Privacy Policy
Last updated: November 2026
Information We Collect
GovLink collects minimal information to provide our service:
- Questions you ask: Your queries are sent to government APIs to retrieve official answers.
- Technical data: Standard server logs (IP address, browser type, request time) for security and performance.
- Preferences: Theme (light/dark/system) and language choice, stored locally in your browser.
Information We Do NOT Collect
- No personal identifiers (name, email, SSN, etc.)
- No tracking cookies or analytics
- No advertising identifiers
- No behavioral profiles
- No location data beyond what's needed for your query
How We Use Your Information
- To answer your questions using official government sources
- To remember your theme and language preferences
- To ensure service security and availability
Data Sharing
We share your questions only with the specific government APIs needed to answer them. We do not share data with third parties for advertising or analytics.
Data Retention
Questions are processed in real-time and not stored after your session ends. Preference data (theme, language) persists in your browser's localStorage until you clear it.
Your Rights
You can clear your local preferences at any time by clearing your browser data for govlink.example. Since we don't create accounts or store personal data, there's no account to delete.
Security
All connections use HTTPS. Government API communications use authenticated, encrypted channels.
