Frequently Asked Questions

What is GovLink?

GovLink is a unified search and chat interface that helps you find answers from official U.S. government sources. We aggregate information from 29,000+ federal websites so you don't have to search each one individually.

Is GovLink an official government website?

GovLink is a project of the National Design Studio at the General Services Administration (GSA), a U.S. federal agency. While we're built by government, we're a tool to help you navigate government services — not a replacement for any specific agency.

Does GovLink collect my personal information?

No. We don't create accounts, track users, or collect personal data. Your questions are processed to find answers and then discarded. Theme and language preferences are stored only in your browser's localStorage.

How does GovLink protect my privacy?

We use no analytics, tracking cookies, or advertising. Questions are sent directly to government APIs over encrypted connections. No third parties receive your data. See our <a href='/privacy-policy' class='text-blue-600 dark:text-blue-400 hover:underline'>Privacy Policy</a> for details.

Can I trust the answers from GovLink?

Every answer cites its official .gov source. You can always click through to verify on the original agency website. However, government information changes — always verify critical details on the official site before making important decisions.

Does GovLink work in languages other than English?

Yes! GovLink supports English, Spanish (Español), and French (Français). Use the language selector in the footer to switch.

Do I need to download an app?

No. GovLink works in any modern web browser on any device — phone, tablet, or computer. No installation required.

What if GovLink doesn't have my answer?

If we can't find an answer, we'll tell you and suggest the most relevant agency websites to visit directly. You can also use the 'See how it works' link to understand our coverage.

Is GovLink accessible?

Yes. We follow WCAG 2.1 AA guidelines including keyboard navigation, screen reader support, sufficient contrast, and reduced motion preferences.
