Privacy Policy
Elect Chase LaPorte
Your privacy matters.
This Privacy Policy explains what information the campaign may collect, how it may be used, and the choices available to website visitors, supporters, donors, and volunteers.
Elect Chase LaPorte (“the Campaign,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy. By using this website, submitting a form, signing up for campaign updates, volunteering, or making a contribution through a linked donation platform, you acknowledge the practices described below.
1. Information We May Collect
We may collect information that you voluntarily provide, including:
- Name, email address, mobile phone number, mailing address, city, county, and ZIP code
- Volunteer interests, availability, event preferences, and campaign-related notes
- Questions, comments, survey responses, and other communications sent to the Campaign
- Information submitted when requesting a yard sign, attending an event, or joining campaign updates
- Donation-related information provided to a third-party contribution processor
We may also automatically collect technical information such as IP address, browser type, device type, referring page, pages visited, approximate location, and interactions with website buttons or forms.
2. How We Use Information
Information may be used to:
- Respond to questions and requests
- Coordinate volunteers, events, signs, calls, and campaign activities
- Send campaign news, election information, fundraising messages, and voter outreach
- Improve the website, campaign communications, and supporter experience
- Measure website traffic, advertising performance, and campaign engagement
- Protect the website, prevent fraud, and maintain security
- Comply with campaign-finance, election, tax, accounting, and other legal obligations
3. Email, Phone, and Text Communications
When you provide an email address or phone number and consent to campaign communications, the Campaign may contact you by email, telephone, or text message.
You may unsubscribe from email by using the unsubscribe instructions included in the message. You may opt out of text messages by replying STOP. For help, reply HELP or contact the Campaign.
Political robotexts sent using automated technology generally require prior express consent. The Campaign intends to honor reasonable requests to revoke consent.
4. Donations and Payment Information
Contributions may be processed through a third-party donation platform. The Campaign generally does not directly store complete payment-card or bank-account information.
The donation processor may collect information required to process a contribution and satisfy campaign-finance reporting requirements. Its collection and use of information is governed by its own privacy policy and terms.
Federal election law may require the Campaign to collect and publicly report certain donor information, such as a contributor’s name, mailing address, occupation, employer, contribution amount, and date, when applicable.
5. Cookies, Analytics, and Advertising
The website may use cookies, pixels, analytics tools, and similar technologies to remember preferences, measure traffic, understand site usage, prevent fraud, and evaluate campaign communications or advertising.
These tools may collect device identifiers, IP address, browser information, approximate location, page views, referral sources, and interactions with the website.
You may be able to limit cookies through your browser settings. Blocking cookies may affect certain website features.
6. When Information May Be Shared
The Campaign may share information with:
- Campaign staff, authorized volunteers, consultants, and service providers
- Email, texting, hosting, analytics, advertising, security, and form-processing providers
- Donation processors and campaign-finance compliance vendors
- Government agencies, regulators, courts, or law enforcement when legally required
- A successor campaign committee or organization, where legally permitted
The Campaign does not intend to sell personal information for unrelated commercial purposes. Information may, however, be used or shared for lawful political and campaign purposes.
7. Volunteer Forms and FormSubmit
The volunteer form may use FormSubmit or another third-party form-delivery service. Information entered into the form may pass through that service before being delivered to the Campaign at claporte84@gmail.com.
Visitors should avoid submitting Social Security numbers, financial account information, medical records, military records, or other highly sensitive information through website forms.
8. Data Retention and Security
The Campaign may retain information for as long as reasonably necessary to support campaign activities, maintain records, satisfy legal obligations, resolve disputes, and protect the Campaign.
Reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards may be used, but no website, email system, database, or internet transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
9. Children’s Privacy
This website is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13. The Campaign does not knowingly seek personal information from children under 13 through the website.
A parent or guardian who believes a child has submitted personal information may contact the Campaign to request review or deletion.
10. Links to Other Websites
This website may link to contribution processors, social networks, news outlets, event services, and other third-party websites. The Campaign is not responsible for the privacy or security practices of those independent services.
Review the privacy policy of each third-party service before providing information.
11. Your Choices and Requests
You may contact the Campaign to:
- Ask what personal information you have provided directly to the Campaign
- Request corrections to inaccurate supporter or volunteer information
- Request deletion where retention is not required by law or legitimate campaign needs
- Unsubscribe from non-required campaign communications
The Campaign may need to verify your identity before completing a request and may retain information where required for campaign-finance, legal, security, or recordkeeping purposes.
12. Changes to This Policy
This Privacy Policy may be updated as campaign practices, technology, service providers, or legal requirements change. The revised policy will be posted on this page with a new “Last Updated” date.
