Privacy Policy

Account data: When you sign up, we collect your email address and a hashed password. We never store your password in plain text.

Usage data: We track how many bill analyses you've run each month to enforce plan limits.

Bill analyses: When you analyze a bill, the bill text and AI-generated analysis are stored in our database. This powers our caching system so other users get instant results on the same bill.

Watchlist: Bills you add to your watchlist are stored and associated with your account.

ZIP code: If you enter a ZIP code on the My Representatives page, it is saved to your account to look up your elected officials.

Analytics: We use Google Analytics to collect anonymous usage statistics (pages visited, session duration). No personally identifiable data is sent to Google Analytics.

• To provide and improve the BillRiders service
• To enforce plan limits and process payments via Stripe
• To send transactional emails (welcome, weekly digest, alerts) if you opt in
• To look up your elected representatives by ZIP code
• To send account-related emails (password reset, email verification)

We do not sell your personal data. We share data only with:

• Stripe — for payment processing. Stripe's privacy policy applies to payment data.
• Resend — for transactional email delivery.
• Anthropic — bill text is sent to Anthropic's API for AI analysis. Anthropic's data usage policy applies.
• Neon / PostgreSQL — our database provider, used to store your account and analysis data.

We retain your account data for as long as your account is active. Bill analyses are retained indefinitely to power the caching system. If you delete your account, we remove your personal data within 7 days. Cached bill analyses (which contain no personal data) may be retained.

You have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you
• Correct inaccurate data
• Request deletion of your account and personal data
• Opt out of marketing emails at any time

To exercise any of these rights, email us at billridersapp@gmail.com.

We use cookies to maintain your login session (via NextAuth.js). We do not use advertising or tracking cookies beyond Google Analytics, which can be blocked via your browser settings.

Passwords are hashed using bcrypt. All data is transmitted over HTTPS. Our database is hosted on Neon with access restricted to our application servers.

BillRiders is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children.

We may update this policy from time to time. We'll notify users of material changes by email or by posting a notice on the app.
