We do not sell, rent, or share personal information.
5. Third-Party Links
The Website links to official government websites such as Congress.gov and the Federal Register.
When you click an external link:

We are not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party websites.

We rely on standard infrastructure and security measures to maintain the integrity and availability of the Website.
7. Children’s Privacy
Explain the Law does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 (or any age).
Because we do not collect personal data directly from users, we do not knowingly process children’s information.

If you access the Website from outside the United States, you do so on your own initiative and are responsible for compliance with local laws.
