Privacy policy

Update 3/18/2026

MyDigitalCity.io – Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

MyDigitalCity.io (“the Platform”) is committed to protecting user privacy while enabling secure digital participation.

The Platform operates in a “Year Zero” beta phase, where systems are actively being developed with the goal of long-term decentralization.

2. Core Privacy Principle

Identity and participation are separated by design.

  • Identity data is stored separately from activity

  • Participation occurs through pseudonymous identifiers

  • Voting activity does not contain personal identity

3. Information Collected

A. Identity Data (Verified Users Only)

  • Name and basic identifying information

  • In-person verification confirmation

  • Membership status

Stored in a restricted identity layer.

B. Participation Data

  • Voting activity (pseudonymous)

  • Platform interactions

Does not include personally identifiable information.

C. Transaction Data

  • Membership payments ($11.11/year)

  • Entry fees ($9.99)

Used for validation, fraud detection, and system integrity.

4. Use of Information

Information is used to:

  • Verify participation eligibility

  • Maintain one-person-one-vote integrity

  • Detect fraud and anomalies

  • Operate and improve the Platform

5. Data Separation Architecture

The Platform uses node-based separation:

  • Identity Node: personal data (restricted access)

  • Participation Node(s): pseudonymous activity

  • Operational Layer: system coordination

This reduces risk and protects user privacy.

6. Data Sharing Policy

  • The Platform does not sell or distribute personal data

  • No voluntary sharing with third parties

  • Data is disclosed only if required by applicable law or for system security

7. User Data Rights

Users may:

  • Request access to their data

  • Request deletion of personal data

Data will be removed from active systems, with limited retention where necessary for:

  • Security

  • Fraud prevention

  • Legal compliance

8. Anomaly Detection & Security

The Platform uses:

  • Monitoring systems for unusual activity

  • Hashing and authentication methods

  • Controlled access to identity data

Identity data is only accessed when:

  • Anomalies are detected

  • Fraud is suspected

9. Non-Intrusive Advertising

The Platform maintains a non-intrusive advertising model:

  • No invasive tracking

  • No behavioral data sales

  • Minimal and respectful ad placement

10. Decentralization Commitment

The Platform is transitioning toward decentralization:

  • Current systems may include managed components

  • Future development aims to distribute control and reduce central dependencies

11. Data Retention

  • Identity data is retained only as necessary

  • Participation data may be stored in anonymized or pseudonymous form

12. Limitations

During the beta phase:

  • Systems may evolve

  • Features may change

  • Absolute security cannot be guaranteed

13. Updates

This policy may be updated as the Platform evolves. Continued use constitutes acceptance.

14. Contact

Users may contact the Platform through official MyDigitalCity.io channels for privacy-related requests.

Summary

MyDigitalCity.io protects identity by separating who you are from how you participate creating a secure, evolving foundation for digital civic engagement.
