Welcome to the official campaign website of Zachariah Wade for Judge (the “Campaign,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). We are deeply committed to protecting your privacy and handling your personal information with transparency, integrity, and care. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, store, disclose, and protect information submitted through this website, including endorsement submissions.
By accessing or using this website and/or submitting any information through it, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use this website or submit any information.
We collect only the personal information that you voluntarily provide to us when submitting an endorsement through this website. We do not employ tracking technologies beyond what is strictly necessary for basic website functionality.
When you submit an endorsement of Zachariah Wade for Judge, we may collect the following categories of personal information:
Like most websites, our web server may automatically collect limited, non-personally-identifiable technical data, including:
This technical data is used solely for website security, fraud prevention, and aggregate analytics. It is not linked to your personal identity and is not used for marketing, advertising, or behavioral profiling of any kind.
The Campaign uses the personal information you provide exclusively for the following limited purposes:
We do not use your personal information for commercial marketing, solicitation, fundraising, or any purpose unrelated to the endorsement you have submitted. Your information will never be sold, rented, leased, or traded to any third party for any purpose whatsoever.
Your endorsement will NOT be displayed publicly on this website or in any Campaign materials without your prior, explicit, affirmative consent. Consent is obtained at the time of submission through a clearly labeled consent checkbox or signature. Specifically:
The Campaign does not sell, rent, trade, or otherwise disclose your personal information to third parties, except in the following limited circumstances:
We may share your information with trusted third-party vendors who assist with website hosting, data storage, or email delivery services. These vendors are contractually prohibited from using your information for any purpose other than providing services to the Campaign and are required to maintain the confidentiality and security of your data.
We may disclose your information if required to do so by law, court order, or valid legal process, including compliance with state and/or federal campaign finance disclosure requirements. Where such disclosure is required, we will disclose only the minimum information necessary to satisfy the legal obligation.
We may disclose information where we have a good-faith belief that doing so is necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of the Campaign, a third party, or the public, or to detect, prevent, or address fraud or security vulnerabilities.
Under no circumstances does the Campaign sell, license, or commercially exploit your personal information. This prohibition applies regardless of compensation, format, or medium.
We retain your personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, or as required by applicable law, including campaign finance record-keeping obligations.
Endorsement data will be retained for the duration of the campaign cycle and for a minimum period thereafter as required by applicable election law. Upon the expiration of any applicable retention requirement, we will securely delete or anonymize your data in a manner consistent with industry-standard data destruction practices.
You may request deletion of your personal information at any time, subject to any applicable legal retention requirements. See Section 7 and Section 8 for rights specific to California residents and EU/EEA data subjects, respectively.
The Campaign implements reasonable and appropriate technical, administrative, and physical safeguards designed to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. These measures include, but are not limited to:
However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is one hundred percent (100%) secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee absolute security. In the event of a data breach that poses a risk to your rights and freedoms, we will notify affected individuals and applicable regulatory authorities as required by law.
This Section 7 applies exclusively to residents of the State of California and supplements the rest of this Privacy Policy. It is provided in compliance with the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (CCPA) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act of 2020 (CPRA).
California residents have the following rights with respect to their personal information:
You have the right to request that we disclose the categories and specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you, the categories of sources from which that information was collected, the business or commercial purposes for which it was collected, and the categories of third parties with whom we share it.
You have the right to request deletion of personal information we have collected from you, subject to certain exceptions (e.g., legal compliance, completion of a transaction, security, fraud prevention).
You have the right to request correction of inaccurate personal information we maintain about you.
The Campaign does not sell or share personal information as defined under the CCPA/CPRA. Accordingly, no opt-out mechanism is required; however, we honor all opt-out requests as a matter of policy.
To the extent we collect any sensitive personal information as defined under the CPRA, you have the right to limit its use and disclosure to purposes expressly permitted by law.
We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your rights under the CCPA/CPRA. You will not receive a different level of service or be penalized in any way for exercising your privacy rights.
