Information You Provide

We may collect information you choose to provide when you contact us, subscribe to updates, volunteer, RSVP for an event, make a contribution, or submit a form. Depending on the activity, this may include your name, email address, mailing address, telephone number, communication preferences, and information included in your message or registration.

For contributions, the Campaign records donor names, addresses, and employers. Contribution transactions and related reporting records are handled as described below.

Please do not submit Social Security numbers, account passwords, medical information, or other sensitive information through general contact forms.

Information Collected Automatically

The Site and its service providers may collect technical and usage information, such as your IP address, browser and device information, pages viewed, referring pages, links clicked, and the date and time of your visit. Cookies, pixels, and similar technologies may support these activities.

Depending on the technology and how it is used, this information may identify you or be associated with information you provide. Technical information is not necessarily anonymous, even if you do not submit a form.

Cookies, Analytics, and Similar Technologies

We may use cookies and similar technologies to operate the Site, remember preferences, understand Site usage, and improve performance. If enabled, analytics tools, embedded content, and advertising technologies may also collect information about your interactions.

You can manage cookies through your browser settings. Blocking cookies may affect some Site features. Where the Site provides cookie choices, you can also use those controls. Browser cookie settings do not necessarily disable every tracking technology or stop data collection by third-party services.

How We Use Information

We may use information to:

Respond to questions and requests.
Coordinate volunteer activities and event participation.
Send updates consistent with your communication preferences and applicable requirements.
Process and maintain records of contributions.
Operate, maintain, secure, and improve the Site.
Identify misuse, prevent fraud, and troubleshoot technical issues.

How We Share Information

We may share information with service providers that assist with website hosting, forms, communications, event management, analytics, payment processing, and other Campaign operations, as needed for those services.

We may also disclose information when required by law or legal process, to comply with campaign-finance reporting requirements, or when reasonably necessary to protect rights, safety, or security.

The text messaging restrictions below apply to mobile information and messaging consent and are not overridden by general sharing language in this policy.

Email Communications

If you subscribe to email updates, we may send Campaign news, event information, and other updates described at signup. You can unsubscribe using the link in an email or by contacting us at info@michaelslaughter.com.

Submitting a general inquiry does not, by itself, constitute consent to receive text messages. Email signup forms describe the updates you are signing up to receive.

Text Messaging

If you separately opt in to receive Campaign text messages, we may use your mobile number and consent records to send the messages described at signup. We may retain signup details and message records to operate the program and document consent.

Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to unsubscribe or HELP for assistance. You may also contact info@michaelslaughter.com or call 469.922.4427. Consent to receive text messages is not a condition of making a contribution.

Mobile information will not be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. Text messaging originator opt-in data and consent will not be sold or shared with third parties for their own use. Information may be provided to service providers solely as needed to operate the Campaign's messaging program, subject to applicable requirements.

Contributions and Payment Processing

Contributions are processed through Anedot. Anedot handles payment information under its own privacy policies and terms. The Campaign records donor names, addresses, and employers; we do not store donors’ full credit card numbers or bank account details. Contribution amounts, dates, and transaction records are also maintained as needed for accounting and legally required reporting.

We collect and retain contribution information as needed to process contributions and comply with applicable Texas campaign-finance and recordkeeping requirements. Information required in campaign-finance reports may become publicly available through the appropriate filing authority. This Privacy Policy does not limit legally required disclosures.

Any applicable contribution eligibility, cancellation, or refund terms are provided through the contribution process or separate contribution terms.

Third-Party Links, Embedded Content, and Social Media

The Site may link to third-party websites or include services such as videos, social media content, registration tools, or donation platforms. Those providers may collect information under their own policies. Review their privacy policies before providing information.

Information you post publicly on social media or other public forums may be visible to others. Private messages and contact form submissions are handled under the applicable policies; they are not treated as public posts merely because you submit them.

Retention and Security

We retain information for as long as reasonably needed for the purposes described in this policy, including applicable reporting and recordkeeping obligations.

We use reasonable safeguards designed to protect information. No website, storage system, or transmission method can be guaranteed completely secure.

Your Choices and Privacy Requests

You can unsubscribe from email updates, opt out of text messages, and manage cookies as described above. To request access to, correction of, or deletion of information, or to ask about our privacy practices, contact info@michaelslaughter.com. We may need to verify your identity before responding.

We will handle requests in accordance with applicable law. Some information may need to be retained for campaign-finance, legal, or recordkeeping purposes. Depending on your location and the laws applicable to the Campaign, you may have additional privacy rights.

Children

The Site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has provided personal information through the Site, contact us so we can review and address the matter.

Visitors Outside the United States

Information may be processed in the United States or other locations where our service providers operate. Privacy laws in those locations may differ from those in your location.

We may update this policy as our practices or applicable requirements change. We will update the date above when revisions are published and provide additional notice or obtain consent where required.
