Data Handling Promise
Short version: we handle data the way a good treasurer handles the club accounts. Carefully, transparently, and only for the purpose stated.
Plain-language definition
If you only read one box on this page, read this one: Harbor Commons shows public-record filing data and uses small amounts of site analytics to improve the product. If you send us private context or a correction, we use it to improve parsing and presentation, not to make that private material public.

Public record vs. private submissions
Public record stays public. If it's in a 990 filing, we treat it as publicly displayable — because the IRS already does.
Private stays private. If you ever send us a correction, context, or a document not in the public record, we will not publish it. We use it only to improve our parsing or presentation, and we'll tell you what we changed.
