Mission Statement
E-Democracy builds online public space in the heart of real democracy and community. Our mission is to harness the power of online tools to support participation in public life, strengthen communities, and build democracy.
Participation in E-Democracy forums is fundamentally about public life.
We seek to create a safe, trusting environment where people know who has the ability to communicate publicly with them in our forums. While this is a community experience not a private life activity, we do take actions to protect your privacy.
E-Democracy does not sell, rent, or exchange private information with third parties on individuals using our web site, forums, or services. Representatives of E-Democracy including staff, contractors, Board members, Forum Managers, and local volunteers may not use personally identifiable information that is provided to E-Democracy for any purposes that are unrelated to the mission and official activities of E-Democracy and its local affiliates.

Any personal information collected by specific forums, local
committees/chapters, or for use with other services owned and
operated by E-Democracy, labeled private will not be
disclosed publicly.
By default, as a public life
initiative, information
fields not clearly labeled private should be considered public,
viewable, and potentially accessible.
Specific non-forum services, such as e-mail newsletters, surveys requesting demographic information, and online donation systems will have clearly stated additional privacy guarantees as appropriate.
