Privacy Policy

Effective Date: November 1, 2025

This Privacy Policy explains how the Frank Williams Committee ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, protects, and, in limited cases, shares information collected from users ("you") who access our campaign website and donation page, including via mobile devices.

We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring you have a positive experience while donating to our campaign.

 

1. Information We Collect

We only collect information necessary to process your donation and communicate with you, as permitted by law. The types of personal information we may collect include:

  • Contact Information: Your full name, mailing address, email address, and mobile phone number.

  • Donation Information: Donation amount, date, and payment details (which are processed securely by our third-party payment processor—we do not store your full credit card number).

  • Usage Data: Information about how you access and use our donation page, such as IP address, browser type, device type (e.g., mobile phone, tablet), and operating system.

 

2. Use of Your Information

We use the collected information for the following primary purposes:

  • Processing Donations: To successfully process and acknowledge your financial contribution.

  • Compliance: To meet all applicable federal, state, and local election laws and reporting requirements.

  • Communication: To send you receipts, thank-you notes, updates about the campaign, and, if you opt-in, mobile text messages.

  • Site Improvement: To monitor and analyze site usage, improve the functionality and design of our donation page, and ensure it is mobile-friendly.

 

3. Non-Sharing of Mobile Numbers (SMS/Text Policy)

We are absolutely committed to your mobile privacy.

We will not share, sell, rent, or trade the mobile phone numbers collected for text messaging (SMS) purposes with any third parties, outside of our essential service providers (like our text message platform provider) who are under contract to keep this information confidential and secure.

Your mobile number will be used solely for the purpose you consented to, which may include:

  • Sending you text messages with campaign updates.

  • Sending donation-related receipts or reminders.

  • Responding to your text message inquiries.

You can opt-out of receiving SMS messages at any time by replying "STOP" to any of our texts.

 

4. Disclosure of Other Information

We do not sell your personal information to outside parties. However, we may disclose your information in the following limited circumstances:

  • Legal Compliance: To comply with any applicable law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request, including campaign finance reporting requirements.

  • Service Providers: We may share information with trusted third-party service providers (e.g., payment processors, email vendors, hosting providers) who perform functions on our behalf. These third parties are legally or contractually bound to use your information only as necessary to provide their services to us.

  • With Your Consent: We may share your information for any other purpose disclosed to you at the time we collect the information or with your specific consent.

 

5. Security

We implement a variety of security measures, including encryption and secure protocols, to maintain the safety of your personal information. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

 

6. Links to Third-Party Sites

Our website and donation page may contain links to other websites (like social media or news sites). This Privacy Policy applies only to our donation page. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of any third-party sites, and we encourage you to read their privacy policies.

 

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Effective Date" at the top. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically.
