Privacy Policy & Data Transparency

Our Commitment to Privacy

The California Digital Access Initiative (CDAI) is committed to operating with total transparency. We believe your personal information belongs to you. This Privacy Policy outlines our strict "No-Logs" approach and confirms that this website is a free, educational resource designed solely to help you connect with government benefits.

1. Zero Data Collection (Local Processing)

Our "Eligibility Checker" tool and interactive forms are designed to run Client-Side. This means:

• The information you enter (zip code, income status, benefit type) is processed locally on your own device browser.
• We do not save, store, or transmit your eligibility data to any server or database.
• Once you close the browser tab or refresh the page, your input data is instantly wiped.

2. No Advertising Policy

This website is strictly non-commercial.

• No Ads: We do not display Google AdSense, affiliate banners, or third-party pop-ups.
• No Tracking Cookies: We do not use tracking pixels to retarget you on other websites or social media.
• No Selling of Data: Since we do not collect data, we have nothing to sell to data brokers.

3. 100% Free Service

CDAI is an educational guide. We will never ask you for:

• Credit Card numbers or payment information.
• Bank account details.
• Social Security Numbers (SSN).

4. Contact Forms & Communication

If you choose to contact us via our support form or email:

• Your email address is used solely to reply to your specific inquiry.
• We do not add your email to any marketing newsletters or mailing lists.
• All correspondence is deleted from our records 30 days after the support ticket is resolved.
