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 a name, address, telephone number, credit card information, bank account information, email 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, volunteer, or make an online contribution. For example, when making a contribution, in addition to providing us your name, address, and occupation, you will need to provide 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 under Maryland campaign finance laws.

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 through the use of "cookies." 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. We restrict access to personal information about you to those 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.

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. We store the personal information we collect from you behind a secure firewall and place transaction sites on secure servers.

Disclosure of Personal Information

Information about our supporters and website visitors is one 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 required to disclose information regarding our contributions to comply with Maryland campaign finance laws. Maryland State law requires us to use our best efforts to collect and report the name, mailing address, occupation, and employer of individuals whose contributions aggregate in excess of certain thresholds.

To Carry Out Your Requests

We may be required to disclose personal information in order 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 email 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 supporters from fraudulent, abusive, or unlawful conduct, or if we reasonably believe that an emergency involving immediate danger of death or serious physical injury to any person requires disclosure of communications or justifies disclosure of records without delay.

To Support Democratic Candidates and Organizations

We may disclose selected personal information (other than credit card information, bank information, or mobile phone numbers) to other Democratic campaigns and organizations that we believe are like-minded or that we believe you may wish to hear from. Text messaging originator opt-in data will not be shared with any third party except as required by law or to carry out campaign operations.

We may automatically collect information using "cookies." Cookies are small data files stored on your hard drive by a website. Among other things, cookies help us improve our site and your experience, count visits to our site, and tailor your experience according to which areas you have visited and the preferences you have specified. Most web browsers are set to accept cookies by default. If you prefer, you can usually choose to set your browser to remove or reject cookies, though this could affect certain features or services of our site.

Web Beacons

We may collect information using web beacons. Web beacons are electronic images that may be used on our sites or in our emails. We use web beacons to deliver cookies, count visits, understand usage and campaign effectiveness, and to tell if an email has been opened and acted upon.

Third Party Services

We may use third-party services to help us understand site usage and campaign effectiveness. These third parties may automatically collect information about your visits to our site and other websites, your IP address, your ISP, and the browser you use to visit our site. They do this using cookies or other technologies. This policy does not apply to, and we are not responsible for, cookies or tracking technologies used by third parties.

Children's Online Privacy Protection Act

We do not knowingly, directly or passively, collect information from children under the age of 13. To respect the privacy of children, we do not knowingly collect or maintain personally identifiable information from children under the age of 13.
