Privacy Policy

Last updated: February 2026

Simple Gov (“we”, “us”, “our”) is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights.

Information we collect

When you create an account, we collect:

• Your name and email address
• Your postal code (optional, used to identify your riding and local MP)
• Your policy values and positions (if you choose to set them)

We also collect standard server logs (IP address, browser type, pages visited) to keep the site running and diagnose issues.

How we use your information

• To provide your account and personalized features (values alignment, local MP)
• To send you account-related emails (verification, password resets)
• To improve the site and fix bugs

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for marketing purposes.

AI processing

We use artificial intelligence to generate plain-language summaries of bills and to analyze how legislation aligns with policy values. Your personal values selections may be used to compute alignment scores displayed to you, but they are not shared with AI providers or any third party.

Data storage and security

Your data is stored in a secure database. Passwords are hashed using industry-standard algorithms and are never stored in plain text. We use HTTPS for all connections.

Cookies

We use a session cookie to keep you signed in. We do not use tracking cookies or third-party analytics that track you across other websites.

Your rights

You can:

• Access and update your account information at any time
• Delete your account and associated data by contacting us
• Request a copy of the data we hold about you

Data sources

All parliamentary data (bills, votes, member information) is sourced from publicly available Parliament of Canada feeds and is not considered personal information.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. If we make significant changes, we will notify users through the site.
