How Bouleon handles your data

We may store your email, display name, handle, profile details, follows, votes, entries, replies, reports, notifications, membership state, and basic system logs needed to keep the service reliable. Passwords are protected with salted, one-way scrypt hashes and are never stored as readable text. Email verification and password-reset codes are stored only as short-lived cryptographic hashes, become unusable immediately after use, and are purged after a short operational retention period. Abuse-prevention limits use keyed hashes rather than readable email addresses or IP addresses.

Entries, replies, profile handles, badges, and public contribution history are meant to be visible to other users. Votes are used for proposal-level signals and should not be treated as official EU voting.

Ask AI requests are intended to stay bound to the selected proposal, its official sources, and civic context. Bouleon AI is not legal advice and should not replace reading the official source.

EUR-Lex and other official-source metadata may be cached so proposals can be easier to read and discuss. Official source links remain available for verification.

Bouleon uses Vercel Web Analytics and Speed Insights to understand aggregate visits, page usage, traffic sources, and real-user performance such as page loading, responsiveness, and layout stability. These measurements help us find slow pages and improve the service. They are not used to build advertising profiles, and these Vercel tools do not rely on analytics cookies.

During private alpha, account deletion, data export, and privacy requests can be handled manually by the project owner until self-service controls are implemented.
