Faraci For Senate is committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring transparency about how your personal information is collected, used, and safeguarded. This policy outlines how we handle your data in compliance with applicable privacy laws and how we protect the interests of the candidate, the campaign, and supporters.

We may collect the following personal information:

• Name

Providing less information may limit your ability to fully use the services we offer, but you are free to choose what information to provide.

Candidate Protection Clause

Faraci For Senate takes every reasonable measure to protect the personal information of the candidate, including but not limited to name, address, contact information, and personal financial data, from unauthorized access or disclosure. Information collected about the candidate, as well as any staff or volunteers, is treated with the highest level of confidentiality.

We also implement physical, technical, and administrative safeguards to protect the campaign’s digital infrastructure from cybersecurity threats, such as hacking or phishing attacks. Any attempt to unlawfully access the campaign’s data will be met with all appropriate legal responses.

Data Sharing and Disclosure

We respect your privacy and will only share your personal data when necessary:

• Processing transactions (e.g., donations)

• Communicating with you via email, mail, or text
• Complying with legal requirements

We ensure that the candidate’s personal information, such as contact information and campaign strategies, is not disclosed without consent unless required by law. Internal sharing is limited to employees, contractors, and vendors who need access to this data to perform their duties and ensure the success of the campaign.

We do not sell or transfer personal information for commercial marketing purposes.

Information Security

We take all necessary precautions to protect your data and the campaign’s data from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. Personal information is encrypted during storage and transmission to protect it from breaches. Additionally, the campaign regularly reviews its security protocols to ensure the protection of sensitive information.

Please be aware that no system is entirely secure, and providing personal information involves some risk. Faraci For Senate will not be held liable for security breaches caused by third-party actors, although we will take immediate corrective measures in the event of a breach.

Candidate’s Personal Information and Digital Presence

To further safeguard the candidate, we monitor online threats and protect the candidate’s personal reputation from misinformation or malicious digital attacks. The campaign reserves the right to act against any party that uses fraudulent or malicious practices to harm the candidate’s public image or invade their privacy.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13. If you believe a child has provided us with their personal information, please contact us, and we will take steps to delete that information.
