Privacy Policy

Effective October 1, 2026

Align My Vote (align.goodpeoplevote.org) is run by Good People Vote (“we”). It helps Alabama voters see which candidates on their ballot share their views. You can take the quiz without giving us your name or email. This policy explains what we collect, why, and the choices you have.

What we collect

When you take the quiz: your congressional district and your answers to the quiz statements. These are linked to a random anonymous ID, not to your name.

If you use “Not Sure?” to find your district: your device’s location is used only on your device to work out which district you’re in. Your location is never sent to us; only the district number is saved.

If you email yourself your results: the email address you enter. We save it with your results so we can send them again later. If you check “Also send me updates,” we also add it to our mailing list.

If you join the waitlist: your first and last name, email address, phone number, and ZIP code. Joining the waitlist adds you to our mailing list so we can tell you about Align My Vote and Good People Vote.

If you leave feedback: your star rating, any comment you write, and your district.

If you share your results: we save a snapshot of your results (district, top concerns, and candidate matches). Anyone with that link can view it.

Usage information: we use Google Analytics to understand how people use the site (for example, which pages are visited and whether people finish the quiz). We do not send your individual quiz answers, your email, or your name to Google Analytics.

How we use it

  • To score your quiz and show your candidate matches.
  • To email you your results when you ask us to.
  • To send mailing-list updates if you joined the waitlist or opted in.
  • To improve the quiz and the site.

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it with candidates or campaigns.

Cookies

We use a small number of cookies:

  • Session cookies that keep your anonymous ID so your answers and results stay connected while you use the site.
  • An analytics ID cookie (amv_sid, kept for up to 90 days) that lets us connect site usage to quiz sessions.
  • Google Analytics cookies used to measure site traffic.

You can block or clear cookies in your browser; the quiz may not work correctly without session cookies.

Who we share it with

We use these service providers to run Align My Vote. They process data on our behalf:

  • Supabase — database, anonymous sign-in, and file storage.
  • Resend — sending emails and managing our mailing list.
  • Google Analytics — site usage measurement.
  • Netlify — website hosting.

Some candidate photos are loaded from a public GitHub-hosted image library, so your browser connects to GitHub when it shows them. We may also share information if required by law.

How long we keep it

  • Quiz sessions, answers, feedback, shared results, and saved emails are deleted automatically after one year without activity. Shared result links stop working at that point.
  • Waitlist and mailing-list information is kept until you unsubscribe or ask us to delete it.

Your choices

  • Unsubscribe from our emails anytime using the link in any mailing list email.
  • Ask us to access, correct, or delete your information by emailing admin@goodpeoplevote.org.

Children

Align My Vote is meant for voters and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

Security

We use access controls so each visitor can reach only their own quiz data, and we limit who on our team can access stored information. No system is perfectly secure, but we work to protect your information.

Changes

If we change this policy, we’ll update the date at the top of this page.
