A real sense of privacy and security

We care about the privacy of our users and the security of our users’ personal information. As such, we use our Privacy Principles to guide how we approach privacy at Resistbot. In addition, our privacy policy spells out the details of what data we collect and why and how we use this data. Our Privacy Notice also describes how you may control your communications preferences and request that we delete your information.

Privacy Principles

We care about you and your privacy. While we are creating new ways for people to connect and be civically engaged, we understand the importance of allowing you to choose how your data is used and shared. To give you confidence in how we handle your data, we use the following principles to guide how we approach privacy at Resistbot:

You own and control your information

Your personal information and your data belong to you. You decide what information you want to share, and how to engage with others. You can also delete your data at any time.

We are transparent about what data we collect and why

We tell users about the personal information we collect and help them understand how it is used, and why. Being transparent means our users always have access to that information, and that is presented in a manner that all our users are able to understand.

We build with privacy top of mind

Since we started Resistbot, all of our design and infrastructure choices were made with privacy top of mind. This means we partner with privacy and security experts and build that perspective into every stage of the product development, and we only collect the minimum information needed to provide our services.

We don’t monetize your information

At Resistbot, we are fully committed to earning and keeping our users’ trust. As a matter of principle, and to align with our users’ expectation, we don’t sell any user personal information for profit.

We keep your information safe

We make it a priority to keep your information safe and are committed to acting responsibly with your data. We employ physical, administrative, and technological safeguards designed to preserve the integrity and security of your information.
