Privacy notice
Privacy, in plain language.
This notice covers the Statelyn website and the hosted preview. Last updated November 8, 2026.
What we collect
- Demo requests and contact messages. Your name, work email, organization, role, an optional population figure and your message. We also keep a one-way hash of your network address and your browser name, only to stop spam.
- Preview accounts. Email address, display name, a hashed password, sign-in times and failed sign-in counts.
- Records you add in the preview. Documents, commitments, departments and the audit log of actions taken. The hosted preview is meant for synthetic data only.
- Cookies. One session cookie that keeps you signed in. No advertising or analytics cookies.
How we use it
- To reply to you and arrange demos.
- To run the preview: sign-in, permissions, and keeping each organization's data separate.
- To keep an audit trail, which is a security feature towns expect.
We do not sell personal information. We do not add you to a mailing list. We do not use uploaded documents to train AI models.
Who can see it
Members of an organization see only that organization's data, based on their role. Demo requests and contact messages are visible only to the Statelyn team. The preview runs on rented hosting; a list of service providers will be published before a production pilot.
How long we keep it
Demo requests and messages are kept until we no longer need them to follow up, and at most two years. Preview data can be reset at any time. Retention settings for each town are planned.
Your choices
You can ask us to see, correct or delete your information through the contact page.
Public records
Records a town keeps in Statelyn may be public records under your state's public records law. Each town stays responsible for answering public records requests about its own data.
