Privacy Policy

LDAFile protects your privacy. LDAFile does not share its subscriber list or community members with third parties.

LDAFile Community

The LDAFile Community is a free interactive service at LDAFile.com. Community members can post messages and comment on messages from other members.

Community members acknowledge that their chosen screen name and any content they post will be public on LDAFile.com. Your email address is required to sign up but will not be disclosed to third parties.

LDAFile Subscription

LDAFile collects Registrant information provided by you during the subscription process. This information is required by the Lobbying Disclosure Act and includes your name, email address, business name, business address, and business phone number.

LDAFile transmits your LDA forms data directly to Congress. You should be aware that these forms are made public by Congress after they are processed. Once they are submitted to Congress, they cannot be edited. If you made a mistake, you will need to file an amendment.

While the processed forms are made public, the LDAFile database is not. Only subscribers can access the system, and subscribers can only access their own data.

LDAFile contacts its subscribers with service related notifications, updates, and Lobbying Disclosure Act information.

Take these steps to protect your account information:

• Use a firewall to prevent unauthorized access to your computer.
• Use a virus-checking program and keep it up to date.
• Keep your operating system and programs up-to-date.
• If you share a computer with others, close all active programs and log-out before leaving the computer.
• If you use file-sharing programs, be sure to restrict all other folders or directories to “no share”.
• Choose a user id that is not the same as a government issued identifier or your birthday or some other date or word that is either easily guessed or could cause harm if someone else learned it.
• Choose a strong password using a combination of letters, numbers and special characters that are meaningful to you and yet not easily guessed by someone else. Keep your password private.

No public database

LDAFile does not maintain a public database of LDA filings. A public, searchable database can be found on the House and Senate web sites. Once filed with the House and Senate, all reports are public

"At Least 250 Lobbyists Fail to Disclose Contributions"

Don't let this happen to you. The Honest Leadership and Open Government Act significantly increased reporting requirements. LDAFile helps you stay on top of lobbying disclosure compliance. Get updates and guidance on the Lobbying Disclosure Act, notifications of upcoming deadlines, and information you need file accurately and on-time.
