Hugging Face Reviewer Response Letter

Dear Hugging Face Trust & Safety Review Team,

Thank you for taking the time to review Federal FOIA Intelligence Search. We appreciate the opportunity to clarify any questions regarding scope, data handling, or AI usage.

---

Project Intent

This application is designed as a read-only, transparency-first research aid that links exclusively to official U.S. government FOIA Electronic Reading Rooms. It does not scrape, host, or store government documents.

---

Data Handling Clarification

• No user data is persisted
• No documents are downloaded automatically
• All AI features are disabled by default
• All AI usage is user-initiated and disclosed

---

AI Safety Measures

• Explicit opt-in required
• Citation-anchored analysis
• Disclosure and integrity hashing
• No training on user input

---

Compliance & Policy Alignment

We believe this Space aligns with:

• Hugging Face Trust & Safety standards
• Responsible AI principles
• Public-records research norms
• Legal and journalistic best practices

---

Willingness to Adjust

We are fully willing to:

• Further restrict functionality if requested
• Add additional disclosures or warnings
• Delay or remove future features pending review

---

Thank you again for your review and stewardship of the platform.

Respectfully,
Ezra Godschild
Project Maintainer
