in California for other than a temporary or transitory purpose, and every individual domiciled in California who is outside the state for a temporary or transitory purpose. We have collected the following categories of personal information in the past twelve (12) months:

Under the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), Colorado Privacy Act (CPA), Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act (VCDPA), Utah Consumer Privacy Act (UCPA), Connecticut Data Privacy Act (CTDPA), and similar state laws, residents of these states have additional rights. Unique identifiers such as IP addresses and device advertising IDs are collected to optimize your experience and filter fraudulent activity; electronic network activity and commercial information are for internal use only.
As a US resident, you may, twice every 12 months, request: a copy of the personal information we collected about you in the previous 12 months; details about the categories of information we collect, our sources, and our purposes; deletion of your personal information (subject to exemptions); and to opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information.
Civic Forecast has not sold personal information to third parties for a business or commercial purpose in the preceding twelve (12) months. To exercise these rights, contact us at contact@civicforecast.com. Upon receiving an opt-out request, we will act on it as soon as possible and no later than fifteen (15) days from submission. We will not discriminate against you for exercising your privacy rights.
