The short version
We collect nothing.
No accounts, no cookies, no analytics, no forms, and no server that ever receives your photo. Everything below is just that sentence, said carefully.

Privacy
When you add the badge, your photo is opened and composited by your own browser, on your own device. The finished image is saved straight to your downloads. It is never transmitted to us or to anyone else. You can disconnect from the internet after the page loads and the tool still works exactly the same.
Because of that, we hold no personal data about you. There is nothing for us to share, sell, hand over, or lose in a breach. We do not set cookies and we do not run analytics or tracking of any kind.
The site links out to Vote.org so you can check your registration. Once you follow that link you are on their site, under their privacy policy, not ours.
If this ever changes — for example if we add privacy-respecting traffic measurement — this page will say so, and it will say what is measured.
Terms
Open to Vote is free to use and provided as is, without warranty of any kind. We can’t promise it works on every device or browser, and we don’t control LinkedIn. Their upload flow can change without notice.
Your photo stays yours. You keep every right in it that you had before. We never receive a copy, so there is nothing for us to claim, licence, or use.
Please don’t use the badge in a way that implies Open to Vote endorses a political party, a candidate, or a ballot measure. It doesn’t, and it never will.
Open to Vote is an independent project with no affiliation to LinkedIn Corporation.
Nothing on this site is legal or voting advice. Confirm registration rules and deadlines with your state or local election office.
Copyright and licence
The Open to Vote badge artwork, wordmark, and site copy are © HoneyWired.
You may use the badge free of charge, without asking us first. Put it on your profile photo. Share it. Encourage your team, your members, or your readers to do the same. Individuals, companies, nonprofits, schools, and membership organisations are all welcome, and no permission or licence fee is required.
Two conditions, and they’re the same two the project runs on:
- Keep it nonpartisan. Never place the badge alongside a party, a candidate, or a ballot measure.
- Don’t alter the artwork, and don’t present it as your own.
The typefaces are Archivo and Public Sans, both under the SIL Open Font License. Their licences ship with the site.
