Privacy Policy

Friends of Ryan Nawrocki (“we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the personal information you share with us. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect through this website (the “Site”), how we use it, and the choices you have. By using the Site, you agree to the collection and use of information as described in this policy.

Information We Collect

Information you provide voluntarily. When you contact us, sign up for updates, volunteer, or request a yard sign, we may collect information such as your name, email address, phone number, mailing address, and the contents of your message.

Text messaging opt-in. If you provide your phone number and opt in to receive text messages, we collect your phone number for the purpose of sending you campaign-related messages.

Information collected automatically. Like most websites, we may automatically collect certain technical information when you visit the Site, including your IP address, browser type, device type, the pages you visit, and similar usage data. This information may be collected through cookies and similar technologies.

How We Use Your Information

• To respond to your messages, questions, and requests.
• To send you updates, newsletters, and information about the campaign, events, and ways to get involved.
• To coordinate volunteer activities you sign up for.
• To improve the Site and how it performs for visitors.
• To comply with applicable legal requirements.

Text Messaging

If you opt in to receive text messages from us, your phone number will be used solely to send you campaign-related messages, such as updates, event reminders, and calls to action. Message and data rates may apply. You may opt out at any time by replying STOP to any message. Phone numbers collected for text messaging will not be shared with third parties for their own marketing purposes.

How We Share Your Information

We will not share, sell, rent, or disclose your personal information to third parties, except as described in this Privacy Policy or as required by law. We may share information with trusted service providers who help us operate the Site and communicate with supporters — such as email delivery, newsletter, and website hosting services — and only to the extent needed to perform those services on our behalf.

Contributions to the campaign are processed through a secure third-party donation platform and are subject to that platform’s own privacy policy. Please note that contribution records are subject to disclosure requirements under Maryland campaign finance law.

Cookies

The Site may use cookies and similar technologies to remember your preferences and understand how visitors use the Site. Most browsers let you refuse or delete cookies through your browser settings; doing so may affect how some parts of the Site function.

Data Security

We use industry-standard technologies and practices to help protect your personal information. However, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Children’s Privacy

The Site is not intended for children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we learn that we have inadvertently collected personal information from a child under 13 without parental consent, we will delete that information promptly.

The Site contains links to third-party websites, including social media, donation, and newsletter platforms. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those websites, and we encourage you to review their privacy policies.
