This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard information obtained through this website and other online interactions with the campaign.

When you interact with our website, we may collect personal information that you voluntarily provide to us. This may include your name, email address, mailing address, phone number, and any other information you submit through forms on the site, such as when signing up for campaign updates, volunteering, responding to surveys, making a donation, or registering for an event. If you make a contribution to the campaign, we may also collect information required by law for campaign finance reporting purposes, including your occupation and employer.

In addition to information you provide directly, certain technical information may be collected automatically when you visit the website. This may include your IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited, and the date and time of your visit. This information helps us better understand how visitors use our website and allows us to improve its functionality and effectiveness.

The information we collect is used to support the activities of the campaign. This may include processing contributions, communicating with supporters, sending campaign updates or newsletters, responding to inquiries, organizing events or volunteer opportunities, and improving the performance of our website and outreach efforts. We may also use information as necessary to comply with legal obligations, including campaign finance disclosure requirements.

California law requires political committees to collect and report certain information from campaign contributors. If you make a contribution to the Committee, information such as your name, address, occupation, employer, and contribution amount may be included in public reports filed with government agencies as required by law.

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. However, we may share information with trusted service providers that assist the campaign in operating the website or conducting campaign activities. These providers may include website hosting services, payment processors, email communication platforms, and compliance or reporting services. These service providers are only permitted to use the information as necessary to perform services on behalf of the campaign.

Our website may use cookies or similar technologies to improve site functionality and analyze how visitors interact with the site. Cookies are small files stored on your device that allow websites to recognize returning users and enhance the browsing experience. You may adjust your browser settings to refuse cookies if you prefer, although doing so may affect some features of the website.

We take reasonable steps to protect the personal information you provide from unauthorized access, misuse, or disclosure. While we strive to maintain appropriate safeguards, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

From time to time, our website may include links to external websites or third-party services. These sites operate independently from the campaign, and we are not responsible for their content or privacy practices. We encourage users to review the privacy policies of any external websites they visit.
