Terms of Use

The rules for using civicaiaudit.org and the findings and data on it.

Effective November 6, 2026.

About these terms

The Civic AI Audit is a project of the National Conference on Citizenship (NCoC), a nonpartisan 501(c)(3). By using this site you agree to these terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you don't agree, please don't use the site.

Not voting advice

Our findings describe what AI products said when we asked them about elections. They are research, not advice on how or whether to vote, and nothing here endorses any candidate, party or measure. For official election information, contact your state or local election office or visit vote.gov.

AI answers and other people's content

The site shows answers written by AI products, as we captured them. They can be wrong, out of date or one-sided, and showing them does not mean we agree with them. The sources those answers cited belong to their publishers. We link to them so readers can check them, but we don't control or vouch for them, and links may stop working.

Accuracy

We work to make our figures accurate and explain how we produced them on our methods pages. Still, research data has limits and errors, and we correct them when we find them. The site and its contents are provided "as is," without warranties of any kind.

Using our work

You are welcome to quote, cite, share and build on our findings, charts and data, for any purpose, under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 (CC BY 4.0). Please credit "Civic AI Audit, National Conference on Citizenship" and link to the page you used. This license covers NCoC's own work. It doesn't cover the text of AI answers or the content of cited sources, which may belong to others.

NCoC's name and logo are its trademarks. Don't use them to suggest that NCoC endorses you, a product, a candidate or a cause.

Accounts

Signing in with Google gives access to our data explorers and downloads. Keep your account to yourself. We may limit, suspend or close access at any time, for example to protect the site or if these terms are broken.

Acceptable use

Please don't:

• try to get around access controls, or probe, scan or attack the site;
• collect data in a way that slows the site for others (ask us for bulk data instead);
• misrepresent our findings, or present altered figures as ours;
• use the site to break the law or infringe anyone's rights.

Limitation of liability

To the extent the law allows, NCoC is not liable for any indirect, incidental or consequential damages arising from your use of the site, or for any damages from relying on its content.

Changes

We may update these terms. We'll post the new version here with a new effective date; continuing to use the site after that means you accept the change.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the District of Columbia, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules.
