Data minimisation
NaijaGauge should collect only information needed to verify participation, prevent duplicate voting, segment results at an appropriate level and operate the service securely.
Verification information
Email addresses are processed to provide secure verification. Vote records should use a separate participant identifier rather than storing the raw email address alongside the selected poll option.
Location information
The pilot asks whether a respondent lives in Nigeria or the diaspora and may ask for a state or country. It should not require precise GPS location for ordinary polling.
Published results
Public dashboards display aggregated results. Individual identities and individual voting choices should not be published.
Fraud prevention
Security signals such as device, network and request-rate information may be processed to detect automated or abusive activity. These signals should be used proportionately and should not be presented publicly as voter identity data.
No sale of voter identities
NaijaGauge's intended commercial model is based on aggregated polling and research insights, not the sale of participant email addresses or named voting histories.
