Privacy Policy
Your privacy is our priority
Last updated: August 28, 2025
Our Commitment to Your Privacy
At CIVIX, we believe privacy is a fundamental right. This Privacy Policy explains our commitment to protecting your personal information and maintaining your trust while you use our privacy education platform.
Hosting Platform Data Collection
Our website is hosted on AWS Amplify, which automatically collects certain technical data for service operation:
• IP addresses: Used for routing requests and geographic distribution
• Request URLs: Which pages and resources you access on our site
• User-Agent strings: Browser and device information for content delivery
• HTTP response codes: Technical status of your requests (200, 404, etc.)
• Request timestamps: When you access our content
• Geographic location: Derived from IP address for content delivery optimization
This data is collected automatically by AWS's infrastructure and is governed by Amazon's Privacy Policy. We do not have direct access to or control over this infrastructure-level data collection.
What We Don't Collect
At the application level, we pride ourselves on minimal data collection:
• No application-level visitor tracking: We do not implement custom analytics or tracking
• No third-party analytics: We do not use Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, or similar services
• No tracking cookies: We do not set any cookies for tracking or advertising purposes
• No personal profiling: We do not create behavioral profiles or track your interests
Data Stored on Your Device
We store the following data locally in your browser to enhance your experience:
IndexedDB Storage:
• Image cache (CivixImageCacheDB): Company logos and educational graphics are cached as base64 data to improve loading speed and offline access
• EULA analysis cache: Cached analysis results to avoid re-processing the same content
Browser Session Storage:
• Quiz completion status (civixQuizCompleted): Temporary flag indicating if you've completed a quiz session
• Selected companies (civixSelectedCompanies): Your current company selections during quiz setup
• Quiz results (civix_quiz_result): Temporary storage of your quiz results before viewing the results page
Browser Local Storage:
• Last quiz timestamp (civixLastQuizTime): When you last completed a quiz, used for progress tracking
Note: All this data is stored locally in your browser and is never transmitted to our servers unless you explicitly choose to sign in. You can clear this data anytime through your browser's storage management tools.
Cookie Policy
We do not use any cookies. Our application functions entirely without cookies. We use browser storage technologies (IndexedDB, localStorage, and sessionStorage) instead of cookies for the limited data storage described above. This means you won't see any cookie consent banners or cookie-related notifications on our site.
Optional Login Information
If you choose to sign in with Google or Microsoft:
• We only receive your email address and display name
• This information is used solely to personalize your learning experience
• We will never sell, rent, or share your email address with third parties
• Preference settings: Your quiz progress and learning preferences are stored in our backend only when you're logged in
Data Security
The minimal data we do collect is protected through industry-standard security measures, including encrypted connections (HTTPS) and secure authentication protocols. Since we collect so little data, your risk exposure is minimal.
Third-Party Services
We use minimal third-party services:
• Authentication: Google OAuth and Microsoft OAuth for sign-in (optional)
Your Rights
You have the right to:
• Access any data we have about you (which is minimal)
• Use our platform without creating an account
• Contact us with any privacy concerns after logging into the site

We will update this privacy policy if our practices change. Any updates will be posted on this page with a new "Last updated" date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
