• Browser type and version

• Device type and operating system

• Pages visited, time spent, and clickstream data

Web beacons (also known as tracking pixels or clear GIFs) are small electronic images embedded in web pages and emails that help us count visits, understand usage patterns, and determine whether an email has been opened.

2.4 Information From Third Parties

We may receive information about you from third parties, including the Republican Party of Florida, affiliated candidates or campaigns, voter file vendors, or other organizations that share information for lawful political purposes. Any third-party information is subject to this Privacy Policy.

3. FEDERAL ELECTION COMMISSION DISCLOSURE REQUIREMENTS

IMPORTANT:   Federal law makes certain contributor information public.

As a federal candidate   committee registered with the Federal Election Commission (FEC),   contributions exceeding $200 in a calendar year must be reported publicly,   including the contributor's full name, mailing address, occupation, and   employer. All FEC disclosure reports are made publicly available by the FEC   on its website within 48 hours of receipt. We have no control over the FEC's   public disclosure of required contributor information. This is a legal   requirement of federal campaign finance law.

4. HOW WE USE YOUR INFORMATION

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

• To process campaign contributions and provide donation receipts

• To fulfill merchandise orders

• To comply with FEC reporting and disclosure requirements

• To send campaign news, updates, event invitations, fundraising appeals, and volunteer opportunities

• To help connect you with other supporters and volunteer opportunities

• To solicit support for the Committee and for other candidates, committees, or organizations we support, as permitted by law

• To respond to your inquiries and requests

• To contact you if additional information is needed, including for FEC compliance purposes

• To improve the functionality and content of our Website

• To analyze website traffic and campaign outreach effectiveness

• To verify eligibility to make contributions under federal law

• To carry out our obligations and enforce our rights under any agreements with you

5. PROHIBITION ON SALE OR COMMERCIAL USE OF CONTRIBUTOR INFORMATION

In compliance with federal law, the Committee will NOT:

• Sell, rent, or lease your personal information to any third party for commercial purposes

• Use contributor names and addresses obtained from FEC public disclosure reports to solicit contributions

• Use your information for any purpose inconsistent with this Privacy Policy

Federal law specifically prohibits the use of contributor information obtained from FEC disclosure reports for the purpose of soliciting contributions or for commercial purposes. We take this prohibition seriously and will not engage in any practice that violates federal campaign finance law.

6. INFORMATION SHARING AND DISCLOSURE

We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your personal information to outside parties except in the following limited circumstances:

We may share general, non-personally-identifiable information with allied campaigns, party committees, or political organizations for lawful political purposes.

We implement reasonable technical and organizational security measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. Payment information is processed through secure, PCI-compliant third-party payment processors and is not stored on our servers.

However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure. While we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. In the event of a data breach that is likely to result in a risk to your rights, we will notify you as required by applicable law.

12. CHILDREN'S PRIVACY

Our Website is not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. Federal law prohibits individuals under the age of 18 from making contributions to federal campaigns unless the funds belong to the minor and the decision to contribute is made solely by the minor.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided personal information to us, please contact us immediately at the address below and we will take prompt steps to remove that information from our records.

13. FLORIDA RESIDENTS

Florida's Digital Bill of Rights (FDBR) applies exclusively to technology platforms with more than $1 billion in global annual revenue. As a campaign committee, we are not subject to the FDBR. However, we are subject to the Florida Information Protection Act (FIPA), which requires us to take reasonable measures to protect personal information and to notify affected individuals in the event of a data breach involving their personal information.

If you are a Florida resident with questions about your privacy rights or our data practices, please contact us using the information provided in Section 15 below.

14. THIRD-PARTY LINKS AND SOCIAL MEDIA

Our Website may contain links to third-party websites, including social media platforms such as Facebook, X (formerly Twitter), Instagram, and YouTube, as well as news organizations and other political websites. This Privacy Policy applies only to our Website and Platform. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party websites. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party websites you visit.

When you interact with our campaign through social media platforms, those platforms may collect information about your interactions in accordance with their own privacy policies. We do not control what those platforms collect.

15. CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, applicable law, or FEC regulations. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this policy. In some cases we may provide you with additional notice, such as adding a statement to our Website homepage or sending you an email notification. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically.
