Privacy Policy
Effective Date:
April 3, 2026
Overview:
LegiList respects your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your choices. LegiList does not use AI-generated summaries or reinterpret source records. Data displayed across federal, state, and executive sections comes from official public sources.
Operator:
LegiList is operated by LegiList LLC.
Public Browsing and Accounts:
Most public pages on LegiList do not require an account. However, some services, including API access and newsletter delivery, require collection and storage of limited personal information such as an email address.
Address Lookup:
When you enter your address to view elected officials, that information is sent directly to the Google Civic Information API. LegiList does not store, log, or retain the address you enter.
Pinned Items:
Pinned federal bills, legislators, and committees in My LegiList are stored locally in your browser using localStorage. This data is not transmitted to LegiList servers.
Newsletter:
If you subscribe to the LegiList Weekly Congressional Briefing, we store your email address only to send the newsletter. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in each email. Unsubscribed addresses remain flagged to prevent accidental re-mailing. Subscriber emails are not sold or shared for advertising.
API Accounts and Verification:
If you request API access, LegiList may collect your name, email address, account status, verification tokens, dashboard access tokens, session identifiers, and related timestamps in order to create and secure your API account.
API Keys:
LegiList stores API key prefixes and secure hashes of API keys, not the full key after issuance. Full API keys are shown only when first created or rotated.
API Usage and Security Logs:
When the API is used, LegiList may collect and store request metadata such as IP address, request path, method, response status, rate-limit events, usage counters, last-used timestamps, and other security or diagnostic logs necessary to operate, secure, and enforce the API.
How API Information Is Used:
LegiList uses API account and request data to verify email ownership, issue and revoke keys, authenticate requests, enforce limits, detect abuse, troubleshoot errors, send service emails, and maintain service integrity.
API Reminder Emails:
LegiList may send limited onboarding, usage, or quota-related reminder emails for API accounts, such as activation reminders for unused accounts, notices that a free account is nearing its daily quota, or upgrade prompts for free accounts showing sustained usage. These non-essential reminder emails include an unsubscribe link. Transactional API emails such as verification, dashboard access, security, and billing notices are not affected by that opt-out.
Data Retention:
Newsletter subscriber emails remain in the system until unsubscribed. API account records, revoked key records, verification records, and API security or usage logs may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary to operate the service, prevent abuse, resolve disputes, comply with legal obligations, and maintain auditability. Local browser data such as pinned items remains on your device until you clear it.
Payments:
Donations are processed securely by Stripe. LegiList does not collect or store payment card data. Stripe may collect transaction details such as name, email, billing address, and payment information to process a donation. Donations are not tax-deductible. See Stripe's Privacy Policy.
Analytics:
LegiList uses Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity to measure aggregate usage patterns, understand how visitors use the site, and improve performance and usability. These services may use cookies, similar technologies, and interaction telemetry. LegiList does not use analytics data to build internal advertising audiences or personal profiles for sale.
Advertising:
LegiList may use third-party advertising services, including Google AdSense, to display ads. If advertising is enabled, those partners may use cookies, web beacons, IP addresses, device identifiers, or similar technologies to serve, measure, and improve ads, subject to their own policies and applicable legal requirements. Where required by law, LegiList or its advertising partners may request consent before using advertising cookies or similar technologies.
Cookies:
LegiList may use cookies and similar technologies for analytics, advertising, and secure session management. Third-party analytics providers and advertising partners may also set or read their own cookies or identifiers through the site. LegiList may also use a strictly necessary session cookie for secure API dashboard access.
Do Not Track and Similar Signals:
LegiList does not currently respond to browser "Do Not Track" signals. Third-party analytics providers such as Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity may collect information about your activity over time and across websites subject to their own policies.
Server Logs:
Like most websites, LegiList automatically records basic server logs (such as IP address, user agent, referrer, and requested pages) for security, diagnostics, and abuse prevention.
Sharing:
LegiList does not sell API account information. LegiList may disclose limited account, usage, or transaction data to service providers or infrastructure providers when reasonably necessary to operate the service, deliver email, process payments, secure the platform, comply with legal obligations, or protect rights and safety.
Public Records Displayed:
LegiList displays public government records related to federal legislation, state legislation, and executive branch documents. LegiList does not combine those records with private visitor profiles.
Third-Party Links:
LegiList links to external government sites and services. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party websites.
Changes to This Policy:
We may update this Privacy Policy as features evolve or legal requirements change. Updates will be posted on this page with a revised effective date.
