Villages holds the information a community needs to run: the people in it, the events on its calendar, who has agreed to do what, the forms and files a community keeps, and the history of what was decided.

If you sign in, Villages holds your account details — your name, your email address, and the roles you have been given. If you take part through an invitation link, Villages holds only what you provide on that link.

Access is decided by role and by the specific village, event, or record in question. Being a member of a community does not, on its own, open anything up. Nothing about a community is visible before you sign in or open a link you were sent.

An invitation link is scoped to one thing and can be turned off at any time by the person who sent it. It does not reveal the wider community.

Where children take part, the adult responsible for them decides what is shared, consents on their behalf, and can withdraw that consent. Villages records who gave a consent and when.

Cue prepares drafts and summaries from information you already have access to. It never widens access, and it never sends, spends, signs, or changes anything on its own — a person approves first, and Villages records who did.

You can ask for a copy of what Villages holds about you, ask for a correction, or ask for your details to be removed. Start with the organization that runs your community — they hold the records — or reach the Villages team through the organization that invited you.

Some records are kept because a community needs institutional memory: who agreed to something, who approved it, and when. Where that applies, your details are separated from the record rather than the record being erased.
