Privacy Policy

Effective Date: July 16, 2026

The .one Foundation ("the Foundation," ".one," "we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy.

The Foundation believes that civic signal is a public good and individual identity is private. We collect only the information reasonably necessary to operate this website, improve the .one project, and protect the integrity of participation.

What Information We Collect

Depending on how you use this website, we may collect:

  • Information you voluntarily provide, such as your name or email address when contacting us or joining a mailing list.
  • Civic expressions, feedback, or test submissions made through the Civic Signal Engine or other prototype features.
  • Technical information such as browser type, device information, IP address, and usage logs used for security and performance.

How We Use Information

We use information to:

  • operate and improve the website;
  • respond to inquiries;
  • develop and test Civic Grammar and civic measurement technologies;
  • improve AI-assisted canonicalization and semantic matching;
  • protect the website from abuse or misuse;
  • communicate important updates about the project.

We do not sell personal information or use it for advertising.

AI Processing

If you submit civic expressions through the Civic Signal Engine, your submission may be processed by artificial intelligence to:

  • identify civic intent;
  • recommend Civic Functions;
  • reduce ambiguity;
  • improve Civic Grammar;
  • evaluate semantic similarity.

AI-generated results are experimental and are intended to assist development of the platform.

Public and Private Information

The Foundation may publish aggregated or anonymized findings generated during research and testing.

Personally identifying information will not be intentionally published without your consent unless required by law.

Cookies

This website may use cookies or similar technologies to maintain functionality, improve security, and understand general website usage.

We do not use cookies for behavioral advertising or commercial profiling.

Data Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect the information we collect. No online service can guarantee absolute security.

Your Choices

You may contact us to:

  • request access to personal information we hold about you;
  • request correction of inaccurate information;
  • request deletion of your personal information, subject to applicable legal obligations.
