The Committee to Recall Victoria Bishop respects your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect through www.recallvbishop.org, how we use it, and the choices available to you.
 
1. Information we collect
 
Depending on how you interact with the committee, we may collect:

• Your name.

• Email address.

• Mobile or other telephone number.

• Mailing address, township or community.

• Volunteer interests, availability, and selected shifts.

• Petition-circulator training status.

• Event registrations and communications with the committee.

• Contribution information required for payment processing or campaign-finance reporting.

• Information you voluntarily include in a message or form.

• Technical information such as browser type, device information, IP address, website activity and cookies.

• SMS consent records, including the date, time, source, and language associated with your opt-in or opt-out.

We do not knowingly collect more information than reasonably needed for campaign operations and legal compliance.

2. How we use information

We may use personal information to:

• Respond to questions and requests.

• Register and coordinate volunteers.

• Confirm volunteer identities and scheduled shifts.

• Provide circulator training and campaign materials.

• Send updates on events, schedules, weather, and locations.

• Send campaign emails or text messages when you have consented.

• Process contributions and satisfy campaign-finance obligations.

• Maintain accurate opt-in and opt-out records.

• Operate, protect and improve the website.

• Prevent fraud, disruption or misuse.

• Comply with legal requirements.

3. SMS and mobile-information privacy

If you affirmatively consent to receive text messages, we will use your mobile number to provide volunteer, training, scheduling, event and campaign updates described at the time of enrollment.
Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to opt out or HELP for assistance.
 
We do not sell, rent, or share your mobile phone number or SMS opt-in information with third parties or affiliates for their marketing or promotional purposes.
 
All the above categories exclude text messaging originator opt-in data and consent; this information won’t be shared with any third parties.
 
We may use service providers and wireless carriers solely as necessary to deliver and administer messages, maintain consent records, provide customer support, prevent abuse or comply with law. Those providers are not authorized to use your SMS-consent information for their own marketing.
 
SMS consent applies only to the Committee to Recall Victoria Bishop program for which you enrolled. It is not transferable to another candidate, committee, organization or campaign.
 
4. When information may be disclosed
 
We may disclose information:

• To service providers performing work for the committee, such as website hosting, email delivery, volunteer scheduling, data storage, messaging, analytics, or payment processing.

• To committee members and authorized volunteers who need the information to perform campaign responsibilities.

• When required by a subpoena, court order, campaign-finance law or other legal obligation.

• When reasonably necessary to protect the safety, rights, or security of the committee, its volunteers, or others.

• In connection with an organizational transition permitted by law, subject to the protections in this policy.

We do not sell personal information.

Mobile numbers and SMS-consent records are excluded from disclosures for third-party marketing or promotional purposes.

5. Contributions and public reporting

Campaign-finance laws may require the committee to collect and publicly report certain donor information, including a contributor’s name, address, contribution amount or other legally required details.
 
Payment-card information is generally processed by a third-party payment provider. The committee does not intend to store complete payment-card numbers on its website.

6. Cookies and website information
 
Our website provider and other service providers may use cookies or similar technology to operate the site, remember preferences, measure traffic and protect against fraud.
 
You may adjust browser settings to limit cookies. Disabling certain cookies may affect website functionality.
 
7. Third-party services
 
The website may link to or use third-party platforms for volunteer scheduling, group communication, social media, maps, donations, or other campaign functions.
 
Information you provide directly to another platform is also governed by that platform’s privacy policy. Review its policies before submitting information.
 
8. Data retention
 
We retain information as long as reasonably necessary to run the campaign, coordinate volunteers, meet legal obligations, maintain financial records, and resolve disputes.
 
We may retain limited opt-out information after a deletion request so that we can continue honoring your request not to receive messages.
 
9. Data security
 
We use reasonable administrative and technical measures to protect personal information. However, no website, email system, mobile network, or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
 
Please avoid sending sensitive personal or financial information through ordinary email or text messages.
 
10. Your choices
 
You may:

• Decline to enroll in text messages.

• Use an email unsubscribe link when one is provided.

• Request correction of inaccurate information.

• Request access to or deletion of personal information, subject to legal recordkeeping requirements.

• Adjust browser cookie settings.

• Leave a third-party group or scheduling platform.
