Privacy Policy
What information Civic Pulse collects, how it is used, where it is stored and how you can update or delete it.
Last updated 14 August 2026
Information we collect
We collect account details, the demographic information you provide, poll responses, and technical information needed to operate and secure Civic Pulse.
How information is used
Information is used to provide the service, calculate aggregate poll results, improve Civic Pulse, and protect the platform. Poll reporting uses aggregate, de-identified data.
Storage and sharing
Data is stored on Australian servers. Individual poll responses are not sold. Aggregate, de-identified results may be shared for research and publication.
Your choices
You can update your demographic information or delete your account from Account settings in the app. Deleting removes your name, email and device data, and keeps your poll answers and demographics anonymously so published results do not change. Email privacy@australianpulse.com.au to request erasure of your answers as well.
Retention
Research data is retained for no longer than 7 years and is then securely deleted.
