Overview:
LegiList respects your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your choices regarding your data.
LegiList does not use AI-generated summaries, interpretations, or modifications of legislative text. All legislative data comes directly from official government sources.
No Account Required:
LegiList does not require user accounts or logins. You can use the site fully without providing any personal credentials.
Address Lookup:
When you enter your address to view your elected officials, that information is sent directly to the
Google Civic Information API.
LegiList does not store, log, or retain the address you enter. Only the result — your representatives' names and IDs — is saved in your browser’s local storage to personalize your dashboard. This data remains on your device and can be cleared at any time through your browser settings.
Pinned Items:
When you pin bills or legislators, those preferences are stored locally in your browser using localStorage.
No pinned data is transmitted to LegiList servers — it never leaves your device.
Newsletter:
If you subscribe to the LegiList Weekly Congressional Briefing, we collect and store your email address for the sole purpose of delivering the newsletter.
You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in each email. When you unsubscribe, your address remains in our system marked as unsubscribed
(so it will not receive further messages or be re-added by mistake). We do not sell, rent, or share subscriber emails with third parties.
Data Retention:
Newsletter subscriber emails remain in our system until unsubscribed, at which point they are flagged as inactive.
Pinned items and address lookups remain only in your browser’s local storage and are never stored on our servers.
Payments:
Donations to LegiList are processed securely through
Stripe.
LegiList does not collect or store your credit card information.
When you make a contribution, Stripe may collect personal details such as your
name, email address, billing address, and payment information in order to process the transaction.
Donations are not tax-deductible.
For more details, please review
Stripe’s Privacy Policy.
Analytics:
LegiList uses Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the site.
Google Analytics may use cookies and collect anonymized usage data (such as pages visited, device type, and general location).
Data is processed in aggregated form — LegiList does not access or store personally identifiable analytics information.
You can opt out by using
Google’s browser add-on.
Microsoft Clarity:
LegiList uses Microsoft Clarity to analyze how visitors interact with the site, including clicks, scrolling, and browser patterns.
Clarity may record anonymized interaction data to help improve usability. No personal information, payment data, or address input
is stored or linked to user identities.
Cookies:
Aside from Google Analytics, and Microsoft Clarity, LegiList does not use cookies, sessions, or persistent identifiers.
No user tracking is performed by LegiList itself.
Server Logs:
Like most websites, LegiList automatically collects basic server logs (such as IP address, user agent, referring URL, and pages accessed) for security and diagnostics.
These logs are not linked to any personal profile, as LegiList does not maintain user accounts or store personal identifiers.
Public Records:
LegiList displays publicly available federal documents including campaign finance filings, lobbying disclosures, and congressional financial reports.
These documents may contain personal names or information submitted to the government.
LegiList does not combine this information with any data about site visitors, nor does it create user profiles from public filings.
Third-Party Links:
This site may link to external government sources and APIs. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those websites.
Changes to This Policy:
We may update this Privacy Policy as new features are added or as regulations evolve. Any changes will be posted here with an updated effective date.
