Public Anonymity by Default
1. Principle
Participation on Unlio is public by default, but not personally identifiable.
People can take part in initiatives without creating a public identity or visible participation history unless they choose otherwise.
This principle describes how participation works. It does not replace the Privacy Policy.
2. Initiative-based participation
Participation is scoped to a single initiative.
By default:
- participation in one initiative is not publicly linked to participation in another
- participants are not presented with a global public identity
- activity in different initiatives remains separate in public view
Participation is organized around initiatives rather than around a platform-wide identity.
3. Voluntary identity and profile linking
Participants may choose to associate their participation with additional information.
This may include:
- linking participation to a public profile
- sharing selected contextual information
These choices are made per initiative. A participant may appear publicly in one initiative and remain anonymous in another.
When participation is linked to a public profile, other initiatives associated with that profile may become visible.
4. Required and protected information
Some initiatives may require specific information to ensure relevance or legitimacy.
When such information is required:
- it is used for the purposes of that initiative
- it is not displayed publicly as part of participation
- it is treated as protected information
Meeting participation requirements does not imply public disclosure.
5. Aggregated information
Participation may be reflected in aggregated form.
Aggregated information:
- does not identify individual participants
- is not linked to specific people
- provides context about participation as a whole
6. Purpose
This principle lowers the barrier to participation while maintaining accountability and relevance.
It gives participants control over visibility and keeps initiatives grounded in real-world context.
