Privacy policy

Effective September 6, 2026. This policy explains the information the site and its service providers may process and the choices available to visitors.

Reviewed Sep 9, 2026

Scope and contact

Gov Influence is the public project name, and info@govinfluence.com is the privacy contact. This policy covers site visits, optional analytics, Kit email requests, Boeing analyst questions, feedback, and direct email communications.

Hosting and ordinary logs

The Next.js site is hosted on Vercel. Gov Influence does not maintain an application database for visitor accounts, contact forms, search history, analyst questions, or subscriber records. Hosting and security services may process request data such as network and device information under their own terms. Gov Influence does not promise a fixed retention period for those service logs.

Optional Google Analytics

When analytics is configured, Google Analytics 4 loads only after a visitor chooses Allow analytics. Site code sends templated page paths and approved broad event labels; it excludes search text, email addresses, contact text, AI questions and answers, political-interest classifications, response IDs, and full source URLs. If analytics is not configured, the control and Google tag do not load.

Kit email updates

When the email form is available and submitted, the email address and form fields are sent directly to Kit for processing. Gov Influence does not use a Kit API key or keep a separate subscriber database in this application. Kit's handling of the request, any follow-up email, unsubscribe options, and retention are governed by the subscription experience and Kit's terms.

Boeing AI analyst

When enabled, the server sends a visitor's question and a bounded set of current reviewed Boeing-related claims to OpenAI's Responses API with store set to false and no tools. The model returns claim IDs; Gov Influence assembles the visible answer and official links server-side. Gov Influence does not persist question or answer text in an application database or analytics. In-memory hashed-address rate buckets and response feedback counts are temporary per server instance. OpenAI says API data is not used for training unless the customer opts in and that default abuse-monitoring logs may retain content for up to 30 days.

Email communications

If you email Gov Influence, your provider and the receiving mail service process the address and message so the inquiry can be handled. Email content is not sent to GA4 by site code. Retention and deletion handling for the mailbox have not been documented publicly. Do not send credentials, payment details, private contributor information, or unnecessary sensitive personal data.

Retention, deletion, and rights requests

Different services keep information for different periods, so Gov Influence does not promise one universal retention period. You may ask about or request correction or deletion of information Gov Influence controls by emailing info@govinfluence.com. Applicable rights vary by location and circumstance.

Children and cross-border processing

Gov Influence is a general public-record information service and is not directed to children under 13. Do not submit a child's personal information through email, signup, or AI questions; report an accidental submission for review. Vercel, Google, Kit, OpenAI, and email providers may process data in more than one jurisdiction under their terms.
