Your Church's Data — What We Do With It

*Last updated: [DATE]*

The short version

You upload your membership list. We check it against Alaska's public voter records to see who voted and who didn't. We give you the report. Then we delete your list — within 24 hours, permanently.

We keep the totals from your report so we can show how churches across Alaska are doing. We do not keep any names.

No one can see how any person voted. That's not us being careful — that information doesn't exist anywhere, for anyone.

What you give us

When you create an account: your church's name, your name, your email address, and a password.

When you run a report: a file containing your members' names, and — if you include them — their addresses. Nothing else in your file is used. If your spreadsheet has phone numbers, giving records, birthdays, or notes, we ignore those columns entirely and they are deleted along with the rest.

What we do with your file

We compare the names and addresses in your file against Alaska's public voter registration and voter history records, which we purchase from the State of Alaska. That comparison tells us, for each person on your list, whether the state has a record that they voted in the election you selected.

That's the whole of it. We don't enrich your list, cross-reference it against anything else, or look anything up beyond the voter file.

What we delete, and when

Your uploaded file and every individual result derived from it are permanently deleted within 24 hours of your report being built.

The 24 hours exist for one reason: so you can come back the same day and download your report again without re-uploading. After that window closes, your list is gone from our systems and cannot be recovered — not by you, not by us, not by anyone who asks us for it.

If you want it gone sooner, there's a Delete now button on your report. It takes effect immediately.

What we keep

We keep the totals from your report, and nothing that identifies a person. For a report on 412 members, what survives looks like this:

Mount City Church · November 2026 General · 412 members analyzed · 187 voted · 131 registered but did not vote · 79 not registered · 15 needed review · members registered across 7 House districts

That's it. No names, no addresses, no way to work backward to an individual. We keep it so you can see your church's own history across elections, and so we can show combined, anonymous numbers for all participating churches.

We also keep your account details — church name, your name, your email — until you close your account.

What we can never see

Nobody can see how you or anyone else voted. Your ballot is secret and always has been. The public record shows only *whether* a person cast a ballot, never what was on it.

If anyone ever tells you this tool can show how a member voted, they are wrong. It can't, no tool can, and any product claiming otherwise is either mistaken or lying to you.

Where the voter data comes from

Alaska's voter registration list and voter participation records are public records, available from the Alaska Division of Elections to anyone who asks and pays the fee. We purchase them the same way any campaign, journalist, or researcher does.

Alaska law keeps certain things out of that file — dates of birth, Social Security numbers, driver's license numbers, and signatures are all confidential and are not available to us. Some voters have also asked the state to keep their home address private, and we handle those records accordingly.

Who else touches your file

Your file is processed on servers we rent from a cloud hosting provider. That provider stores the data on our behalf during the brief window it exists, under a contract that bars them from accessing or using it for their own purposes. No other company, contractor, or individual receives your file.

We do not use analytics tools, advertising trackers, or third-party scripts on the pages where your data is handled.

What we will never do

• We will never contact anyone on your membership list.
• We will never sell, rent, or trade your list.
• We will never give your list — or any part of it — to a campaign, a party, a candidate, a PAC, or an advocacy group. Not for money, not for free, not as a favor.
• We will never publish your church's individual results. The combined dashboard shows totals across all participating churches; your church's own numbers are yours alone.
• We will never list your church by name without you choosing that option.

If we are ever served with a subpoena or legal order for church data, we will tell you before we respond, unless the law forbids us from doing so.

How we protect it

Your file is encrypted while it travels to us and while it sits on our servers. Access is limited to the people who operate the service, and every access is logged. Deletion is automatic and verified — it doesn't depend on someone remembering to run it.

If something goes wrong

If your data is ever exposed, we will tell you directly and promptly — by email and on the site — what happened, what was affected, and what we're doing about it. We will not wait for a legal deadline to force the disclosure.

Your choices

You can delete your report immediately from the report page. You can close your account at any time, which removes your account details and every stored total associated with your church. Email us and we'll confirm it's done.

Changes to this policy

If we change how we handle your data, we'll email every church with an account before the change takes effect. We won't quietly update this page and call it notice.

If anything here is unclear, ask. This is your congregation's information and you should be able to explain to them exactly what happened to it.
