Privacy Policy

This website is operated by West Contra Costa Strong Schools Alliance, Vote Yes on V, FPPC #1495230 (“we,” “us,” or “our”), the committee supporting Measure V for West Contra Costa schools. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you visit this website, sign up to volunteer, join our text message program, or otherwise contact us, and how we use it.

We collect only the information needed to run the campaign and communicate with supporters:

• Contact information you give us, such as your name, email address, mailing address, and mobile phone number, when you fill out a sign-up or volunteer form or email us.
• Mobile opt-in information, including your mobile phone number, the date and time you opted in, and the consent language you agreed to, when you join our text message program.
• Volunteer and event details you choose to share, such as availability or neighborhood.
• Technical information collected automatically, such as browser type, device type, pages viewed, and approximate location derived from your IP address.
• Contribution information. Donations are processed by a third-party fundraising platform (see below). We do not receive or store your full payment card number.

• To respond to your questions and requests.
• To organize volunteers, canvassing, and campaign events.
• To send campaign updates, Measure V information, and election reminders by email and, if you opted in, by text message.
• To request contributions, where you have agreed to receive such messages.
• To keep records of consent and to comply with campaign finance and other applicable laws.
• To maintain, secure, and improve this website.

If you provide your mobile phone number and agree to receive text messages from West Contra Costa Strong Schools Alliance, Vote Yes on V, we use that number only to send the informational text messages described in our Terms & Conditions.

Mobile opt-in information will not be sold or shared to third parties.

No mobile information, including text messaging originator opt-in data and consent, will be shared with third parties or affiliates for their marketing or promotional purposes. Our text messaging service provider and mobile carriers transmit messages on our behalf only and are not permitted to use your phone number for any other purpose.

You can opt out at any time by replying STOP to any message. For help, reply HELP or email wccstrongschoolsalliance@gmail.com.

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We share information only in these limited situations:

• With service providers that help us operate the campaign (for example, email delivery, form hosting, volunteer scheduling, and fundraising platforms), who may use it only to provide services to us.
• When required by law or legal process, including campaign finance reporting. California law may require us to publicly disclose certain information about contributors, such as name, address, occupation, and employer, for contributions above reporting thresholds.
• To protect the rights, safety, or property of the campaign, our supporters, or others.

This does not apply to mobile opt-in information, which is handled as described above.

This website uses or links to services run by others, including Google Forms (sign-up form), Mobilize (canvassing and events), eFundraisingConnections (donations), and social platforms such as Facebook and Instagram. These services collect information under their own privacy policies, and we encourage you to review them. We are not responsible for their practices.

We and our service providers may use cookies and similar technologies to keep the site working, remember preferences, and understand how visitors use it. You can control cookies through your browser settings; disabling them may affect how some features work.

We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards to protect your information, but no method of transmission or storage is completely secure. We keep information only as long as needed for the purposes above and to meet legal record-keeping requirements. Records of text message consent are kept for as long as required to demonstrate compliance.

• Reply STOP to any text message to stop receiving texts.
• Use the unsubscribe link in any email to stop receiving emails.
• Contact us to request access to, correction of, or deletion of the personal information we hold about you. California residents may have additional rights under California privacy law, including the right to know what personal information is collected and to request its deletion. We will not discriminate against you for exercising these rights, and we do not sell personal information.

This website is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has given us information, contact us and we will delete it.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top shows when it last changed. Continued use of the website after an update means you accept the revised policy.
