When this data is sent to OpenAI, it is subject to OpenAI’s privacy policy.
TMR may request access or permission to location-based information from your device. TMR uses GPS and other technologies to collect geolocation data that tells us your current location This is used to determine your congressional district and the identity of your representative in Congress. Location-based information is never sent to TMR’s servers or anywhere outside of your device. You can opt out of allowing TMR to collect this information either by refusing access to the information or by disabling your Location setting on your device. However, if you choose to opt out, TMR may not function.
TMR does not process sensitive information.
TMR automatically collects certain information when you use or navigate TMR. This information does not reveal your specific identity (like your name or contact information) but may include device and usage information, such as your IP address, browser and device characteristics, operating system, language preferences, referring URLs, device name, country, location, information about how and when you use TMR, and other technical information. This information is primarily needed to maintain the security and operation of TMR, and for our internal analytics and reporting purposes.

TMR does not sell or share personal information with any third party.
TMR may link to third-party websites, online services, or mobile applications that are not affiliated with us and which may link to other websites, services, or applications. Accordingly, TMR does not make any guarantee regarding any such third parties, and TMR will not be liable for any loss or damage caused by the use of such third-party websites, services, or applications. The inclusion of a link towards a third-party website, service, or application does not imply an endorsement by TMR. TMR cannot guarantee the safety and privacy of data you provide to any third parties. Any data collected by third parties is not covered by this privacy notice. TMR are not responsible for the content or privacy and security practices and policies of any third parties, including other websites, services, or applications that may be linked to or from TMR.

No purpose in this notice will require TMR keeping your personal information for longer than the period of time during which you use TMR.
When TMR has no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, TMR will either delete or anonymize such information, or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then TMR will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.
TMR has implemented appropriate and reasonable technical and organizational security measures designed to protect the security of any personal information TMR processes. However, despite our safeguards and efforts to secure your information, no electronic transmission over the Internet or information storage technology can be guaranteed to be 100% secure, so TMR cannot promise or guarantee that hackers, cybercriminals, or other unauthorized third parties will not be able to defeat TMR’s security and improperly collect, access, steal, or modify your information. Although TMR will do our best to protect your personal information, transmission of personal information to and from TMR is at your own risk. You should only access TMR within a secure environment.

Most web browsers and some mobile operating systems and mobile applications include a Do-Not-Track (“DNT”) feature or setting you can activate to signal your privacy preference not to have data about your online browsing activities monitored and collected. At this stage no uniform technology standard for recognizing and implementing DNT signals has been finalized. As such, TMR does not currently respond to DNT browser signals or any other mechanism that automatically communicates your choice not to be tracked online. If a standard for online tracking is adopted that TMR must follow in the future, TMR will inform you about that practice in a revised version of this privacy notice.
TMR may update this privacy notice from time to time. The updated version will be indicated by an updated “Revised” date and the updated version will be effective as soon as it is accessible. If TMR makes material changes to this privacy notice, TMR may notify you either by prominently posting a notice of such changes or by directly sending you a notification. TMR encourages you to review this privacy notice frequently to be informed of how TMR is protecting your information.
