Security and public trust

Official service stays separate from campaign work.

Design principles

  • Campaign and official data stay separate

    Official-office records and campaign records are kept apart by design. Campaign tags, persuasion scores, party data, and turnout models do not enter the office Case record.

  • Applications do not query office records directly

    Web and mobile applications are designed to reach official-office records through controlled service paths rather than direct queries.

  • Access follows membership, role, and sensitivity

    What a Staff Member can see depends on Office Membership, assigned role, and the sensitivity of the record - not on who happens to have the link.

  • Sensitive Address handling fails closed

    When an address is protected or cannot be resolved safely, the system is designed to withhold rather than guess.

  • External communications require review

    Messages leaving the office are designed to require Staff Member review before they are sent.

  • Audit and office-transition history

    WeOffice is being designed to preserve the record of who did what and when, including across office transitions.

  • A voter match is optional and purpose-limited

    A voter match is never required to create a Person or Case, and it is not used to expand what the office collects.
