Terms of Service

NYC Network Matcher ("the app") is a relational organizing tool for volunteers. It helps a volunteer see which people in their own network they already know, so they can reach out. By using the app you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use it.

Who can use it

The app is intended for invited campaign volunteers who have the access passcode. You must be at least 18 years old and use the app only for the campaign volunteering it is meant for.

What the app does

You connect or upload your own contacts (for example LinkedIn, Google, Instagram, X, Partiful, or a phone export). The app reads them read-only and, where possible, parses them in your browserto show which of your contacts overlap with the campaign's outreach list. How your data is handled is described in our Privacy Policy.

Your responsibilities

• Only import contacts and data you have the right to access. The app reads your own account's data; do not use it to access anyone else's.
• Follow the terms of any third-party service you connect (such as LinkedIn, Google, Instagram, or X). You are responsible for using those services within their rules.
• Reach out responsibly and follow applicable laws, including those on unsolicited messages and political outreach. Respect anyone who asks not to be contacted.
• Do not attempt to break, overload, scrape beyond your own data, or gain unauthorized access to the app or its data.

Third-party services

The app works alongside services like Google and LinkedIn but is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by them. Your use of those services is governed by their own terms and privacy policies.

No warranty

The app is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind. We do not guarantee that matches are complete or accurate, or that the app will always be available or error-free.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the people operating the app are not liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of it. The app is a free volunteer tool.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. Continued use of the app after a change means you accept the updated terms. The date above shows when they were last revised.
