Privacy Policy
Effective September 18, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how the Committee to Elect Kevin Hanley Pacific Grove City Council D1 2026 (the “Campaign,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, and shares information obtained through this website and through campaign communications.
Information We Collect
We may collect information you voluntarily provide, including:
- Your name, email address, phone number, and mailing address.
- Your volunteer interests, endorsements, and other messages.
- Your consent to receive campaign text messages.
- Information provided through a donation processor. Payment-card information is handled by the processor and is not collected directly by this website.
We may also receive limited technical information ordinarily provided by a browser or hosting service, such as an IP address, browser type, referring page, and date and time of access.
How We Use Information
We may use the information we collect to:
- Respond to questions and volunteer requests.
- Provide campaign, event, volunteer, and donation information.
- Send text messages when a person has provided consent.
- Operate, protect, and improve the website and campaign programs.
- Comply with applicable laws and campaign-finance obligations.
Text Messaging and Consent
Providing a phone number does not by itself constitute consent to receive text messages. If you separately check the text-message consent box, messages may include campaign updates, event information, volunteer opportunities, and requests for donation. Message frequency may vary. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to opt out and HELP for help. Consent is not a condition of making a donation or receiving campaign information through another channel.
Required Text-Messaging Privacy Disclosure
We will not share text messaging originator opt-in data and consent, provided that the foregoing does not apply to sharing (1) with vendors, consultants and other service providers who need access to such information to carry out work on our behalf (and who will not use such information for their own purposes); (2) if we believe disclosure is required by any applicable law, rule, or regulation or to comply with law enforcement or legal process; and (3) if the user consents to our sharing of such information.
Other Sharing of Information
We may share information with service providers that support campaign operations, such as website hosting, email delivery, text messaging, volunteer management, and donation processing. We may also disclose information when required by law, to protect legal rights or safety, or with your direction or consent. We do not sell personal information.
Data Security and Retention
We use reasonable administrative and technical measures intended to protect information. No online system is completely secure. We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary for campaign purposes, recordkeeping, dispute resolution, and legal compliance.
Your Choices
You may opt out of campaign text messages at any time by replying STOP. You may ask to stop receiving campaign emails by replying to the email or contacting us. To request access to, correction of, or deletion of information you provided through this website, contact us using the information below. We will consider requests consistent with applicable law and campaign-recordkeeping requirements.
External Services
This website may link to services operated by other organizations, including a donation processor. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies, not this Privacy Policy.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy as campaign practices or legal requirements change. The effective date above identifies the current version.
