Collection of your Personal Information
There are several places on our web site where we may ask for your name, address, telephone number, email address, interests and other information. We use the information you provide to send you the latest news and updates. We work closely with national and local Democratic committees and candidates, and we may share some basic contact information with them, and they may contact you. In addition, we may contact you on behalf of some other like-minded organizations, but we do not share your contact information with them.
When you sign one of our petitions or endorsements: We treat your name, city, state, and any comments as public information. We may, for example, provide compilations of petitions, with your comments, to national leaders, without disclosing email addresses. We may also make comments along with your city and state available to the press and public online.
When you contribute money online: Under Federal Election law, we are required to make periodic filings that provide the Federal Election Commission with information on each contributor: name, address, amount of contribution, date of contribution, employer and occupation. We collect and disclose this information, and we also request other information to verify the legality of your contribution. When you make a contribution online, we also ask for your credit card number, expiration date and CCV code. This information is transmitted directly to our credit card processor using 128-bit encryption and is never stored on our servers.

The e-mails we send will include information on unsubscribing, and you may always contact us and request to be removed from a particular list.
We occasionally hire other companies to provide limited services on our behalf, such as handling the processing and delivery of mailings, providing customer support, processing transactions, or performing statistical analysis of our services. We will only provide those companies the personal information they need to deliver the service. They are required to maintain the confidentiality of your information and are prohibited from using that information for any other purpose.
