Privacy


Information From the Public Online Voting Service

Information you submit on ByThePeople2020.org to record and document your vote — other than your financial information — should be considered public and non-private.

The information collected (other than financial information) may be provided to your presidential candidate, your presidential candidate’s campaign, to all 2020 presidential candidates, to all 2020 presidential candidates’ campaigns, and publicly as necessary. Information may be made public 1) at the request of any presidential candidate or 2) by request of 5% of U.S. voters.

This website and online service is hosted by Squarespace; your financial information is processed using PayPal or Stripe; form submissions are stored using Google Drive and on encrypted email servers using Tutanota; and your photos are processed and stored by Dropbox. For more information, please review the privacy policies of these companies, respectively, linked in the final section below.

Information From Campaign Donations

Update (September 1, 2020): This campaign is no longer accepting campaign donations. Please consider charitable donations to those economically affected by the COVID-19 crisis instead.

If you make a campaign donation, federal law requires that certain information, including your name and the amount of the donation, be provided to the FEC, a government agency tasked with ensuring the integrity of campaign finance.

If you donate $200 or more to this campaign in total, we are legally required to provide additional information to the FEC, such as your occupation and employer. We report only information that is voluntarily provided by you with your donation.

Information Within Our Control

Data collection on this site, including the use of cookies and analytics, is disabled to the extent possible. Information within our control is not processed, analyzed, or shared with anyone, with the exception of campaign donations and public voting information (see above).


Information Beyond Our Control

The providers we use may track or analyze your data by means beyond our control. They are Squarespace, Stripe, PayPal, Vimeo, Twitter, Facebook (Facebook and Instagram), Apple, Dropbox, Tutanota, and Google (Google and YouTube). Data collection settings are disabled when possible.

 

If something seems different about this privacy policy, it’s honesty and transparency.

The information you provide to an organization often goes far beyond the reach of the privacy policy and practices of the organization itself.
