Your electronic devices specifically create logs which track your usage and interaction with Digital Touchpoints. This includes but may not be limited to the version of hardware or software, time stamps, page visits, IP address or other unique identifiers which help us localize our online marketing efforts to focus our efforts or Digital Touchpoints to better meet your informational needs of our outreach.

This may include but may not be limited to your IP address, web browser, mobile network, pages views, clicks, and non-identifiable online user behavior. Data collected enables us to measure your online activity to deliver effective advertising and viral content on our Digital Touchpoints and other websites.

We harness your data to manage our Digital Touchpoints and campaign or election related operations. This includes but may not be limited to processing donations, sending updates, or producing event registration confirmation and receipts. We also use your data to recruit and stay engaged with volunteers and the electorate. We also collect state or federally mandated donor information to comply with election reporting regulations. Your data also helps us encourage you register and vote. We might carry out research related to our campaign about our advertising, content, or other operations to better target voters online, through other media and in person. We’ll explain any other election related use of your data when we ask for it.

DATA SHARING

We will collaborate in solidarity with other efforts and organizations that share our campaign’s commitment to elect Rommell as California’s next US Senator.

This will include but is not limited to sending items you purchase from our campaign, collecting donations, or sending you other material. Data shared with other organizations will be subject to that third party’s privacy policy instead of ours. Your data will help us fundraise and comply with required reporting about whomever contributes more than $200 in an election cycle to Federal Election Commission or state agencies. This required reporting typically includes names, personal addresses, occupation, employer, and primary business locations.
