What CivicaPR is

CivicaPR is a research platform that compiles and presents information from public records and official open-data sources about Puerto Rico — government contracts, officials, campaign finance, disaster-recovery funding, municipalities, and related news. We do not create the underlying records; we organize public information and cite our sources.

Information we collect

• Usage analytics. We use Google Analytics (GA4) to understand aggregate, non-identifying usage (pages viewed, general location, device type) so we can improve the platform. This may set cookies.
• Account data (optional). If you choose to create an account, we store the email and authentication details needed to sign you in. Browsing and research on CivicaPR do not require an account.
• Advertising. We display ads through Google AdSense. Google and its partners may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. You can opt out of personalized advertising via Google Ads Settings.

Payments

When you purchase a subscription or commission a report, payment is processed by Stripe, our third-party payment processor. To complete a payment, Stripe collects the information it needs to charge you — such as your name, email, billing address, and card or bank details — and handles it under Stripe's Privacy Policy. CivicaPR does not receive or store your full card number, CVC, or bank credentials; that data is handled by Stripe. We retain only limited billing records — such as a payment confirmation, the amount, and your subscription status — needed to provide the service, honor receipts, and meet our tax and accounting obligations.

How we use information

We use analytics to improve content and performance, and advertising to support the cost of running the platform. We do not sell your personal information.

Information about public figures

Profiles of public officials and records of public entities are drawn from public records and official sources. Private individuals' personal contact information is never published on public pages.

Third-party services

CivicaPR relies on third-party services including Google Analytics and Google AdSense, whose use of data is governed by their own privacy policies, including Google's Privacy & Terms.

Data retention & deletion

We keep account data (your email and authentication details) for as long as your account is active. Aggregate, non-identifying usage analytics may be retained on a rolling basis to improve the platform. Limited billing records are kept as long as needed for tax, accounting, and dispute-resolution purposes. You can ask us to delete your account and associated personal data at any time by emailing info@r21digital.com; we will delete it within a reasonable period, except where we are required to retain certain records by law. Note that information drawn from public records about public officials and public entities is not personal account data and is governed by the section above.
