This Privacy Policy explains how VoteCore OS ("we", "us", or "our"), including our mobile applications (VoteCore Candidate OS and VoteCore Agent), collects, uses, processes, and protects your information when you use our election campaign operations and booth management platform.
Key Commitment: VoteCore OS is dedicated to organizational and electoral confidentiality. We do not sell, rent, or monetize your personal data or your constituency voter records to any third parties or advertisers.
1. Information We Collect
We collect information to authenticate authorized users, manage campaign operations, and coordinate field agents effectively:
- Account & Profile Information: Full name, phone number, email address, assigned booth/constituency role, and encrypted authentication credentials.
- Location Data (Field Agents & Volunteers): With your explicit runtime permission, the VoteCore Agent app may access approximate or precise location solely to verify attendance at assigned polling booths, log voter surveys, and assist with field coordination during campaigns. Location tracking can be enabled or disabled via device settings at any time.
- Device & Media Permissions:
- Camera / Photos / Storage: Used strictly when authorized agents upload campaign photos, survey attachments, or update profile avatars.
- Network & Internet: Used to securely synchronize live voter turnout, in-app agent chat, and booth incident reports with the centralized campaign dashboard.
- Campaign & Voter Operations Data: Informational records managed by campaign tenants regarding voter outreach status, booth metrics, and event logistics as authorized by the campaign organization.
2. How We Use Collected Information
We use the collected information exclusively for authorized campaign operations:
- To verify user identities and assign secure role-based access (Candidate, Tenant Admin, Polling Booth Officer, Field Agent).
- To provide real-time war room monitoring, booth-level voter turnout metrics, and emergency incident dispatch.
- To facilitate secure peer-to-peer and broadcast messaging between campaign candidates and field workers.
- To protect system integrity, prevent unauthorized intrusion, and audit critical operational activities.
3. Data Sharing and Disclosure
We do not share your personal information with external marketers, commercial data brokers, or advertisers. Information is only shared under the following limited circumstances:
- With Your Authorized Campaign Organization: Data entered into the platform is accessible to authorized campaign administrators and candidates managing your specific constituency.
- Legal & Regulatory Compliance: If required by applicable law, court order, or governmental authorities to comply with legitimate legal processes.
4. Data Security
We implement stringent technical and organizational security measures to protect your data:
- All communications between client devices and our servers are encrypted using modern Transport Layer Security (TLS/HTTPS).
- Passwords and sensitive tokens are salted and hashed using industry-standard cryptographic algorithms.
- Access controls enforce strict tenant isolation, ensuring constituency data is restricted exclusively to authorized personnel.
5. Data Retention and Account Deletion
We retain account and operational information for the duration of the campaign service agreement. Users may request account deletion or data purge at any time:
To request deletion of your account or associated operational data, contact your campaign administrator or email us directly at support@votecoreos.in with the subject line "Account Deletion Request". We will process verified requests within 30 business days.
6. Children's Privacy
VoteCore OS and its mobile applications are intended exclusively for adult campaign staff, candidates, and election volunteers. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 18.
