Privacy Policy

1. Campaign Data and Data Sources

VoteRunner is a field management tool that helps campaign organizations coordinate door-to-door canvassing and voter outreach. The App displays voter and household information that is provided exclusively by your campaign organization.

VoteRunner does not compile, aggregate, scrape, or collect personal information from any public source, public database, social media platform, government record, or third-party data provider. All voter and household data displayed in the App originates solely from the campaign organization that manages your campaign.

Campaign organizations are responsible for ensuring they have the appropriate legal authority to use the data they import into VoteRunner. By using the App, you acknowledge that you are an authorized representative of your campaign organization and agree to handle all campaign data in accordance with applicable laws and your organization’s data use policies.

2. Information We Collect

We collect the following categories of information directly from you or on behalf of your campaign organization:

a) Account Information

• Email address and password (for authentication)

b) Campaign Profile

• Display name
• Campaign name
• Political party affiliation
• State and district
• Election year and type

c) Visit Data (User-Created)

• Visit outcomes (e.g., successful contact, no contact)
• Support rankings
• Notes entered by the user
• Timestamps
• Interaction type (home visit, phone call, in-person)
• Household members contacted

d) Campaign-Provided Data

• Household addresses and geographic information

This data is imported by your campaign administrator through a secure server-side process. The App does not collect this data from end users, public sources, or any external system. See Section 1 for details.

e) Location Data

We request location access (“When In Use” only) to display your position on the map relative to campaign households. Location data is used locally on your device for map positioning. It is not transmitted to external services, stored on our servers, or shared with any third party.

3. How We Use Your Information

• Product Improvement — Analyze anonymous, aggregated usage patterns to improve the App experience

We do NOT use your information for:

• Advertising or ad targeting
• Building individual profiles from public data sources
• Selling or renting to third parties
• Automated decision-making or profiling beyond campaign operations

4. Data Storage and Security

Cloud Storage

Database Security

5. Third-Party Services

The App integrates with the following third-party services:

• Supabase (supabase.com) — Used for authentication, database hosting, and data synchronization. Data shared with Supabase includes account information, campaign profile, visit logs, and campaign-provided household data.
• PostHog (posthog.com) — Used for anonymous product analytics to understand how features are used and improve the App. PostHog receives anonymized usage events only (e.g., screens viewed, features used). No voter names, addresses, phone numbers, or other personally identifiable campaign data is sent to PostHog.

We do NOT integrate with:

• Advertising networks

6. Location Data

• Permission Type: “When In Use” — location is only accessed while the App is in the foreground
• Purpose: Display your position on the campaign map
• Transmission: Location data is processed locally on your device. It is NOT sent to our servers or any third party
• Control: You can revoke location access at any time in iOS Settings → VoteRunner → Location. The App remains fully functional without location access

7. Device APIs

The App accesses the following device APIs for functional purposes only:

• UserDefaults — Storing app preferences
• File Timestamp — Checking cached data freshness
• Disk Space — Verifying available offline storage
• System Boot Time — Generating session identifiers

None of these APIs are used for tracking, fingerprinting, or identifying users.
