d. Third-party integrations.

We may integrate with third-party services (such as analytics platforms, social media, advertising/retargeting networks). These services may collect information about your interactions (for example when you click on an ad or link) consistent with their own policies and your settings.

3. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share your personal information under the following circumstances:

With third-party service providers and vendors who perform services on our behalf (such as payment processors, email service providers, volunteer management platforms, analytics providers). These service providers are contractually bound to maintain confidentiality and safeguard personal data.
With other campaign committees, political parties or affiliated organizations, only if you have opted-in or as required by law (for example, where joint fundraising or data-sharing arrangements exist).
In connection with campaign finance disclosure or audit obligations. For example, your name, address, employer and occupation may be publicly disclosed in filings where required by federal or state election laws.
As required by law: to respond to subpoenas, court orders, or other legal processes; to protect the rights, property or safety of the Campaign, our supporters or the public.
In the event of a merger, acquisition, dissolution or other transfer of campaign assets, your information may be transferred to the successor entity subject to this Privacy Policy (or as required by law).

4. Cookies, Tracking & Advertising

We and our third-party partners may use cookies, web beacons, pixels, or similar technologies to collect usage information and serve advertisements on or off our Site. You may be able to opt-out of certain tracking and targeted advertising via your browser or device settings or by using opt-out mechanisms provided by those service providers.

If you are a California resident or subject to other data-privacy laws, you may have additional rights regarding certain tracking or sale/ sharing of personal information.

5. Data Retention

We will retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. For example, donation records may be retained for the period required by campaign finance law. Usage and analytics data may be retained for a reasonable period to allow trending and analysis.

6. Security

We take reasonable administrative, technical and physical safeguards to protect the personal information we collect against unauthorized access, loss, misuse or alteration. However, no website or internet transmission is completely secure and we cannot guarantee that unauthorized third-parties will never succeed in defeating these measures.
