Freedom Nation Privacy Policy

Prepared by Claude at the owner's direction; not legal advice from a licensed attorney.

Last updated: 2026-10-03

This policy explains what personal information we collect, why we collect it, who we share it with, how long we keep it, and the choices and rights you have. It applies to everyone who uses Freedom Nation, wherever you live.

1. Who is responsible

• For the platform, dues, courses, events, marketplace and community: GeniusCo Support Services, LLC ("we", "us"). We are the "controller" of your personal information for these.
• For land in Freedom Village Georgia I: Muhammad Hunter Jugger, LLC (MHJ) is also a controller for land records.
• Contact: [email protected], 3644 Covey Rise Farm Rd, Sparta, Georgia 31087.
• EU and UK representative: [name and address, to be appointed before we accept paid citizens from the EU or UK].

2. Only adults

Freedom Nation is for people aged 18 and over. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. If we learn that we have, we delete it.

3. What we collect

We do not use SMS or text messaging, and we do not sell your personal information.

4. Why we use it, and our legal bases

Sensitive information.

• Your governance votes, and your membership of the community, could reveal political or other beliefs. We use them only to run governance.
• We keep your vote choices private from other citizens, except where you act as a public delegate.
• In the EU/UK, we rely on your explicit consent, which you give when you sign the Governance Addendum, and on the fact that you have chosen to make your membership known to the community.

5. Things you should know

1. Chat is not end-to-end encrypted. Our administrators can access messages when needed for safety, moderation, support or legal reasons.
2. Location in your files.
   • Photos, voice and video notes keep their embedded metadata, which may include where they were taken.
   • We keep this information with the file and do not remove it. There is no option to remove location data. Every upload screen shows the notice "Photos and video can contain the place they were taken. We keep this information with the file." If you do not want to share a location, do not upload that photo or recording, or turn off location tagging in your camera settings before you record.
   • Other users see your content in the app. Only you and our admins can download the original file.
3. Votes. Votes are recorded with an audit trail so results can be checked.

6. Who we share it with

We share personal information only as needed:

Our service providers may use your information only to provide services to us. We do not sell or "share" your information for cross-context behavioural advertising.

7. Marketing email

We send marketing email only if you opt in. Every marketing email has an unsubscribe link and our postal address. We act on unsubscribes promptly, and always within 10 business days. Service and legal notices are not marketing and will still be sent.

8. International transfers

We are based in the United States. Our servers are hosted by Hetzner in [data centre country, to be confirmed by the owner], and our other providers process data in the U.S. and other countries. If you are in the EU, UK or another country with transfer rules, we rely on safeguards such as the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses, the UK Addendum, or the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework where a provider is certified.

9. How long we keep it

When a hold applies, we keep only what the hold needs and restrict access to it.

10. Your choices and rights

Everyone can:

1. download a copy of your data (Settings > Privacy > Export);
2. delete your account and data (Settings > Privacy > Delete), subject to the holds above, and to section 4 of the Terms if you hold land;
3. correct your information;
4. opt out of marketing;
5. withdraw e-records consent and ask for paper copies.

If you are in the EU, UK or a similar country, you also have the right to:

• object to processing based on legitimate interests;
• restrict processing;
• data portability;
• withdraw consent;
• complain to your data protection authority.

If a U.S. state privacy law applies to you, you may have rights to know, delete, correct and opt out. We honour these requests whether or not the law strictly applies to us.

How to ask. Email [email protected]. We will verify your identity and reply within 30 days (or 45 days where a law allows). We will not treat you differently for using your rights.

11. Security

We use encryption in transit, access controls, multi-factor authentication for admins, audit logs and regular backups. No system is perfectly secure. If a breach affects you, we will tell you as the law requires.

12. Changes

We will tell you about material changes by email and in the app at least 30 days before they take effect.

13. Contact
