What do you want to check?
Start with the public question. The answer shows what can be visible, what stays summarized, and where to go next.
Data policy
Public summaries, source attribution, and care limits
Civic OS shows public-source summaries, source names, public source URLs, counts, public use status, and care status. Sensitive details are not published on public pages, search results, source receipts, shared summary files, logs, or analytics labels.
Public-first
Public pages use public-source receipts, public summaries, citations, and status labels.
Sensitive details
Values that need review may support matching and quality checks, but public pages show only counts, categories, or omission reasons.
Attribution
Public records should preserve source names, public URLs when available, generated dates, and public use status.
Shared files
Downloadable or shared summaries follow the same public-facing boundary unless a later audited override exists.
