We may change this Privacy Policy from time to time.  If we make changes, we will notify you by changing the date on the top of the policy.  We encourage you to review the Privacy Policy and to stay informed about our information practices and the ways in which we protect your privacy.

Collection of Information

We collect a variety of information that you directly provide to us.  For example, we collect information when you fill out a form, make a donation, send us an email, sign a petition, sign up to become a volunteer or otherwise communicate with us.  The types of information that we may collect include your name, email address, postal address, phone number, fax number, credit card information and other contact information you may choose to provide us.  In addition, when you use our website certain information is automatically collected.  For example, when you visit our website, our systems automatically collect your IP address and the type of browser you use.

Use of Information

The protection of your information is important to us.  For this reason, we limit the use of personal information to the following purposes:

To Comply with Campaign Finance Laws.  The Federal Election Commission (FEC) requires that we collect (and disclose) the name, mailing address, occupation, and employer of all individuals whose donations exceed $200 per election cycle.

To support the Campaign.  We may use information you provide to operate this site, send you news and information about John Bartlett for Congress and to solicit your participation in John Bartlett for Freeholder programs, events and activities, and obtain and confirm RSVP’s to events and programs.  We use your email address to send such information by email and may use your telephone number to call you for these purposes.

To protect you and ourselves.  We release personal information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law (e.g., a lawful subpoena), to protect our rights or property, or to protect our donors and supporters from fraudulent, abusive, or unlawful conduct, or if we reasonably believe that an emergency involving immediate danger of death or serious physical injury to any person requires disclosure of communications or justifies the disclosure of records without delay.

To support Democratic Candidates and Organizations.  We may disclose selected personal information (other than credit card or bank information) to other campaigns and organizations that we believe are like-minded or that we believe you may wish to hear from.
