Global Privacy, Open Access & Election Integrity: Inside ElectionAnalyst.com's Human-Centred Model
By the ElectionAnalyst.com Editorial Desk
In a time when data is exploited, journalism is gated, and governments weaponise surveillance, ElectionAnalyst.com is breaking away from the traditional rules of restricted access and proprietary control.
Our platform is built differently:
✅ No copyright walls
✅ No behavioural tracking
✅ No political interference
✅ No silence under pressure
We believe that free access to factual electoral information is not a privilege — it’s a global right.
Why a Global Privacy Policy Matters in Election Reporting
Across much of the world, voter data, media platforms, and even political discourse are increasingly controlled, censored, or monetised. Meanwhile, many media outlets are subject to:
GDPR takedown threats
US CLOUD Act compliance
Data localisation laws that enable state access
Cloud vendor censorship and regional suppression
At ElectionAnalyst.com, our Global Privacy Policy rejects this pattern. We do not submit to regional or commercial data demands that interfere with press freedom.
“Truth should never need permission. Especially not from those it holds accountable.”
— Dr Raju Ahmed Dipu, Editor-in-Chief
A Platform Without Copyright: Open Knowledge, Not Controlled Assets
Every article, report, and infographic published by ElectionAnalyst.com is free to reference, cite, and share — as long as the source is acknowledged. This approach allows:
Educators to use our material in civic literacy and electoral education
Civil society groups to distribute verified data without license fees
Newsrooms in vulnerable regions to republish our work for public impact
Journalists in exile to build on our research without fear of takedown
There is no paywall, no “premium facts”, and no tiered truth.
We operate under a Creative Commons Attribution model — because election facts should never be copyrighted into silence.
What We Mean by “Human Type” Journalism
We write not just for policy circles or analysts, but for:
Voters looking for clarity
Youth learning how democracy works
Diaspora communities watching their homeland
Journalists facing censorship
Researchers without access to institutional databases
That’s why our language is direct, our visuals are clean, and our tone is human, not robotic.
Whether you’re in a village in Nepal or a newsroom in Nairobi — you should understand how your vote works.
Data Sovereignty: Protecting the Platform, the Sources, and You
Behind the scenes, our platform is decentralised. We host our data across global nodes, bypassing national restrictions and preserving editorial autonomy. We do not collect or trade personal data, and we do not serve ads that track you across the web.
If you submit a tip, send an observation, or contribute anonymously — your identity stays yours. Always.
