About this site

Full Transparency helps people search federal legislation and understand official congressional voting records. The site does not require user accounts and does not create ratings or political profiles about its visitors.

Information processed when you use the site

• Searches: The words or questions you submit are processed to retrieve relevant legislative records from official government data services.
• Representative lookup: If you choose to enter an address, it is sent to the U.S. Census Bureau geocoder to identify the applicable congressional district. Full Transparency does not intentionally save the address or use it for advertising.
• Technical information: Hosting, security, and service providers may process information normally transmitted by a browser, such as IP address, device and browser type, requested pages, and request times. This information may be used to operate, secure, and diagnose the site.
