Privacy Policy
Progressive San Diego puts every effort forward
to ensure the privacy and security of
information that you share with us online. We
urge you to take steps also to protect the
privacy of your personal information, such as
safeguarding your passwords and logging off of
the website after submitting personal
information. If you have broadband access to the
Internet, we strongly advise you to use a
firewall.
Our privacy policy explains the information
practices we use at ProgressiveSD.org:
How do we protect your information?
Our website has a number of security measures in
place to protect against the loss, misuse or
alteration of the information under our control.
Our computer systems have restricted access
limited only to those persons and organizations
necessary to its proper functioning. This access
applies to all electronic and physical security
measures. Highly sensitive data including credit
card information is additionally secured through
the use of encryption, such as the Secure Socket
Layer (SSL) protocol. Our servers are located in
a locked, secure environment.
How do we use the information you provide?
On registration, eNewletter sign-up and contribution forms
on ProgressiveSD.org, we may ask for your name,
address, telephone number, and e-mail address.
We may also ask who, if anyone, referred you to
the site so that we can credit those who are
organizing volunteer support or fundraising for
Progressive San Diego.
We will use your e-mail address to provide you
news and information about Progressive San Diego. We may also use
your zip code and state to send you e-mail
messages about upcoming campaign events or
activities in your area.
On occasion, we may also use the information
that you provide online to contact you for other
purposes or to solicit you for contributions.
When you register or sign-up online, we may
share your contact information with successor
organizations and other like-minded Democratic
candidates and organizations, and they may
contact you. When you make a contribution to us,
we may also exchange your contributor
information with successor organizations and
other like-minded Progressive candidates and
organizations, and they may solicit you (see
below for additional information regarding your
contributor information). However, we will not
sell or exchange your credit card information to
any other third party under any circumstances.
When you contribute money online
We are required by federal law to collect and
report to the Federal Election Commission the
name, mailing address, occupation and employer
of individuals whose contributions exceed $200
in an election cycle. These records are
available to the public. However, they cannot be
used by other organizations for fundraising. We
also make a note of your telephone number and
email address, which helps us to contact you
quickly if follow-up on your contribution is
necessary under Federal election law. For
additional information, visit the FEC website at
http://www.fec.gov.
When you sign one of our petitions
When you sign one of our petitions, we treat
your name, city, state, and any comments as
public information. We may, for example, provide
compilations of petitions, with your comments,
to national leaders, without disclosing email
addresses. We may also make comments available
to the press and public online, identifying only
your city and state.
When you schedule online events
When you schedule an event and post it on
ProgressiveSD.org you have the choice of making
your event public or semi-public. Public events
will display your name and the address of the
event to any visitor browsing the system and
allow those users to RSVP online. Semi-public
events will display your name and the general
area that you define (e.g.,"Elm & Main", or
"downtown"), but will not display the specific
address. Visitors can requests invitations, and
only after those requests are approved by you
can they see the address.
Cookies
A cookie is a tiny text file that is stored on
your computer by ProgressiveSD.org. We use
cookies to tailor your experience on our site
according to the preferences you have specified.
When you visit ProgressiveSD.org, we only
access the cookie file that we have stored on
your computer. We cannot and do not access any
information stored in a cookie by other
websites. Our cookies do not contain any
personal identifiable information.
IP Addresses and Log File Data
We log your IP address, which is the location of
your computer or network on the Internet, for
systems administration and troubleshooting
purposes. We also use page hits in the aggregate
to track the popularity of pages that people
visit in order to improve the quality of the
site. There is no personal identifiable
information collected in our log files.
Information on Children
Because we care about the safety and privacy of
children online, we comply with the Children's
Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 (COPPA).
COPPA and its accompanying FTC regulations
establish United States federal law that
protects the privacy of children using the
Internet. We do not knowingly contact or collect
personal information from children under 13,
without express and verifiable parental consent.
Our site is not intended to solicit information
of any kind from children under 13, and we have
designed our sites to block our knowing
acceptance of information from children under 13
whenever age-related information is requested.
Parents with questions may e-mail us at support@ProgressiveSD.org.
Unsubscribing from Email Communications
If you wish to unsubscribe from our
communications, please email us at unsubscribe@ProgressiveSD.org.
We will regularly process these requests. To
comply with federal election law, however, our
contributor records will be continuously
maintained in a separate secure database.
Use of Photos and Videos
Progresssive San Diego's
Committee (the "Committee") regularly takes
photographs and video ("Images") of campaign
events. Unless a participant or attendee
requests otherwise, his/her attendance at, or
participation in, an event with the Committee or
the Candidate is considered a release to use
images obtained during that event for any lawful
purpose, including on the Committee's website or
in other promotional materials. For the purposes
of this policy, “images” includes any still,
digital, video, and photographic images,
recordings, or drawings, which may include sound
or other audio clips.
The Committee does not require specific
permission from any or all individuals appearing
in photographs or video of the audience at an
event where specific individuals are not easily
identifiable. Your attendance or participation
is considered a release to use said images for
any lawful purpose. The Committee reserves the
right to use or not to use images of this type,
in its sole discretion, without seeking any
further permission.
In the event that an image of a child is used,
the Committee will not disclose the child's
name, age, location, or other "directory
information" without specific written and
verifiable consent by the child's parent or
guardian.
All images, both solicited and unsolicited,
which are submitted to the Committee become the
exclusive property of the Committee. You
understand that you will not receive
compensation or other consideration for any
images. You agree that you will not assert any
claim against the Committee, its successor
entities or other parties who use such images,
and you relieve the Committee of liability for
its use of the image(s).
By submitting images, you guarantee that you
have obtained the permission of all persons
contained in the image(s), and that it was taken
lawfully. You further understand that images of
minors must follow the guidelines listed above.
The Committee reserves the right to edit and use
any images as it sees fit including but not
limited to advertising or other communications
in any media, edited or unedited. You waive any
right to inspect or approve the finished images
or any printed or electronic use of the images
on the part of the Committee.
If you object to an image of you (or your child)
from appearing in photographs or video of
campaign events, please notify the Committee in
writing at:
