Privacy Policy
This privacy policy explains how VoterLift PAC ("VoterLift PAC", "we", "us", "our") collects, uses, and shares personal information ("Personal Information") which we collect through our website located at https://voterlift.org and our text messaging program (collectively, the "Platform").
We take our privacy obligations seriously, and use the Personal Information provided to us only as specified in this privacy policy. Read this privacy policy carefully so that you can make an informed decision about using the Platform. If you do not agree to this privacy policy, do not use the Platform. By submitting a form on our website, opting in to receive text messages from us, or otherwise using the Platform, you agree to this privacy policy and consent to our collection, use, and disclosure of your Personal Information as described in this privacy policy.
1. What information does this privacy policy cover?
This privacy policy covers the Personal Information that is collected on or through the Platform, and from which an individual may be personally identified. Personal Information includes, without limitation, an individual's name, email address, street address, telephone number, and other such information provided by the individual.
Information you provide
We collect Personal Information when you submit a form on our website, opt in to receive text messages from us, reply to a text message we send, or otherwise contact us. This may include your name, email address, telephone number, and the content of your messages to us.
Information others share about you
We may receive Personal Information about you from campaigns and organizations that have opted in to contribute contact and message-thread data to VoterLift PAC. If you have exchanged text messages with a participating campaign or organization, your information may have been shared with us by that campaign or organization. We treat all such Personal Information in accordance with this privacy policy.
Information you disclose through text messages
When you reply to a text message from us, we receive the content of that reply. We may use the content of your messages to update the information we hold about you, as described in Section 4.
2. Collection of non-personal information
Our website uses "cookies" and similar technologies to store session information and gather analytics. A cookie is a small amount of data, which often includes an anonymous unique identifier, that is sent to your browser from a website's computers and stored on your device. You can remove or reject cookies by following the directions in your browser's "help" directory. If you reject cookies, you may still use the website, but some features may not function as intended.
As is true of most websites, we gather certain information automatically and store it in log files. This information includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp, and clickstream data. We use this information to analyze trends, administer the website, and understand how visitors use the website as a whole.
3. Children's Personal Information
We do not knowingly collect, use, maintain, or disclose Personal Information of children younger than 16 years of age ("children"). If we learn we have collected Personal Information about a child, we will delete that Personal Information without delay. If you believe we have collected Personal Information about a child, contact us by email at info@voterlift.org, or write to us at the address in Section 11.
4. How we use your information
We use information collected through the Platform to operate our text messaging program, respond to your requests, and provide you with information we believe you would be interested in receiving.
In addition, we use Personal Information to analyze contact information accuracy, persuadability, sentiment, party affinity, hostility, and related data points; to apply tags to contacts reflecting those data points; to improve, expand, and promote the Platform; to provide support and notifications; to detect, prevent, mitigate, and investigate fraudulent or illegal activities; and to comply with applicable law.
5. With whom do we share your Personal Information?
We may share non-Personal Information, such as aggregate statistics, demographic information, and usage information, with third parties. We may also share your information as disclosed at the time you provide your information, as set forth in this privacy policy, and in the following circumstances.
Participating campaigns and organizations
Campaigns and organizations that participate in the VoterLift PAC program may receive tags and data points derived from our analysis for contacts already in their own records. We do not provide participating campaigns or organizations with the telephone numbers or text messaging opt-in data of contacts they did not already hold.
Third parties providing services on our behalf
We may from time to time engage third parties to perform functions on our behalf; examples include hosting our website, sending email communications, sending text messages, and data analysis. We only provide the information necessary for those service providers to perform the services, subject to their agreement to treat such information in accordance with this privacy policy.
Organizational transfers
If VoterLift PAC merges with, or transfers its operations to, another committee or organization, your Personal Information may be transferred as part of that transaction.
Legal protections and law enforcement
We may transfer and disclose information, including your Personal Information, usage information, and device identifier (including IP address), to third parties to comply with a legal obligation; when we believe in good faith that the law requires it; at the request of governmental authorities conducting an investigation; to verify or enforce our policies; to respond to an emergency; or otherwise to protect the rights, property, safety, or security of third parties, visitors to the Platform, or the public. Such disclosures may be carried out without notice to you.
No mobile information will be shared by us with third parties/affiliates for marketing/promotional purposes. All the above categories exclude text messaging originator opt-in data and consent; this information will not be shared with any third parties.
6. Accessing or updating your information and opting out
You have the right to access your Personal Information held by us and, if necessary, have it amended or deleted. To stop receiving text messages from us, reply STOP to any message you receive from us. To stop receiving email communications or other marketing information, or to make any other request, contact us by email at info@voterlift.org, or write to us at the address in Section 11.
7. Security
We incorporate commercially reasonable technical, organizational, and administrative safeguards to help protect and secure your Personal Information. However, no electronic data transmission or storage of information can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. We cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us, and your use of the Platform is at your own risk.
8. Notification of changes and your acceptance of this privacy policy
We reserve the right to change, modify, or add to this privacy policy at any time, and to apply any such change, modification, or addition to Personal Information that we have already collected. We may provide you with notice of a change by posting a notice or a revised privacy policy on the Platform. Review this page from time to time for the current policy. In the event we make a material change to how we use or disclose Personal Information, we will provide you with notice and an opportunity to opt out of such new or different use or disclosure.
9. Retention and deletion of Personal Information
We retain your Personal Information for as long as necessary to operate the Platform and to comply with applicable legal, regulatory, and campaign finance recordkeeping requirements. You may request deletion of your Personal Information by contacting us. Messages you send to us may be retained by us, and we may need to retain certain information for our business records or as required by law.
