1. Who We Are

1600 Penn ("we," "us," or "our") operates the Grade the POTUS mobile application ("App"). Our contact address is Indian Harbor Beach, FL 32937. For privacy questions, contact us at mail@1600penn.info.

2. Information We Collect

Automatically Collected

Device identifier: A randomly generated anonymous ID stored on your device. This is not linked to your name or email address.
Approximate location: State and city-level location (not precise GPS) used to display regional grade data.
Push notification token: A token assigned by your device's operating system used to deliver daily reminders and alerts. You may opt out at any time in your device settings.
Usage data: Which stories you graded, when, and what grade you assigned.

Voluntarily Provided

Profile information: If you choose to complete your profile, you may provide political party affiliation, voter registration status, age group, ethnicity, and employment status. This data is optional and used solely to display demographic breakdowns of aggregate grades. It is never sold.
Representative preferences: If you opt into the "Tag Reps" feature, you provide a ZIP code to identify your federal representatives. This ZIP code is used only for that lookup and is not stored after the lookup completes. You may optionally save representative X/Twitter handles to be included in your public grade posts.
Payment information: If you purchase a premium subscription, payment is processed by Stripe. We do not store your credit card number. We receive only a payment confirmation token and subscription status from Stripe.
