US Political Ledger is a public-records explorer. It is for fun and education, not investing. This page says what stays on your device and what a typical web host may see. There are no user accounts.

What we do not collect

  • No sign-in, email, password, or profile.
  • No advertising pixels, no third-party analytics tags, no sale of personal data.
  • Watchlists, named views, theme, and “new since last visit” are not sent to a server.
  • We do not ask for location, contacts, or payment information.

What stays in this browser

The site stores a few preferences in this browser’s local storage (and a short-lived session marker for the current visit). Clearing site data, using a private window, or switching devices removes them.

  • Color theme (light or dark).
  • Politicians and tickers you follow, including paper-follow cash amounts.
  • Last-used trade filters and any named views you save.
  • A visit cursor so “new since last visit” can compare filing dates.

You can export and import that workspace from the Watchlist page. That file never leaves your computer unless you send it yourself.

What the site loads

Pages, public disclosure data, and (on ticker pages) historical close series are static files. Filters and estimates run in this browser. The site does not call a live brokerage or market API from your session.

Hosting logs

The site is served from a content-delivery network. Like most public websites, the host may record ordinary request logs (for example approximate time, IP address, user agent, and the path requested) for security, abuse prevention, and reliability. We do not use those logs to build advertising profiles.

Children

This site is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Contact

Questions, corrections, and press: usledger@cogentnet.com. Emailing us is voluntary. We use that inbox to reply, not as a marketing list.

Filing and digest alerts, when sent, come from uslalerts@cogentnet.com. That address is a sender, not a help desk. Write to usledger@cogentnet.com if you need a person.

Changes

If this policy changes, we will update the date at the top of this page. Continued use after a change means you have read the new text.
