AIQnA is anonymous civic listening. It is a beta program of AI Coachella Valley (AICV). This page explains, plainly, what happens with your conversation.
Your words in the conversation, which we keep in full; the city/community you mention; and details about your connection here — your work, how long you have been here, and the like — which we record only when they come up in the conversation.
We do not ask for your name, email, or phone, and they never go into your structured record. We do keep the full conversation transcript, so anything you type is stored as you wrote it. We never publish a transcript.
We never store your IP address. What we keep is a one-way salted hash of it, on the session record, used only to spot abuse. It is not reversible into your address, but it does sit alongside your response — so treat it as part of your record, not as something separate from it.
We also store a random ID in your browser so we can tell if you've already answered this week. It isn't tied to your name or anything about you, and clearing your browser data removes it.
During the conversation we ask whether your words may be shared anonymously alongside the weekly results (e.g. "a small business owner in Indio"). You can decline and still be counted — your view still shapes the aggregate.
AIQnA is regional listening. Individual responses are never shared with media partners, sponsors, or any third party. Only aggregate findings, anonymized quotes, and city-level breakdowns are published at aiqna.org and as a canonical record on the AICV intelligence network. Aggregate data publishes openly under CC-BY-4.0.
This is a preview. The experience and these terms may change before public launch. Questions: sat@aicv.co.
