Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using Congress Trades ("the site"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.

Description of Service

Congress Trades aggregates and displays publicly available STOCK Act disclosures filed by US Congress members. The site provides tools for browsing, filtering, and analysing this public data. It is an informational service only.

Not Financial Advice

Nothing on this site constitutes financial, investment, legal, or tax advice. All data is presented for informational and transparency purposes only. You should not rely on this site to make investment decisions. Consult a qualified financial advisor before making any investment.

Estimated returns shown are illustrative calculations based on publicly reported trade ranges and historical prices. They are not predictions of future performance and do not account for position sizing, partial sales, dividends, taxes, or other factors.

Data Accuracy

We make reasonable efforts to display accurate data, but we do not guarantee the completeness, accuracy, or timeliness of any information on this site. Source data may contain errors, late filings, or amendments. Always verify against official government disclosures before relying on any specific figure.

Permitted Use

You may use this site for personal, non-commercial research and informational purposes.

You may not:

  • Scrape or systematically extract data beyond normal browsing without a paid API plan
  • Use the site to build a competing product that resells our curated data
  • Attempt to circumvent any rate limiting or access controls
  • Use the site in any way that violates applicable law

API Access

API access is provided subject to additional rate limits and terms published at the time of launch. Paid API plans confer a licence to use the data within the limits of the selected plan.

Intellectual Property

The underlying congressional trade data is public domain. Our aggregation, formatting, analysis, and derived metrics (estimated returns, sector conflict flags, leaderboard rankings) are our own work product. Reproduction of our derived datasets or substantial portions of our UI without permission is prohibited.

Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Congress Trades and its operators shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the site or reliance on any data displayed. Your use is at your own risk.
