Privacy Policy
Last updated: January 18, 2026
We believe in radical transparency. This policy explains what information we collect, why we collect it, and how we protect it. No legalese, no fine print tricks—just straight talk about your data.
The Short Version
- We never sell your data. Period. Not to advertisers, not to data brokers, not to anyone.
- We collect only what we need to keep you informed and help you take action.
- Your zip code helps us connect you with your elected representatives and local actions.
- You can unsubscribe anytime with one click. No guilt trips.
- We use industry-standard security to protect your information.

Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), you have additional rights including the right to know what personal information we collect, the right to delete your information, and the right to opt out of the sale of your information.
We do not sell personal information. We never have and never will. This makes most CCPA "sale" provisions not applicable to us, but we respect all your rights under California law.
