Privacy Policy
Last updated: April 19, 2025
Civica Ratio is committed to respecting your privacy. We believe systems should earn trust — not extract it. This policy outlines what data we collect (very little), how we use it, and how we protect your information.
What We Collect
We intentionally limit the data we collect. By default, we do not collect:
- Personal information (unless you provide it)
- Biometric data
- Sensitive identifiers
The only data we may collect includes:
- Basic site analytics (anonymous and aggregate only)
- Email addresses (if you choose to subscribe or contact us)
- Information you choose to share via contact or intake forms
We do not use ad trackers or third-party behavioral profiling tools.
How We Use It
If you share your information with us, we will only use it for:
- Direct communication with you (if initiated)
- Sharing updates, essays, or briefings (if you opt in)
- Processing advisory, speaking, or collaboration requests
We do not sell, rent, or share your data with third parties.
How We Store and Protect It
All data is stored securely and access is restricted.
If at any point you want your information deleted, just ask. We’ll confirm when it’s been removed.
Your Rights
You have the right to:
- Know what data we hold
- Correct or update your data
- Request deletion at any time
- Opt out of future contact
To make a request, contact us at the contact information provided in previous communication with you.
Cookies + Tracking
This site uses minimal, privacy-respecting cookies.
Third-Party Tools
If we use tools like Substack or Notion for publishing or communication, they may have their own privacy policies. We only use tools that offer ethical data practices.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy over time. If we do, we’ll post the new version here with a new date.
Our Philosophy
Civica Ratio exists to challenge extractive systems — and that includes how data is collected. We believe privacy is not a preference. It’s a public right.
We collect as little as possible.
We use it as carefully as possible.
And we build with intention.
