Non-Partisan Declaration
Our commitment to political neutrality
CivicRate is 100% Non-Partisan
We do not support, oppose, endorse, or promote any political party, candidate, ideology, or government. Our sole mission is empowering citizens with transparent data.
What We Pledge
- No Political Funding: We will never accept donations, sponsorships, grants, or any form of financial support from any political party, candidate, political action committee, or government body.
- No Political Advertising: We will never run political advertisements, sponsored posts, or paid candidate promotions on CivicRate.
- No Editorial Bias: We do not editorially curate, boost, suppress, or manipulate any leader's ratings, scores, or rankings. All scores are pure mathematical aggregates of citizen votes.
- Equal Treatment: Every political leader on CivicRate is subject to the same rating methodology, same data sources, same display format, and same correction policies — regardless of party.
- No Voter Recommendations: We will never tell citizens who to vote for. We provide data; citizens make their own decisions.
- No Data Sharing with Parties: We will never share voter data, behavioral analytics, demographic insights, or any platform data with political parties or campaigns.
- Transparent Revenue: Our revenue comes from citizen donations, non-political advertising (Google AdSense), and data analytics services. We will publish quarterly transparency reports on revenue sources.
What Citizen Ratings Mean
Ratings on CivicRate are:
- Anonymous opinions of individual Indian citizens
- Not verified facts, official assessments, or legal determinations
- Not endorsements or accusations by CivicRate
- Mathematical aggregates that reflect collective citizen perception
Ratings are NOT:
- CivicRate's own assessment of any leader
- Verified or fact-checked individual opinions
- Legal findings or accusations of criminal conduct
- Recommendations to vote for or against any candidate
Our Data Sources
