Privacy Policy

Revrse is committed to protecting the privacy, dignity, and rights of every user. This policy explains what data we collect, how it’s used, and the principles that guide our decisions. Revrse is operated by the WithNature Institute & Foundation, India — a registered not-for-profit entity under Section 8 of the Companies Act.

1. What we collect

We collect only what’s needed to verify actions and maintain trust in the system: names, contact emails, project metadata (title, description, GPS coordinates, timestamps), and photo or video uploads. Optional fields — such as organization, university, or social links — help contextualize your contributions.

2. How your data is used

Data powers verification. AI checks for duplication, blur, and geo consistency, while human reviewers assess authenticity. Verified actions generate open records and public metrics that make impact transparent for citizens, NGOs, and CSR partners. We do not sell, rent, or trade user data — ever.

3. Privacy controls

You decide what becomes public. Faces can be auto-blurred. Metadata that reveals sensitive information (e.g., GPS coordinates) can be hidden from exports. For institutional partners, we offer private project modes — where verified data is visible only to authorized company CSR teams or academic reviewers.

4. Non-public or private projects

Some users — particularly students, researchers, or NGOs working on pre-launch pilots — may prefer that their project data not be visible to the general public. In such cases, Revrse supports restricted visibility settings:

  • Projects remain visible only to internal collaborators or verified company CSR teams.
  • Summary statistics may still appear in anonymized aggregate reports.
  • Switching a project to public mode requires explicit consent from its owner.

This balance enables transparency for funders while respecting confidentiality for sensitive or early-stage initiatives.

5. Data storage and security

All data is encrypted in transit and at rest. We use reputable cloud infrastructure providers with compliance in ISO 27001 and GDPR-aligned security standards. Only authorized reviewers and admins have access to backend verification records.

6. Your rights

You may access, edit, or delete your personal data anytime. To request deletion or anonymization of a project, email us at hello@revrse.org.

7. Policy updates

We update this policy periodically to reflect new safeguards or legal requirements. The latest version will always be available at revrse.org/privacy.
