Data Security Promise

CAST — DATA SECURITY & TRUST COMMITMENT
Last Updated: 12/7/2025

Cast is built on the principle that civic engagement requires trust. We commit to the following:

1. We Do Not Sell Your Data

No user information will ever be sold, rented, or traded — including to campaigns, PACs, political advertisers, data brokers, or analytics firms.

2. Your Data Belongs to You

You may access, export, or delete your data at any time by contacting us.
If you leave the platform, we delete your personally identifiable information.

3. Encryption & Access Control

• all data is encrypted in transit (HTTPS/TLS)
• sensitive data stored encrypted at rest
• access to production data is limited to essential personnel
• audit logs track access

4. Minimal Collection

We only collect data needed to provide personalization and civic insights.
No GPS tracking, background tracking, or third-party ad tracking.

5. Secure Infrastructure

Servers and data processing are hosted only with trusted providers meeting industry standards (SOC2, GDPR-compliant, etc.).

6. AI Privacy Standards

AI prompts never include unnecessary personal identifiers.
We restrict AI system logs to prevent misuse.

7. Transparency in Changes

If we ever alter how data is used, you will be notified and may opt out.

8. Breach Response Plan

In the unlikely event of a data breach:
• affected users will be notified promptly
• we will comply with all regulatory reporting obligations
• we will provide clear guidance on protective steps
