This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard information when you visit our website (the “Site”), sign up for updates, make a contribution, volunteer, or otherwise interact with us online.

Information You Provide Directly

When you sign up for email updates, newsletters, or event notifications: name, email address, and optionally phone number, mailing address, or ZIP code.
When you make a contribution: name, address, email, phone number, occupation/employer (required for certain contributions under California campaign finance laws), and payment information (processed securely by third-party payment processors—we do not store full credit card details).

Information Collected Automatically

Device and usage information: IP address, browser type, operating system, pages visited, time/date of access, and referring site (via standard web technologies like cookies, pixels, or analytics tools).
We may use cookies, web beacons, or similar technologies for site functionality, analytics, and limited targeted communications (e.g., to show relevant campaign content).

Information from Third Parties We may receive information about you from third-party services (e.g., analytics providers, social media platforms if you interact with our posts, or public voter data sources consistent with applicable law).

We do not collect sensitive personal information (such as racial/ethnic origin, religious beliefs, health data, or precise geolocation) unless you voluntarily provide it in a communication.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

Communicate with you about the campaign, including sending updates, event invitations, volunteer opportunities, and get-out-the-vote messages.
Process and acknowledge contributions (as required by California campaign finance disclosure laws).
Improve the Site and our outreach efforts (e.g., through aggregated analytics).
Respond to your inquiries, requests, or submissions.
Comply with legal obligations, including campaign finance reporting requirements under California law.
Prevent fraud, abuse, or unauthorized access.

We do not use your information for unrelated commercial purposes.

3. Sharing Your Information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share information:

With service providers and vendors who help operate the Site or campaign (e.g., email service providers like Mailchimp, payment processors like Anedot or similar, web hosting, analytics tools). These parties are contractually obligated to protect your data and use it only for the services they provide.
With volunteers, staff, or consultants working directly for the Campaign who need access to perform their duties.
As required by law, including disclosures for campaign finance reports filed with the California Fair Political Practices Commission (FPPC) or Santa Clara County.
In response to legal process, subpoenas, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of the Campaign or others.
In the event of a merger, reorganization, or similar transaction involving the Campaign (though rare for political campaigns).

Do Not Sell/Share: We do not sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.

5. Data Security
