1. Digital Fairness: How Your Sentiment is Calculated
Methodology & Fairness Statement:
To ensure a fair and relevant market outlook, our system uses a weighted decay model
to prevent outdated sentiment from skewing current forecasts.
The Active Window:
We only count 100% of votes from the current month and the 50% most recent votes
from the previous month. Votes older than 60 days are purged from the calculation entirely.
Neutrality Bias:
To prevent exaggerated market trends, if "Stable" votes outnumber directional votes,
the forecast remains flat.
Opposition Awareness:
If the community is divided (e.g., many positive and negative votes),
our algorithm automatically flattens the visual slope of the forecast to reflect
the lack of consensus. This ensures the graph represents "Community Vibe"
rather than an artificial consensus.
2. Data Rights: GDPR & Privacy Notice
Your Voting Rights & Privacy:
Your participation in our market surveys is designed with
Privacy by Design principles in accordance with GDPR.
Anonymization:
Votes are collected as anonymous data points.
We do not link your specific directional vote to your personal identity
in any public-facing output.
Storage & Time-Stamping:
Each vote is time-stamped to ensure it is only used within its relevant 60-day window.
The "Right to be Forgotten":
Because votes are month-bound and expire from the active calculation after the previous
month closes, your sentiment data is naturally phased out of our live forecasting model
every XX days.
