Privacy Policy

Effective date: July 28, 2026 · Last updated: July 28, 2026

Walk & Vote ("Walk & Vote," "we," "us") provides door-to-door canvassing and field-logging software for political campaigns and organizations. This policy explains what information we handle and how.

Who controls the data

There are two kinds of data, with two different roles:

• Account data (the managers and canvassers who sign in) — we act as the controller.
• Contact / canvass data (the information a campaign's team records about the people they contact) — the campaign is the controller and Walk & Vote is a processor acting on the campaign's instructions. Each campaign is responsible for having a lawful basis to collect and use that information and for complying with applicable election, communications, and data-protection laws.

What we collect

• Account information: name, email address, mobile phone number, and a securely hashed password.
• Campaign setup: campaign name, state/counties/towns, result buttons, and briefing email recipients you enter.
• Canvass records: the data your team logs at each stop — address or event name, result tags, notes, an optional person name, and optional email/phone for people who provide them, plus an optional approximate location (from your device's GPS if enabled, or geocoded from a typed address).
• Payment information: processed by Stripe. We do not receive or store full card numbers.
• Technical data: basic information your browser sends (e.g., IP address, device/browser type) used to operate and secure the service.

How we use it

To provide the service: shared team logging, dashboards, follow-up to-dos, maps, reports, and exports; to process plan payments; to maintain security and prevent abuse; and to contact you about your account. We do not sell personal information, and we do not use your canvass data for our own marketing.

Service providers we share with

• Supabase — authentication and database hosting.
• Netlify — application hosting.
• Stripe — payment processing.
• U.S. Census Bureau geocoder — converting typed addresses to map coordinates.

These providers process data on our behalf under their own terms and safeguards. We may also disclose information if required by law.

Data retention

Campaign and canvass data is kept until the campaign deletes it (managers can delete a campaign and all its data at any time) or the account is closed. Deleting a campaign permanently removes its contacts, to-dos, canvassers, and settings.

Security

We use access controls, encrypted connections (HTTPS/TLS), and reputable hosting providers to protect data, and we work to improve these safeguards over time. No online service can be guaranteed perfectly secure. Because canvass data can include personal information about members of the public, campaigns should collect and share only what they need and handle it responsibly.

Your choices

You can access, correct, export (CSV), or delete data through the app, or contact us for help. Individuals who wish to know whether a campaign holds information about them should contact that campaign, which controls its own records.

Children

Walk & Vote is intended for adults running or volunteering on campaigns and is not directed to children under 16.

Changes

We may update this policy; the "last updated" date above will change and material changes will be noted in the app.
