PRIVACY POLICY 

Last updated: September 2025

Introduction

FULL DISCLOSURE (“the App”) is a civic education and transparency tool designed to provide users with access to public information on politicians, campaign finance, legislation, lobbying activity, and related topics.

We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting it. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have regarding your data.

Information We Collect

The App does not require users to provide personal information to browse publicly available data. However, the following may apply:

1. Account Information (Optional)
   
   

   • If you create an account, we may collect your name, email address, and any preferences you select during onboarding (e.g., issue interests).
     
     

2. Automatically Collected Data
   
   

   • Device information (model, operating system, app version).
     
     

   • Usage statistics (features accessed, screens viewed).
     
     

   • Crash/diagnostic reports (to improve app stability).
     
     

3. Push Notifications
   
   

   • If enabled, we may collect a device token to send alerts about legislative activity, donations, or lobbying updates.
     
     

We do not collect sensitive personal data (such as payment details, government IDs, or biometric information) within the App.

How We Use Information

We use collected information only to:

• Provide and improve the App’s features.
  
  

• Personalize alerts and recommendations based on your preferences.
  
  

• Monitor usage patterns to improve performance and user experience.
  
  

• Respond to support requests and bug reports.
  
  

We do not sell or rent your personal information to third parties.

Data Sources

The App aggregates publicly available data from trusted sources such as:

• Federal Election Commission (FEC)
  
  

• U.S. Senate Lobbying Disclosure Database
  
  

• Congress.gov and GovInfo APIs
  
  

• OpenStates, LegiScan, and other public APIs
  
  

Because this information is already public, we simply provide a consolidated, user-friendly view.

Data Storage & Security

• Data may be stored in secure cloud databases (e.g., Firebase).
  
  

• We implement industry-standard measures to protect against unauthorized access.
  
  

• No system is 100% secure, but we take reasonable steps to protect your data.
  
  

Account & Data Deletion

You may request account deletion at any time. Please visit our Data Deletion Page:

Once deleted, your personal data will be permanently removed from our systems within a reasonable timeframe.

Children’s Privacy

The App is intended for users 13 years and older. We do not knowingly collect data from children under 13.

Third-Party Services

The App may use third-party analytics or crash reporting tools (e.g., Firebase, RevenueCat). These services may collect anonymous usage data to help us improve the app.
