Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 12, 2026

Hill Policy is run by Taprobane Labs LLC, based in Dallas, Texas, United States. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it and your choices. For privacy questions, email contact@hillpolicy.org.

When you visit or search

You can browse without an account. To show you pages and keep the site working, we and the companies that host and protect it receive basic information about your visit. This includes your internet address (IP address), browser and connection details, the pages you request and when you visit. We use this information to run the site, fix problems and prevent abuse.

Searches and filters can appear in the page address and your browser history. Companies that deliver or protect the site may also see this information. We do not use it to build a record of your political interests, target political ads or sell information about your interests. We do not use advertising trackers or outside services to analyze visitors’ browsing habits.

Cookies

We use cookies to remember your choice of light or dark mode and help keep the site secure. We do not use cookies for advertising.

Your display preference can be remembered for up to one year. Security cookies are temporary. You can delete or block cookies in your browser settings, but some site features may not work as expected.

When you contact us

If you email us or use an available correction form, we receive what you send. This may include your message, email address, the page you report and other details you provide. Email also includes delivery details, such as when it was sent. We use this information to respond, investigate concerns, correct information, maintain the site and handle legal or security matters. Sending a report does not automatically change the site.

We do not automatically publish your messages or contact details. A correction may include a public explanation of what changed, with personal contact details left out. Send only what we need to help you. Do not send passwords, identification documents, financial account details, private health information or sensitive information about children.

Public officials, candidates and sources

We collect public information about officials, candidates and Congress. This includes names, roles, party affiliations, statements, recorded votes, photographs and source links. It comes from government records, campaign material and other credited sources. We keep sources and a record of changes to help check accuracy and explain corrections. Information can still be personal information even when it is public.

Contact us about errors, privacy concerns or rights to material on the site. We consider the law, the public interest in the information and other people’s rights when reviewing a request.

Services we use

Other companies help us host and protect the site, store information and handle email. They receive the information needed to provide those services. This may include Cloudflare where used to deliver or protect the site, and the email companies involved when you contact us. Information may be handled in the United States or other countries.

We use Firecrawl to collect public sources and OpenAI to help prepare summaries. We do not send these tools visitors’ routine searches or private contact details from correction reports for that work. We do not sell personal information or share it for advertising that follows you across different websites.

Links and other reasons for sharing

When you follow a link to another website, its own privacy policy applies. We do not control that website or how it handles your visit. We may also share information when the law requires it or when reasonably needed to protect safety, investigate abuse or defend legal rights.

If another organization takes over Hill Policy, information may be transferred to it. Any transfer must follow the law and include appropriate protections. We will give any notice or ask for any consent the law requires.

How long we keep information

We keep information for as long as reasonably needed for its purpose. Sources and a record of changes may be kept to explain our coverage and corrections. We keep messages, contact details and security records while needed to handle requests, run and protect the site, or meet legal duties. Legal matters or security incidents may require us to keep information longer. Copies may remain in restricted backups until those backups are replaced or deleted, subject to legal requirements.

Keeping information safe

We limit access and use security measures to help protect information. No website or email service can guarantee complete security or confidentiality.

Your choices and privacy requests

You can browse without sending a report, leave optional contact details blank and manage cookies in your browser. To ask for a copy, correction or deletion of your personal information, or raise a privacy concern, email contact@hillpolicy.org. Explain what information your request concerns. Do not send sensitive identification documents.

Your rights and any limits on them depend on the law and the information involved. We may need to confirm your identity before sharing or changing information, asking only for what is reasonably needed. We will meet the deadlines that apply under the law and explain any restrictions on your request. If you disagree with our response, reply with “Privacy appeal” in the subject to ask for another review. You can also complain to a government privacy authority.

Children

Hill Policy is a general information site, not a service aimed at children under 13. We do not knowingly seek their personal information. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, contact us so we can look into it and take appropriate steps.

Changes and contact

The date above shows when this policy was last updated. We will explain important changes here and give any further notice or ask for consent the law requires. Updating this policy does not, by itself, give us permission for a new use that requires your separate consent.
