Privacy & Anonymous Data
CivicTally collects zero personally identifiable information. No names, emails, phone numbers, or accounts are required. Residents never log in.
When a resident casts a vote, the only data stored is:
Street segment ID — which street was voted on
Vote value — plowed or not plowed
Timestamp — when the vote was cast
Hashed IP prefix — truncated, one-way hash used solely for duplicate vote prevention; not stored long-term and cannot be reversed to identify a user
No cookies, no tracking pixels, no analytics SDKs, no third-party data sharing. There is nothing to breach because there is no personal data to steal.
Scalability & Reliability
Zero scaling configuration required. Cloudflare Workers auto-scale from 0 to millions of requests with no cold starts, no provisioning, and no capacity planning.
