Privacy Policy

We need enough data to make Whim useful, not to build a surveillance toy.

What this policy covers

This policy applies to the public beta signup form at civiciq.io and to the Whim mobile beta app operated by CivicIQ.

What we collect

  • Beta signup details such as your email address, name, city, platform interest, and any notes you choose to share.
  • Account and authentication identifiers needed to let you create an account and sign in.
  • Location information you provide directly or allow from your device so we can show nearby events.
  • Onboarding preferences, interaction signals, saved events, and other app activity needed to improve recommendations.
  • Operational diagnostics such as crash reports, error traces, and request telemetry needed to keep the beta working.

How we use the data

  • To contact you about beta access, testing updates, and support responses.
  • To run the Whim product, including local discovery, personalization, and basic account management.
  • To troubleshoot bugs, prevent abuse, and improve quality during the beta.
  • To measure whether the app is actually useful, fast, and trustworthy for real users.

What we do not do

  • We do not sell your personal information.
  • We do not treat beta signup data as permission to spam you outside Whim-related communication.
  • We do not intentionally publish your location, saved events, or private feedback.
