Effective date

This Privacy Policy is effective as of December 15, 2025, and may be updated from time to time.

Information we may collect

• Information you provide: when you email us or submit information through a volunteer form or other sign-up, you may provide your name, email address, phone number, address, and message content.

• Donation-related information: donations are processed by the donation platform you choose (e.g., ActBlue). The campaign may receive donor information as provided through that platform (such as name, address, and contribution details) as required for compliance and reporting.

• Technical and usage information: when you visit the site, we (and our service providers) may collect information such as IP address, device/browser type, pages viewed, approximate location derived from IP, referral source, and timestamps.

• Cookies and similar technologies: see “Cookies & Analytics” below.

How we use information

• Campaign operations: respond to messages, coordinate volunteers, send updates you request, and manage campaign activities.

• Website performance: maintain, secure, and improve the site; troubleshoot issues; and understand which pages are most helpful to visitors.

• Compliance: comply with applicable laws (including campaign finance and recordkeeping requirements), enforce our policies, and protect against fraud or abuse.

Cookies & Analytics

• We may use cookies, local storage, pixels, or similar technologies for site functionality and basic analytics.

• Analytics help us understand overall traffic (e.g., which pages are visited) and improve the site. Analytics may be provided by our hosting/CDN provider.

• You can control cookies through your browser settings. If you disable cookies, some site features may not work as intended.

• If your browser sends a “Do Not Track” signal, we will attempt to respect it where feasible; some third parties may not.

How we may share information

• Service providers: with vendors who help operate the site and campaign (hosting, email, forms), solely to perform services on our behalf.

• Legal and compliance: when required by law, subpoena, or to protect the rights and safety of the campaign, supporters, and the public.

• Campaign-related partners: where permitted, we may share information with consultants or partners assisting with campaign activities (e.g., compliance, communications).

• We do not sell your personal information for money.

Third-party links and platforms

• This site links to third-party services (donation pages, volunteer forms, and social media). Those services collect information under their own privacy policies.

• We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of third-party sites. Review their policies before providing information.

Data retention

We retain information for as long as necessary to operate the campaign, comply with legal obligations (including recordkeeping), resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.

Data security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect information. However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Children’s privacy

This website is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided information, contact us so we can delete it.

Your choices

• You can opt out of campaign communications by following unsubscribe instructions in messages (where provided) or contacting us.

• You can request access, correction, or deletion of certain information by contacting us. We may need to retain some information for legal/compliance reasons.

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. Updates will be posted on this page with a revised effective date.
