Privacy Policy

This policy covers ballotdata.ai, run by BallotData LLC. Our developer site, api.ballotdata.ai, has its own policy.

What we collect

• Customers: name, email, organization, what you bought and how it’s delivered (addresses and endpoints you give us), and billing records from Stripe. We never see or store card numbers.
• Contact form and endorser submissions: what you type, plus your IP address and browser type, to answer you and stop abuse.
• Product-update sign-ups: your email address and when you confirmed it.
• Server logs: IP addresses and pages requested, kept for security and troubleshooting.
• Site analytics: how visitors use the site, described below.

Site analytics

We run our own analytics to see which pages are useful and where buying, contacting us or submitting an endorser’s page gets stuck. No outside analytics or advertising company is involved, and nothing is shared with one.

• Your browser keeps a random ID in its local storage (not a cookie) for about 13 months, and a second one for each visit, which ends after 30 minutes without activity. They aren’t linked to your name, email or account.
• We record the pages you view, how long each was on screen and how far you scrolled, the links you click (our own pages, or only the name of another site), whether a form was sent or came back with something to fix, what kind of plan was chosen at checkout (scope, how many states or contests, the total) and whether the payment went through, the site you came from and any campaign tags in the link, the kind of device, browser and operating system, and page speed and script errors.
• We never record what you type into a form (names, emails, organizations, messages or links), your IP address or full browser identification string, or anything in the address bar beyond the page.
• Analytics records are deleted after 14 months.

Analytics is on unless you turn it off here. If your browser sends Global Privacy Control or Do Not Track, it’s already off and nothing is recorded. Turning it off deletes the ID and everything recorded under it. The choice is kept in this browser, for this site only.

How we use it

To provide and bill for purchases, deliver data, answer messages, review endorsers’ submissions, and keep the site secure. We don’t sell personal information, and the data we sell is about endorsers’ public endorsements, not about our visitors.

Who processes it for us

Amazon Web Services (hosting), Stripe (payments), Brevo (email) and Cloudflare Turnstile (bot checks), each only to provide their service.

Cookies and local storage

One cookie keeps you signed in to your account. We use no advertising or tracking cookies. Local storage holds the analytics IDs and your analytics choice, described above.

Your choices

You can ask to see, correct or delete your information, subject to records we must keep for tax and accounting. California residents have these rights under the CCPA. Write to sales@ballotdata.ai.
