Owner-reviewed launch policy · legal review still recommended

Privacy policy

This privacy posture describes how Gernalist handles account, source, evidence, and operational data for the public investigation desk. Legal review is recommended as policies evolve.

Current safety boundary

Human editorial review is required before publication. Automated moderation, automated publishing, and public assisted-research workflows are not enabled.

Data we expect to handle

Account, session, role, evidence submission, clarification, editorial workflow, and safe operational metadata may be processed to run the investigation desk.

Source and evidence protection

Sensitive submissions and source-identifying details must not be exposed in public UI, analytics, logs, provider prompts, or monitoring payloads without explicit human editorial approval.

Provider and automation boundary

Automated research tools are not enabled for public use. Any future assisted research requires explicit budget, purpose, call-count, and policy approval.
