Information removal requests

What Rallybase publishes, and what we never publish

Rallybase publishes public government records from official government websites and from public datasets built from government sources, showing where each record came from and, where we hold it, the date we read it. For public officials and offices, our aim is to show official office contact information only. We do not seek out home addresses, birth dates or family details, and we withhold a phone number or email address that we can identify as personal.

Who may request removal

Any public official, judge, prosecutor, sheriff, law-enforcement officer, election worker, or other individual, or their authorized agent, may ask us to remove personal contact information or any record field that contains non-public personal details.

How to submit a request

Email privacy@rallybase.org, or use the form on this page. Please include the person’s name, the specific information to be removed, and if possible the Rallybase page address, so we can locate it immediately. You do not need an account.

What happens next

You may ask about any field, and we review every request and act on it within 24 hours of receipt. For a phone number, email address or mailing address of a place, county or school-district official, an accepted request adds that field to our suppression list, and it stays off the site whichever page we read next. For anything else, including the details of a state or federal official, we review the request and tell you what we can and cannot do. We email you our reply once the request has been handled.

A change reaches the site with our next deployment, and a cached page of ours can show the earlier version until that cache expires. Copies already saved in a browser, in an export or on someone else’s site are outside it.

We keep a removal request and our reply only as long as needed to act on it and show it was handled. The suppression list keeps a key, not the value.
