Privacy Policy
Overview
This Privacy Policy explains how Friends of Fiscal Responsibility collects, uses, and discloses information about you when you visit our website or interact with our digital content.
Because our website is built using the ActBlue Website Builder and integrates online fundraising tools, your interactions with donation forms are also governed by ActBlue’s Privacy Policy.
Information We Collect Directly
When you visit our website or sign up for updates, volunteer, or take action, we may collect:
- Contact Information: Your name, email address, postal address, and phone number (if you choose to provide it).
- User Communications: Messages, questions, or feedback you submit to us via contact forms or sign-up sheets.
Donation and Financial Information
- Processed by ActBlue: When you make a financial contribution through an embedded or linked donation form on our site, your payment details (such as credit card numbers and billing addresses) are provided directly to ActBlue and processed securely.
- Data We Receive: We do not collect or store full credit card numbers or banking data. ActBlue shares contribution reports with us, which include your name, address, email, contribution amount, employer, and occupation, as required by state and federal campaign finance laws.
Automatically Collected Information
Like most websites, our site and its hosting infrastructure automatically collect standard technical information when you visit:
- Device and Usage Data: Your Internet Protocol (IP) address, browser type, operating system, pages viewed, and the dates and times of your visits.
- Cookies: Small text files used to remember your preferences and understand site traffic.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Communicate with you about campaign updates, volunteer opportunities, events, and news.
- Comply with legal and campaign finance reporting obligations (such as filing reports with the Federal Election Commission or relevant state agencies).
- Respond to your inquiries and support requests.
- Improve our website performance and user experience.
Sharing and Disclosure
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal contact information to unrelated commercial third parties. We may share your information only under the following circumstances:
- Compliance & Legal Requirements: To report campaign contributions as required by law to regulatory agencies.
- Service Providers: With trusted vendors, platforms, and technical partners (including ActBlue ) who assist us in operating our digital tools and infrastructure.
- Legal Obligations: If required to do so by law, subpoena, or court order, or to protect the safety, rights, or property of our organization or supporters.
Your Choices and Opt-Out
- Email & Text Communications: You can opt out of receiving email updates or text messages from us at any time by clicking the “Unsubscribe” link at the bottom of our emails or replying “STOP” to our text messages.
- Cookies: You can adjust your browser settings to block or delete cookies, though certain site features may not function properly as a result.
Security
We take reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your personal information from unauthorized access or disclosure. However, no data transmission over the internet is 100% secure.
