Privacy Policy
The Committee to Elect Nicole Massiah
The Committee to Elect Nicole Massiah cares about your privacy rights, and about providing you with the information you need to protect them. Accordingly, we’ve created this policy to explain our privacy practices. This applies to Nicolefordistrict3.com only.
We may revise and update this policy if our practices change, if we add new features to the site, or if we change existing ones that affect these practices. We may also modify this policy if we find better ways to inform you of products or services that we think will be of interest. You should refer to this page often for the latest information.
Information Collected About You
We collect a variety of Personal Information about those who register on our site, make contributions through our site or use other functions or features on the site. “Personal Information” is information that can be directly associated with a specific person or entity such as (but not limited to) a name, address, telephone number, credit card information, bank account information, e-mail address, or information about activities that are directly linked to that person.
We collect information you give us when you register on our site, contact us, or make an online contribution. For example, when making a contribution, in addition to providing us your name, address, occupation and name of employer, you will need to provide us a billing address and credit card or bank account information and answer a series of brief questions to make sure we may legally accept your contribution. When registering on the site, you may be asked for demographic information.
Automatically Collected Information
We automatically receive certain types of information whenever you interact with us online. For example, when you visit our site, our systems automatically collect your IP address and the type of browser you use. Information may be automatically collected by using “cookies” (more information below). We also collect “clickstream” data about your use of the site.
Network And Information Security
We employ a variety of physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to guard your Personal Information. For example, we use commercially reasonable tools and techniques to protect against unauthorized access to our systems. Also, we restrict access to Personal Information about you to those employees who need to know that information to provide services to you. In addition, we work to protect the security of your Personal Information by using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software, which encrypts information you input and allows you to view your information in a secure manner.
You should be aware that we have no control over the security of other sites on the Internet you might visit, interact with, or from which you buy products or services. Further, we store the Personal Information we collect from you behind a secure firewall and place the transaction site on a secure server.
Disclosure Of Personal Information
Information about our registered users, donors and web site visitors are some of our most important assets, and therefore we keep it confidential. Personal information is made available to others for the following, limited purposes:
- To Comply with Campaign Finance Laws: We are often required to disclose information regarding our contributions to comply with campaign finance laws. For example, Georgia law requires us to use our best efforts to collect and report the name, mailing address, occupation and name of employer of individuals whose contributions aggregate in excess of a set threshold in an election cycle.
- To Carry Out Your Requests: We also may be required to disclose personal information to carry out your requests when you use the site. For example, we will share personal information with third parties as necessary to complete a donation transaction or to deliver an e-mail to someone you have identified.
- To Protect You and Ourselves: We release personal information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law (e.g., a lawful subpoena), to protect our rights or property, or to protect our donors and supporters from fraudulent, abusive, or unlawful conduct.
We may disclose selected personal information (other than credit card, bank info, or text messaging data) to allied political campaigns or organizations for their use in campaign activities and special projects. We require that the information be used only for that specific purpose.
