About this policy
This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use and share information when you visit this site or sign up to hear from the campaign. By using the site, you accept the practices described here. We may update this policy from time to time; changes take effect when they are posted on this page and apply going forward. This policy covers this site only. Websites we link to are not covered and have their own privacy policies.
Information we collect
Information you give us
When you sign up for updates, volunteer, contribute or otherwise contact us, we collect the information you choose to provide, such as your name, email address, mailing address or ZIP code, phone number and how you would like to get involved. We use it to fulfill your request and, where you have agreed, to keep you informed about the campaign.
Contributions are handled by a third-party payment processor. We receive the contributor information that campaign finance law requires, but we do not store payment card numbers on this site.
Information collected automatically
When you visit, we and our service providers may automatically collect information such as your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring page and the pages you view. On its own this information does not identify you, and we generally use it in aggregate to understand how the site is used. It may be linked to personal information you have previously given us.
Cookies and similar technologies
We use cookies, pixels and similar technologies to operate the site, measure traffic and understand how visitors use it. Aggregate, non-identifying information about site use may be shared with our service providers. You can set your browser to refuse or delete cookies; some parts of the site may not work as intended if you do.
Advertising
We work with third-party advertising partners that may use cookies and similar technologies to collect information about your visits to this and other websites. They use it to show you campaign ads, including on other sites and platforms, based on your interests or on lists of people who have engaged with the campaign, and to measure how those ads perform. These partners’ practices are governed by their own privacy policies, not this one. You can learn about opting out of interest-based advertising from many companies through the Network Advertising Initiative and the Digital Advertising Alliance.
How we use information
- To respond to your requests and process sign-ups, volunteer offers and contributions.
- To send you campaign news, event invitations, volunteer opportunities, donation requests and voting reminders by email, phone or text message. We send text messages only if you have opted in.
- To meet campaign finance reporting and other legal requirements.
- To operate, secure and improve the site.
- To show and measure campaign advertising.
- For any other purpose we describe when you provide the information.
Text messages
If you opt in to text messages, we will use your mobile number to send periodic campaign updates through automated text messages and calls from Jason for Madison. You can expect no more than 1 message per day. Messages may include donation asks. Message and data rates may apply. Text HELP for help or STOP to opt out at any time. See our Terms of Service for details.
Mobile numbers and text-messaging opt-in data and consent are not sold, rented or shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing purposes. We share this information only with the service providers that operate our messaging program, and they may not use it for any other purpose.
How we share information
We do not sell your personal information. We may share it:
- With vendors and service providers that work on our behalf, such as email, texting, hosting, payment processing and data management providers, who are required to keep it confidential.
- With election and campaign finance authorities, as required by law.
- When required or permitted by law, or to prevent or investigate fraud or protect the rights and safety of others.
Data security
We take reasonable measures to protect the information we collect. Access is limited to campaign staff, volunteers, agents and contractors who need it and who are bound by confidentiality. No method of transmitting or storing information online is completely secure. Every campaign email includes a link to unsubscribe, and you can opt out of text messages at any time by replying STOP.
