Reading Praveta does not require an account

You can read bills, plain-language briefs, representative profiles, recorded votes, published local government information, and community poll results without creating an account and without signing in. Praveta does not require you to identify yourself to read public government information.

Information Praveta collects

Praveta collects the following information.

Account information

When you create a Praveta account, Praveta collects your email address, a password, and a username you choose. Authentication is handled by Supabase, and Praveta does not store your plain-text password.

Location you provide

If you choose to personalize Praveta, you may provide a ZIP code. Praveta uses it to identify the state, congressional district, county, and participating local organizations relevant to you. Praveta does not collect GPS or precise device location on the web.

Follows and preferences

If you follow bills, representatives, or topics, Praveta stores those choices with your account so they are available when you sign in. Notification preferences you set are also stored with your account.

Poll participation

If you respond to a community poll while signed in, Praveta records your response and associates it with your account so that each account participates once per poll.

Questions you ask

If you use Ask Praveta, the question you submit and the related official source material are sent to a Praveta server function in order to generate an answer.

Your account information, ZIP code, follows, and preferences are private to your account. Praveta's database access rules are configured so that a signed-in user can read and change only their own account records.
