1. Scope
This Privacy Policy applies to zachmcclanahanforsenate.com and campaign forms, tools, and services linked from this website. Third-party services such as Anedot, WinRed, podcast platforms, and social networks maintain their own privacy policies.
2. Information We Collect
We may collect information you voluntarily provide, including your name, email address, telephone number, mailing address, city, ZIP code, message, policy question, volunteer interests, event information, and communication preferences.
Our hosting and security providers may automatically process technical information such as IP address, browser type, device type, referring page, pages visited, approximate location, timestamps, security signals, and cookie or similar identifiers.
3. How We Use Information
- Respond to questions and requests.
- Coordinate volunteers, events, outreach, and campaign activities.
- Send campaign updates when you have requested or consented to them.
- Publish a voter question and campaign answer only when the submission is approved for public display.
- Maintain website security, prevent abuse, and diagnose technical problems.
- Comply with applicable election, campaign-finance, recordkeeping, and legal obligations.
4. Donations and Merchandise
Donations and merchandise transactions are processed by third-party providers. The campaign does not receive or store your complete payment-card number through this website. Those providers may send the campaign transaction, contact, compliance, or fulfillment information permitted by their services and applicable law.
5. When Information May Be Shared
We may share information with authorized campaign staff, contractors, service providers, technology vendors, professional advisers, and government authorities when reasonably necessary to operate the campaign or comply with law. We do not sell personal information as a commercial data broker.
6. Public Questions
If you submit a question for possible public response, the campaign may publish the question with the display option you select. We may edit submissions for length, clarity, privacy, or civility without changing their essential meaning. Contact information will not be intentionally published with the question.
7. Cookies, Analytics, and Security
The website may use cookies or similar technologies required for security, preferences, analytics, form protection, and administrator authentication. Cloudflare may process traffic and security information to deliver and protect the site.
8. Data Retention and Security
Information is retained for as long as reasonably necessary for campaign operations, legal compliance, dispute resolution, security, and recordkeeping. We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards, but no online system can guarantee absolute security.
9. Your Choices
You may decline to submit optional information. You may use the unsubscribe instructions in campaign email or contact us to request an update to your communication preferences. Certain records may need to be retained when required by law.
10. Children
This website is intended for a general audience and is not designed to knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
11. Changes
We may update this policy as the website and campaign services change. The effective date at the top of this page will identify the current version.
