Policy notes
Data safety notes
These notes summarize how Kectil Global Youth Index privacy, terms, and methodology rules apply to public data use.

Public data boundary

Public surfaces expose anonymous aggregate or approved export data only, never raw respondent rows or operational workbook fields.

Source of record

A managed cloud database remains the canonical system for published metadata and aggregate read models; managed cloud file storage holds generated files and public reports.

Commercial use

Commercial resale, high-volume redistribution, and substantial reuse in paid products require written Kectil permission.
