Ballot Brief ("we," "our," or "us") operates the website ballotbrief.com (the "Service"). We are committed to protecting user privacy. This Privacy Policy explains our practices regarding data collection and usage for visitors to our platform.
1. No Personal Data Collection or Retention
We believe that your voting research should remain entirely private.
Location and Address Data: When you utilize our district lookup tools or enter a zip code or physical address to view a sample ballot, this data is processed strictly in real time to populate your local ballot data. We do not store, log, track, or retain your address, zip code, or geographical location on our servers.
Personal Information: We do not require account registration, names, email addresses, or phone numbers to use our core lookup services, and we do not collect this information.
2. Automated Log Data and Cookies
Like most website operators, we may process standard non-identifying information that browsers automatically send whenever you visit a website. This may include your device's Internet Protocol (IP) address, browser type, browser version, the pages of our Service that you visit, the time and date of your visit, and the time spent on those pages. This data is used solely for real-time traffic management and temporary performance monitoring.
3. Third-Party Links
Our Service provides non-partisan information regarding political candidates, which frequently includes outbound links to official candidate websites, social media profiles, and public databases. We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party sites or services.
4. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last Updated" date.
