Terms of Use
Effective October 26, 2026
By using Docket, you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, please don't use the app.
Who can use Docket
You must be at least 13 years old. You're responsible for your account and for what you post with it.
No objectionable content or abusive users
Docket has zero tolerance for objectionable content and abusive users. That includes names or group names that are hateful, harassing, sexual, violent or threatening, impersonating someone, spamming, and anything that targets a person for who they are or how they vote.
- Report it. You can report any player or group from their page in the app. We review every report within 24 hours.
- Block them. Blocking someone removes them from your friends and stops them contacting you.
- What we do. We remove objectionable names and groups, and we suspend accounts that break these rules. Names are also filtered for slurs and profanity when they're set.
About the content
- Bills and votes come from official legislature records and public data sets such as Open States, Voteview and the City of Austin. Summaries are written in plain English from each bill's official title and abstract. They're for learning and play, not legal advice, and they can contain mistakes. Each bill links to its official source.
- Filed or Fake mixes real bills with ones Docket made up. Every made-up bill is labeled as fake after you answer, and it never appears anywhere else as real.
- Lawmaker backgrounds come from Wikipedia under CC BY-SA 4.0, with a link to each article.
- Docket is not affiliated with any government, legislature, party or campaign, and it doesn't tell you how to vote.
Your account
You can delete your account at any time in the app (Profile → Privacy → Delete account). We may suspend or remove accounts that break these terms. A suspended account can still be deleted.
No warranty
Docket is provided "as is", without warranties of any kind. To the extent the law allows, we aren't liable for damages arising from your use of the app.
Changes and contact
We may update these terms; the date above shows the latest version. Questions: github.com/ybai08/docket/issues. How we handle your data is in the Privacy Policy.
