Verified participation without exposing your political identity
Verification answers one question — are you a real, eligible adult who counts once. Your answers then travel without your name attached.
Why verify at all
One real person, counted once
Public-opinion data fails quietly. The same person answers twice, automated entries fill in a study, or nobody can show who was actually reached. Verification exists to close that gap once, at onboarding — not to build a profile of you.
Verification happens during onboarding rather than on this signup page. The Privacy Policy and Biometric Notice govern what data is used, retained, and deleted.
What we verify, why, and who can access it
| What we verify | Why we verify it | Who can access it |
|---|---|---|
| That you are a real person | Automated and bulk responses destroy the accuracy of public-opinion data. | Verification systems and authorized PolitiMind staff. Never research buyers. |
| That you are an eligible adult in the U.S. | Studies describe a U.S. adult population, so eligibility has to be established once. | Verification systems and authorized PolitiMind staff. |
| That you count only once | One person answering twice quietly distorts every result built on that sample. | Verification systems only. Uniqueness is never reported as a person to buyers. |
| General audience attributes you provide | Research needs to know which groups were reached in order to report honestly. | Used to match studies and reported only in aggregate. |
Separation
Identity and answers are held apart
Your identity record and your survey responses are stored as separate things. Results are reported as aggregates, so a buyer can see how a group answered without tracing a single answer back to a person.
We collect only what participation requires, and you can request deletion at any time.
What the buyer sees — and what they never see
Organizations pay for measurement, not for people. Verification proves you are real and eligible; your identity stays on our side of the line.
Crosses to the buyer
- Aggregate results — how groups of verified people answered
- Anonymized demographic breakdowns used for weighting
- Methodology, sample size, and quality checks
Never crosses
- Your name, email, address, or phone number
- Your government ID or verification images
- Any way to trace one answer back to you
Does not prove that every buyer request is refused — it describes the boundary the platform enforces on what leaves PolitiMind.
The binding documents
