Privacy Policy

How Kectil Global Youth Index handles public visitor, researcher, admin, analytics, and service-provider privacy.

Kectil Global Youth Index is designed as a public, no-login research site. This policy explains what information is handled, how it is used, and the boundaries that protect respondent and visitor privacy.

Data useHome
In this policy
What public visitors can use without signing in
  • Browse public insights, policy pages, regional spotlights, and published research context without creating an account.
  • Use future public filters and downloads through approved data-use acknowledgement flows rather than public auth.
  • Review citation, methodology, and policy guidance before reusing Kectil Global Youth Index materials.
In this policy
Information handled by the platform
  • First-party, anonymized engagement analytics may record device/browser metadata, page and event metadata, approximate city/state or regional location, country, and content-interest patterns derived from public IP geolocation. Raw IP addresses, full user agents, tokens, and respondent identifiers are not part of the public analytics record.
  • Researcher download requests may store selected filters, generated timestamps, dataset version, and export metadata.
  • Contact or support channels, if enabled, may process voluntarily submitted names, emails, and message content.
In this policy
Admin and service-provider boundaries
  • Admin users authenticate through the internal admin system; public visitors do not receive public accounts.
  • A managed cloud database stores application metadata and approved aggregate read models; managed cloud file storage holds reports, media, uploads, and generated exports.
  • Sensitive credentials, private source files, and internal operational fields must not appear in public pages, client bundles, or logs.
In this policy
Privacy rights and contact
  • Visitors may contact Kectil through the public contact page to ask privacy questions, request correction of voluntarily submitted contact information, or report suspected misuse of Kectil Global Youth Index materials.
  • Operational analytics are used to improve content, reports, and data tools; analytics records are not sold to third parties.
  • Retention windows follow operational need, legal obligations, and the requirement to keep published research results aggregate-only.
