Data Privacy | Review Your Politician
Posted by Review Your Politician on March 4th, 2020
Our service gives voters the tools to make informed voting decisions, and for politicians who want to engage with their voters authentically. The integrity of the information on our platform is integral to the aims of our service. We work hard to keep data safe – for everyone. We’re transparent in how we collect, use and protect this information. We would love to hear from you with any suggestions, feedback or questions.
Our mission is to bring voters and politicians together and to ensure all services are communicated accurately and fairly on Review Your Politician. Here are the core principles and practices that ensure the trust and integrity of the information on our service.
Verified Reviews
It's only by putting truth and trust at the heart of our service can we give voters the tools to make informed voting decisions. To submit a review, we require verification via email, SMS (text) message or Facebook.
Trusted Reviews
Our dedicated team works hard to protect our service from fake reviews. We use a combination of technology, human judgment and a range of data to combat fake reviews. Real people, working alongside smart technology.
Privacy Protection
Review Your Politician prioritizes data privacy at all stages of our service. We'll share with the politician your first name, your review and general geographical location. Your full name, telephone number, email address, specific address and Facebook details will not be shared.
Secure Communication
We use an SSL connection on www.reviewyourpolitician.com and all connected sub-domains. SSL is the industry-approved security technology for establishing an encrypted connection for communications. Any information you provide or access to our system remains private.
Unbiased & UnInfluenced
We're a 100% non-partisan service, not associated with, or supported by, any single political party, outside organization or otherwise. Politicians, or outside organization, can't - and will never - influence reviews published. We don't allow anyone to submit a review if they've been offered an incentive - such as money in exchange for a positive review.
Data Security & Safeguards
With the help of Cloudflare, other third-party technologies, and alongside using SSL encryption, we implement the enterprise-grade Web Application Firewall (WAF) on our website and services - guarding against hacks, malware, DDoS attacks, and preventing attackers from compromising sensitive user data.
