Privacy Policy

Effective date: May 22, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Quito-2026 Listening handles information in connection with its internal public social listening, content discovery, ad swipe, and creative strategy workflows.

Information We Process

The application may process the following categories of information:

Public post, video, ad, and article URLs.
Public usernames, handles, display names, profile URLs, captions, titles, and snippets.
Public engagement metrics such as views, likes, comments count, shares, saves, and follower counts.
Public comments when available through official APIs, approved providers, CSV imports, or manual paste.
Manual notes, keyword matches, relevance scores, ad swipe scores, and internal analysis outputs.
Authorized user account information, such as email address, role, and audit activity.

Sources of Information

Information may come from official APIs, permitted platform integrations, approved third-party listening providers, RSS feeds, manual link imports, manual comment paste, CSV imports, and user-provided campaign research notes. When platform access is restricted, the application uses manual or approved import workflows.

How We Use Information

The application uses information to:

Discover and organize public Quito-related political, civic, and city-problem content.
Track public narratives, candidates, opponents, monitored sources, ads, and issue trends.
Analyze public comments, emotion, repeated language, threats, opportunities, and creative formats.
Generate internal reports, recommendations, rebuttal ideas, hooks, scripts, and ad swipe notes.
Maintain security, authentication, role permissions, audit logs, and operational reliability.

TikTok Research API Data

If TikTok Research API access is enabled, the application requests permitted public Research API data using server-side credentials and short-lived access tokens. The application does not authenticate TikTok users, post content to TikTok, access private messages, or attempt to access private TikTok data.

AI Processing

The application may send selected public content metadata, captions, comments, metrics, keywords, and internal notes to an AI provider to generate summaries, classifications, scores, and strategy recommendations. Users should avoid entering unnecessary personal, sensitive, or private information into manual notes or imports.

Sharing

Information is used for internal campaign research and strategy workflows. The application may share data with configured service providers needed to operate the system, such as hosting, database, authentication, API, analytics, AI, and approved listening providers. The application does not sell personal information.

Data Retention

Data is retained for as long as needed for campaign research, reporting, compliance, audit, security, and operational purposes, unless an administrator deletes it or legal requirements require a different retention period.

Security

The application uses role-based access, server-side API credentials, environment variables, and database security controls. Users must not share credentials, API keys, exported data, or access links with unauthorized parties.

Your Choices

Authorized users may contact the application administrator to request account access changes, role changes, or removal of internal user account data, subject to campaign, legal, and security requirements.

Changes

This Privacy Policy may be updated as integrations, providers, platform rules, or legal requirements change. Continued use of the application after updates means you accept the revised policy.

For privacy questions, contact the Quito-2026 Listening application administrator or the official campaign operations contact responsible for this deployment.
