Privacy Policy
Last updated: December 2024
The Capitol Lens is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect and how we use it.
Information We Collect
We collect minimal data. Currently, The Capitol Lens does not require user accounts, does not use cookies for tracking, and does not collect personal information.
If you subscribe to email updates in the future, we will only collect your email address and use it solely to send you legislative updates. We will never sell or share your email with third parties.
Analytics
We may use privacy-respecting analytics to understand how many people visit our site and which pages are most useful. This data is aggregated and anonymous — we cannot identify individual visitors.
Third-Party Services
Our legislative data comes from Congress.gov, a public government resource. AI-generated summaries are created using Anthropic's Claude. No personal user data is shared with these services.
Your Rights
Since we don't collect personal data, there's nothing to delete or export. If this changes in the future, we will update this policy and provide clear options for managing your data.
Changes to This Policy
If we make significant changes to this privacy policy, we will update the "Last updated" date and post a notice on our website.

Our commitment: The Capitol Lens exists to make civic information accessible, not to monetize your data. We believe privacy is a right, not a privilege.
