The Davidson County Democratic Party is committed to protecting your privacy online. While using our website, you do not have to identify yourself or divulge personal information.

The Democratic Party is continually trying to expand online activism and to give voters the information they need in a timely manner. As a result, we may request contact information from you, but you are not obligated to provide it. If you choose not to give us any information, we may not be able to provide you with timely information regarding events and issues important to you as a politically interested and active citizen.

Protecting Your Contact Information

When you sign up for our email list, fill out a volunteer form, or otherwise supply personal contact information through our website, that information is used only by the Davidson County Democratic Party. Information you supply on volunteer forms will be forwarded to individuals coordinating volunteer activities. When you subscribe to our email list, you will be given the opportunity to unsubscribe at the bottom of each email we send you.

We do not sell, rent, or otherwise give away our mailing list to anyone, including candidates running for office, unless you have specifically authorized us to do so. The Davidson County Democratic Party may choose to send you information about or on behalf of candidates, but we will not provide our contact lists to candidates directly for their own purposes unless you have specifically authorized us to do so.

Protecting Your Financial Information

When you make an online donation, your financial information (e.g. credit card number) is processed using state-of-the-art security measures by our online payment providers, Pay Pal and Politics Online. The Davidson County Democratic Party does not see your financial information, nor do we retain it in our records.

We are required by federal law to collect and report to the Federal Election Commission the name, mailing address, occupation and name of employers of individuals whose contributions exceed $200 in a calendar year. These records are available to the public. However, they cannot be used by other organizations for fundraising. For additional information on these rules, please visit the FEC website at http://www.fec.gov. We also make a note of your telephone number and email address, which helps us contact you quickly if follow-up on your contribution is necessary under federal election law.

Protecting Children Online

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. While we provide information for children on our “Just for Kids” page, we do not knowingly contact or collect personal information from children under 13. Our site is not intended to solicit information of any kind from children under 13.

Additional Information

This privacy policy may be amended by the Davidson County Democratic Party at any time without notice other than posting of amendments on this site.

If you have any questions about our privacy policy, the information we have collected from you online, the practices of this site or your interaction with this website, send an email to webmaster@davidsoncountydemocrats.org.
