Last updated June 11, 2026
This Privacy Policy describes how the Don Wagner Ballot Measure Committee to Protect Fair Elections ("the Committee," "we," or "us") collects, uses, and protects information when you visit this website, sign up for updates, or make a contribution.
01Information We Collect
We collect information you provide directly and information that is gathered automatically when you use the site.
- Contact details you give us when you sign up or contribute, such as your first and last name, email address, ZIP code, and, if you provide it, your phone number.
- Contribution information needed to process a donation. Payments are handled by our secure third-party donation platform, and we do not store full payment card numbers on this website.
- Information required by campaign finance law, which may include your occupation and the name of your employer.
- Your communication preferences, including whether you have opted in to receive text messages.
- Technical and usage data collected automatically, such as your IP address, browser type, device information, and the pages you view, gathered through cookies and similar technologies.
02How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
- process and acknowledge your contributions,
- send you updates about the ballot measures and the Committee when you have asked to receive them,
- comply with campaign finance, tax, and other legal obligations,
- operate, maintain, and improve the website, and
- protect against fraud, abuse, and security risks.
03Public Disclosure of Contributions
Political committees in California are required by law to report information about their contributors. If you contribute, your name, city, ZIP code, occupation, employer, and the amount and date of your contribution may become part of the public record filed with the California Secretary of State and the Fair Political Practices Commission (FPPC ID# 1489891).
This reporting is required by law and is outside our control. Contributions are not tax deductible.
04Text Messages
If you opt in to text messages, you agree to receive messages from the Committee at the number you provide. Message and data rates may apply, and message frequency may vary. You can reply STOP at any time to opt out, or HELP for help. Consent to receive text messages is not a condition of making a contribution.
Text Messaging Opt-In Data: We will not share or sell your text messaging opt-in data, consent, or related personal information with any third parties, unless required by law.
07Data Retention
We keep personal information for as long as needed for the purposes described in this policy and to meet our legal and recordkeeping obligations, including those imposed by campaign finance law.
08Your Choices and Rights
You can unsubscribe from our emails using the link in any message, and you can reply STOP to stop receiving text messages. You may also ask us to access, correct, or delete your personal information, subject to the records we are required by law to keep. Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights under applicable privacy law. To make a request, contact us using the details below.
09Children's Privacy
This website is intended for adults and is not directed to children under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can remove it.
10Data Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect the information we hold. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
11Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the date shown at the top of this page, and material changes will be posted here.
