1. Introduction
Glasshouse ("Glasshouse," "we," "us," or "our") operates Glasshouse, a web platform that aggregates and presents publicly available U.S. congressional financial disclosure data for informational purposes. This Privacy Policy describes our practices when you access or use our website and related services (collectively, the "Service").
By using the Service, you agree to this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service. We may update this policy from time to time; the "Last updated" date above reflects the most recent revision.
2. Information we collect
We currently do not require you to create an account to browse the Service. The information we collect depends on how you use the site.
Information you provide. If you contact us (for example, by email or through social channels), we receive the content of your message and any contact details you choose to share.
Information collected automatically. When you visit the Service, we and our service providers may automatically collect certain technical and usage information, such as:
- IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, and language settings
- Pages viewed, referring URLs, approximate location derived from IP address, and timestamps
- Cookies or similar technologies used for analytics and site performance
We do not intentionally collect sensitive personal information (such as government ID numbers, financial account credentials, or precise geolocation) through the public website.
3. How we use information
We use the information we collect to:
- Operate, maintain, secure, and improve the Service
- Understand usage patterns and fix errors
- Respond to inquiries and communicate with you
- Comply with legal obligations and enforce our Terms of Service
- Protect the rights, safety, and integrity of Glasshouse, our users, and the public
We do not sell your personal information. We do not use the Service to provide personalized investment recommendations.
6. Data retention
We retain information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, unless a longer period is required by law. Log and analytics data are typically retained for a limited period aligned with our operational and security needs, after which they are deleted or de-identified where feasible.
7. Security
We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect information against unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
8. Your rights and choices
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict certain processing of your personal information, or to object to processing and receive a portable copy of data you provided. To exercise these rights, contact us at legal@tryglasshouse.ai. We may need to verify your request before responding.
California residents may have additional rights under the CCPA/CPRA, including the right to know what personal information we collect and how it is used, and the right to opt out of certain sharing (we do not sell personal information as defined by California law). We will not discriminate against you for exercising privacy rights.
If you are in the European Economic Area, United Kingdom, or Switzerland, you may also have rights under applicable data protection laws, including the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.
9. Children
The Service is not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age required in your jurisdiction), and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us personal information, contact us and we will take appropriate steps to delete it.
10. International users
Glasshouse is operated from the United States. If you access the Service from outside the U.S., you understand that your information may be processed in the U.S. or other countries where our service providers operate, which may have different data protection laws than your country.
11. Third-party links
The Service may link to third-party websites or services (for example, social media or government sources). Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies, not this one. We encourage you to review those policies before providing information to third parties.
12. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we will post the updated policy on this page and update the "Last updated" date. Your continued use of the Service after changes become effective constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
