1. Acceptance of terms

By accessing or using this website, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use and by our Privacy & Cookies notice. If you do not agree, please do not use the site. We may update these terms from time to time, and your continued use after changes take effect means you accept the revised terms.

2. About this site

Gov Transparency Project is an independent, non-partisan, informational and editorial publication about U.S. government transparency. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or operated by the United States government or any federal, state, or local agency. References to government bodies, programs, officials, or data are for identification and commentary only and do not imply any endorsement or official status.

3. No professional advice

All content on this site is provided for general informational and educational purposes only. It is not financial, investment, legal, tax, accounting, or other professional advice, and nothing here is a recommendation to buy, sell, or hold any security or to take any particular action. Do not rely on the site to make financial, legal, or other decisions. Always consult a qualified professional about your specific situation before acting.

4. Accuracy & data disclaimer

The figures, charts, and summaries on this site are aggregated and derived from third-party public sources — for example the Federal Election Commission (FEC), QuiverQuant, the Federal Reserve (FRED), the U.S. Treasury, and Congress.gov. These sources may contain errors, omissions, delays, or reporting lags, and our aggregation or presentation may introduce further inaccuracies. All content is provided "as is," without any warranty as to accuracy, completeness, timeliness, or fitness for any purpose.

Important: the fact that a campaign contribution, financial disclosure, or stock trade is shown on this site is drawn from public disclosures and is not an allegation, and not proof, of any wrongdoing, illegality, conflict of interest, or impropriety by any person or entity. Disclosed activity is, in the ordinary case, entirely lawful. Nothing on this site should be read as stating or implying that any individual has acted unlawfully or improperly. Always verify figures against the official primary source before relying on them.

5. No warranties

The site and all of its content are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, whether express or implied, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement, and any warranty that the site will be uninterrupted, secure, error-free, or free of harmful components.

6. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, neither Gov Transparency Project nor the operators of this site will be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, punitive, or exemplary damages, or for any loss of profits, data, goodwill, or other intangible losses, arising out of or relating to your use of (or inability to use) the site or your reliance on any content, even if advised of the possibility of such damages. Your sole and exclusive remedy if you are dissatisfied with the site is to stop using it.
