Pocket Congress does not collect personal information. The app does send minimal usage statistics so I can learn how people are using it, but steps have been taken to ensure the data is not used for any sort of ad personalization or to track you across different services. I cannot link any data to your identity.

Location Usage

It takes trust to let an app know your location. If you share your location with Pocket Congress, know that it is sent to the Pocket Congress server, rounded to about 300 feet of accuracy, in order to look up your congressional district. Your location is encrypted in transit and never shared with third parties. If you feel uncomfortable with the level of granularity, Pocket Congress is usually still able to ascertain your congressional district with precise location off.
