Privacy Policy

Effective Date: March 29, 2026

Laura Rodriguez-Carbone for Congress (“Campaign,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect your information when you visit our website, sign up for updates, make a contribution, volunteer, RSVP for events, contact us, or otherwise interact with the Campaign online or offline.

By using our website or providing your information to the Campaign, you agree to this Privacy Policy.

1. Information We Collect

We may collect information you voluntarily provide to us, including your name, email address, phone number, mailing address, ZIP code, employer and occupation where required for contributions or otherwise provided, donation and transaction information, volunteer interests and availability, event registration information, survey responses, petition responses, feedback, and any other information you choose to provide.

We may also automatically collect certain information when you use our website, including your IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, referring pages and URLs, pages visited, links clicked, date and time of visits, cookie and pixel information, and other analytics and usage data.

We may receive information from third parties, including fundraising, analytics, volunteer, voter-contact, event, and advertising platforms.

2. How We Use Information

We may use your information to send campaign updates, newsletters, alerts, and announcements; contact you about events, volunteer opportunities, canvassing, phone banking, fundraising, and other campaign activities; process contributions and maintain contribution records; comply with campaign finance, election, tax, and other legal obligations; respond to your questions, comments, and requests; personalize website content and communications; measure and improve our website, communications, outreach, and fundraising; conduct outreach by email, phone, text message, direct mail, and digital advertising; detect, prevent, and address fraud, abuse, security incidents, and unlawful activity; and protect the rights, safety, and security of the Campaign and others.

3. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We and our service providers may use cookies, pixels, tags, and similar technologies to operate our website, understand how visitors use it, measure the effectiveness of our communications and advertising, and improve outreach.

You can usually control cookies through your browser settings. Blocking some cookies may affect how parts of the website function.

4. How We Share Information

We may share your information with vendors, consultants, and service providers that help us operate the Campaign, including website hosts, payment processors, email and text platforms, analytics vendors, printers, mailing vendors, and organizing tools; with legal, compliance, accounting, and professional advisors; with affiliated committees, fundraising partners, political organizations, or event co-sponsors where appropriate and permitted by law; to comply with legal obligations, lawful requests, subpoenas, court orders, or reporting requirements; to protect the rights, safety, and security of the Campaign or others; and with your consent or at your direction.

We do not sell your personal information for money.

We do not share mobile opt-in data, text messaging originator opt-in information, or consent with third parties for their own marketing or promotional purposes.

5. Contributions and Donor Information

If you make a contribution, we may collect information needed to process that contribution and comply with applicable law, including your name, mailing address, employer, occupation, contribution amount, and contribution date, as applicable.

Certain contributor information may be publicly disclosed as required by federal, state, or local law.

Payment information is generally processed by a third-party payment processor rather than stored in full on our own systems.

6. ActBlue Donations

Our campaign website links donors to ActBlue to process online contributions. If you donate through ActBlue, your information may also be collected and processed under ActBlue’s own terms, conditions, and privacy practices.

7. Email and Text Messages

If you sign up to receive campaign emails or text messages, we may send you recurring updates about campaign news, events, volunteer opportunities, fundraising, voter information, and other campaign-related matters.

You may unsubscribe from campaign emails at any time by using the unsubscribe link in the email.

You may opt out of campaign text messages at any time by replying STOP. For help, reply HELP. Message frequency may vary. Message and data rates may apply.

Your consent to receive text messages is not a condition of making a contribution or supporting the Campaign.

8. Social Media and Third-Party Platforms

If you interact with us on Facebook, Instagram, X, YouTube, ActBlue, or other third-party platforms, your information may also be subject to those platforms’ own terms and privacy policies.

Our website may contain links to third-party websites or services. We are not responsible for the content, privacy practices, or security of those third-party sites.

9. Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to carry out the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, maintain records, comply with legal and reporting obligations, resolve disputes, and protect the Campaign.

10. Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information. No website, email, text transmission, or internet-based system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

11. Children’s Privacy

Our website is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information online from children under 13 in a manner that would violate applicable law. If you believe a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can review and address the issue.

12. Your Choices

You may choose not to provide certain information, but doing so may limit your ability to receive updates, volunteer, RSVP for events, or make contributions.

Depending on where you live, you may have rights under applicable privacy laws to request access to, correction of, or deletion of certain personal information, or to opt out of certain data uses, subject to applicable exceptions.

13. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the Effective Date above. Your continued use of our website or continued interaction with the Campaign after any updated version is posted means you accept the revised Privacy Policy.
