Information We Collect

We collect a variety of personal information from individuals who register on the site, make contributions through the site, sign up for updates, contact the campaign, or use other features or functions available through the site. Personal information is information that can be directly associated with a specific person or entity, such as a name, address, telephone number, email address, credit card information, bank account information, occupation, employer, or information about activities directly linked to that person.

We collect information you provide when you register on the site, contact us, sign up for updates, or make an online contribution. For example, when making a contribution, in addition to your name, address, occupation, and employer, you may also be asked to provide billing information, credit card or bank account information, and answer certain questions necessary to ensure we may legally accept your contribution.

You may make changes to the information you have provided by revisiting forms on the site, where applicable, or by contacting us at [campaign email] with questions or requests regarding your information.

Automatically Collected Information

We automatically receive certain types of information whenever you interact with us online. For example, when you visit the site, our systems may automatically collect your IP address, browser type, device information, referring website, and clickstream data. Information may also be collected through the use of cookies and similar technologies, as described below.

How We Use Your Information

We may use your information to send you campaign updates by email or text message, respond to questions or requests you submit, process donations and maintain records related to contributions, improve the functionality, security, and effectiveness of the website, and comply with legal and campaign finance obligations.

Unless you ask us not to, we may also contact you in the future by email or text to share campaign news, event information, updates, or changes to this Privacy Policy.

Network and Information Security

Dawn Rasmussen for Congress uses industry-standard security measures, software, and encryption technologies to help protect against unauthorized access to campaign servers, systems, and other online infrastructure. This includes using secure systems to protect payment processing information.

Access to personal information is limited to staff, contractors, or service providers who need that information to perform campaign-related work. Information submitted through the site may also be protected using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) or similar encryption technology.

Please keep in mind that we do not control the security of other websites you may visit, interact with, or use for transactions. Personal information collected through our site may be stored behind a secure firewall and, where appropriate, on secure servers.

Disclosure of Personal Information

Information about supporters, donors, and website visitors is important to us. We may make personal information available to others only for limited purposes.

To comply with campaign finance laws. We may be required by law to collect and report certain information regarding contributions. For example, federal law may require us to use our best efforts to collect and report the name, mailing address, occupation, and employer of individuals whose contributions exceed certain thresholds during a calendar year.

To carry out your requests. We may disclose personal information when necessary to complete a donation transaction, process a request you submitted, or provide a service you asked for.

To protect you and ourselves. We may release personal information when we believe disclosure is appropriate to comply with the law, enforce our rights, protect campaign property, or protect supporters and others from fraudulent, abusive, or unlawful conduct. We may also disclose information if we reasonably believe that doing so is necessary in an emergency involving immediate danger of death or serious physical injury.

To support like-minded candidates, committees, or organizations. We may disclose selected personal information, excluding credit card and bank account information, to other campaigns, political committees, or organizations we believe are aligned with our mission or that may be of interest to you.

Text messaging opt-in data and consent will not be shared with third parties.
