How we use the information you provide:
We will potentially use this information to send you news and information
about the campaign. When you volunteer online we may ask you to give us contact
information (such as your name and e-mail address) and geographic information
(such as your zip code and state). We may ask you to tell us how you would like
to help the campaign. We may use this information to send you material about
the campaign and to help match your interests to campaign activities. If you
provide your phone number, we may call you. You may update your information
by emailing us at privacy@NateKaplan.com. The Committee to Elect Nate Kaplan may share information with
its successor organizations, if any.
Information on Children:
The Committee to Elect Nate Kaplan website does not ask children 13 or under for any information
that can be used to identify the child. We do not knowingly collect personally
identifiable information from children 13 or under.
Linking to other sites:
Our site links to a limited number of other web sites. The Committee to Elect Nate Kaplan is not
responsible for the content or the privacy policies of these web sites.
When you contribute money online:
Federal law requires us to collect and report your name, address, employer,
occupation, and the amount of your contribution. If the contribution is made
by credit card, federal law requires us to collect and report your credit card
number as well.
Federal law requires us to use our best efforts to collect and report to
the Federal Election Commission the name, mailing address, occupation and
name of employer of individuals whose contributions exceed $200 in a calendar
year. These records are available to the public. However, they cannot be used
by other organizations for fundraising. For additional information, visit
the FEC web site at
http://www.fec.gov. We also make a note of your telephone number and e-mail address, if you
choose to provide them, but you are not required to do so. Doing so helps
us because then we can use your telephone number and e-mail address to quickly
contact you if follow-up on your contribution is necessary under federal election
law.
In addition to the requirement to report contributions to the Federal Election
Commission, we may, in accordance with Federal election law, exchange our
contributor list with successor organizations, and with other like-minded
Democratic candidates and organizations. We will not sell or exchange your
credit card information to any other third party under any circumstances.
We may use information provided when you contribute online via our website
and contribute by mail to contact you for other purposes including regarding
additional contributions.
When you subscribe for updates:
We will use your email address to send you updates. You may remove your name
from our mailing lists at anytime by e-mailing us at unsubscribe@NateKaplan.com.
When you sign up for our mailing lists:
We may collect your e-mail address, state, and zip code.
We use your e-mail address to send you updates. We may use your zip
code and state to send you e-mail messages about upcoming campaign events in
your area. You may remove your e-mail address from our lists by emailing us
at unsubscribe@NateKaplan.com. We do not share our mailing lists with non-political
third parties; however, we may share your information with other like-minded
Democratic candidates and organizations.
We log IP addresses, or the location of your computer network on the Internet,
for systems administrations and troubleshooting purposes. We also may use
IP addresses in the aggregate to track which pages people visit in order to
improve the quality of the site. We do not use these data to develop profiles
of individual visitors to our web site.
How we protect your information:
Our web site has security measures in place to protect against the loss, misuse,
or alteration of the information under our control. Our server is located
in a locked, secure environment.
Credit card transaction processing on NateKaplan.com is provided by
PayPal.
PayPal uses a secure server and SSL to protect your credit card number and other
personal information during the transmission. SSL is short for Secure Sockets
Layer, a protocol developed by Netscape for secure transmission of private information
over the Internet. SSL works by using a private key to encrypt data that are
transmitted over the SSL connection. Both Netscape Navigator and Internet Explorer
browsers support SSL, and web sites use SSL when users transmit confidential
information such as credit card numbers. Web pages that require an SSL connection
start with https: instead of http. SSL uses 128 bit encryption within the United
States. For more information on SSL, please visit the VeriSign web site:
http://www.verisign.com/ssl/ssl-information-center/index.html.
