Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how the Donna Vidrine for San Clemente City Council District 1 campaign ("Campaign," "we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, discloses, and protects information obtained through this website.

Information We Collect

Information You Provide

When you submit a volunteer, contact, or other form through this website, we may collect information you voluntarily provide, including:

  • First and last name
  • Email address
  • Phone number
  • ZIP code
  • Volunteer interests or preferences
  • Messages or other information you choose to provide

You are not required to provide personal information simply to browse this website.

Information Collected Automatically

Our website is hosted using Netlify. Like most website hosting providers, Netlify may automatically process certain technical information when you access the site, such as your IP address, browser or device information, request information, and related technical data.

This information may be processed for purposes such as operating and securing the website, preventing spam or abuse, and maintaining website performance.

How We Use Your Information

Information collected through this website may be used for campaign-related purposes, including:

  • Responding to questions, inquiries, and volunteer submissions
  • Coordinating campaign volunteers, activities, and events
  • Communicating with you about campaign activities or opportunities
  • Sending campaign updates when you have chosen to receive them
  • Maintaining the security and operation of the website
  • Complying with applicable legal or regulatory requirements

We will not use information submitted through the website for purposes unrelated to the Campaign without appropriate notice or consent.

Email and Text Communications

If you choose to provide your email address or phone number and request campaign communications, we may use that information to contact you regarding campaign news, events, volunteer opportunities, or other campaign-related matters.

You may request to stop receiving campaign communications at any time by following any opt-out instructions provided in the communication or by contacting us directly.

Providing your contact information through a general inquiry or volunteer form does not automatically require you to receive promotional email or text-message updates unless you have indicated that you wish to receive them.

Information Sharing

We do not sell, rent, or trade personal information collected through this website.

We may provide information to individuals or service providers who assist with legitimate campaign operations, such as:

  • Authorized campaign staff and volunteers
  • Website hosting and form-processing providers
  • Technology or communications providers used by the Campaign

These parties may receive information only as reasonably necessary to provide services or carry out campaign activities.

We may also disclose information when required by law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request, or when reasonably necessary to protect the security, rights, or property of the Campaign or others.

Website Hosting and Form Processing

This website is hosted by Netlify, and website form submissions are processed using Netlify Forms.

Information submitted through website forms may therefore be transmitted to and stored using Netlify's systems.

Netlify maintains its own privacy, security, and data-processing practices that govern its services.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

The Campaign does not use third-party advertising trackers to monitor visitors across unrelated websites for advertising purposes.

Our hosting provider and other technologies necessary to operate and secure the website may use technical mechanisms or process limited information required for website functionality, security, fraud prevention, or network operation.

If analytics, advertising pixels, or other tracking technologies are added to the website in the future, this Privacy Policy will be updated as appropriate.

Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to carry out campaign activities, respond to requests, maintain appropriate records, comply with legal obligations, or resolve disputes.

Form submissions and other information that are no longer reasonably needed may be deleted from campaign systems and service-provider platforms.

Data Security

We take reasonable administrative and technical precautions intended to protect personal information submitted through this website.

However, no website, electronic transmission, or method of data storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Accordingly, we cannot guarantee the absolute security of information transmitted through or stored in connection with this website.

Your Choices

You may contact the Campaign to:

  • Ask what personal information you have submitted through the website
  • Request that inaccurate information be corrected
  • Request deletion of information you previously submitted
  • Ask to stop receiving campaign communications

We will make reasonable efforts to honor these requests, subject to any information we may be required or permitted to retain for legal, security, recordkeeping, or other legitimate purposes.

Third-Party Websites and Services

This website may contain links to third-party websites or services, including donation platforms, social-media platforms, government resources, or other external websites.

The Campaign does not control the privacy practices of those third parties. Information you provide directly to an external website or service is governed by that provider's own privacy policy and practices.

We encourage you to review the privacy policies of third-party services before providing personal information to them.

Children's Privacy

This website is intended for a general audience and is not directed specifically to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 through this website.

If we become aware that personal information from a child under 13 has been submitted through the website, we will take reasonable steps to remove it.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to the website, campaign operations, technology, or applicable requirements.

When changes are made, the "Last updated" date at the top of this page will be revised.
