Privacy Policy

The San Diego County Democratic Party is committed to protecting your privacy online.

We may periodically ask you to provide information such as your name, address, phone number and email address in an effort to enhance our ability to work with you. If you should choose to give us your personal information, you decide the amount of information you provide. If you choose not to give us any information, we may not be able to provide you with timely information regarding events and issues important to you as a politically interested and active citizen.

Our principal website, www.sddemocrats.org, is permanent. The San Diego County Democratic Party may also host other websites that are created and removed as needed to highlight important issues and activities. Our websites are identified by the text "Paid for by the San Diego County Democratic Party".

Our site links to a limited number of other websites. The San Diego County Democratic Party is not responsible for the content or the privacy policies of these websites.

How do we protect your information?

Our website has security measures in place to protect against the loss, misuse, or alteration of the information under our control. The San Diego County Democratic Party uses state-of-the-art security protocols to protect sensitive data, such as personal information and credit card numbers.

When you volunteer online:

Our volunteer forms ask you to give us contact information (such as your name and email address) and geographic information (such as your ZIP Code). We use this information to send you customized content and to help match your interests to campaign activities. If you provide your phone number, we may call you.

When you contribute money online:

We are required by federal law to collect and report to the Federal Election Commission the name, mailing address, occupation and name of employers of individuals whose contributions exceed $200 in a calendar year. These records are available to the public. However, they cannot be used by other organizations for fundraising. For additional information, visit the FEC website at www.fec.gov. We also make a note of your telephone number and email address, which helps us to contact you quickly if follow-up on your contribution is necessary under Federal election law.

When you sign up for our mailing list:

We collect your name, email address, and ZIP Code. We use your email address to send you our Blue View email newsletter and periodic messages about specific events. You may remove your email address from the subscriber list by visiting the unsubscribe page for that list. We will not give, sell or rent your information to any other organization.

IP addresses and log file data:

We log IP address, which is the location of your computer or network on the Internet, for systems administration and troubleshooting purposes. We also use page hits in the aggregate to track the popularity of pages that people visit in order to improve the quality of the site. There is no personal identifiable information collected in our log files.

Information on children:

Because we care about the safety and privacy of children online, we comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 (COPPA). COPPA and its accompanying FTC regulations establish United States federal law that protects the privacy of children using the Internet. We do not knowingly contact or collect personal information from children under 13. Our site is not intended to solicit information of any kind from children under 13, and we have designed our sites to block our knowing acceptance of information from children under 13 whenever age-related information is requested.
