Introduction

CampaignBase, LLC (“CampaignBase,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) operates the campaign management platform available at campaignbase.vote and related applications (collectively, the “Platform”).

Our Platform handles sensitive information including voter registration data, donor information, and campaign strategy. We take our obligations with respect to this information seriously.

Service Providers

We share information with third-party service providers who assist us in operating the Platform. These providers are contractually obligated to use your information only as directed by us and in accordance with this Privacy Policy. Our current service providers include:

We may share your information with third parties when you have given us explicit consent to do so.

Special Provisions Regarding Voter Data

Given the sensitive nature of voter registration data and the legal restrictions that apply to its use, we want to be especially clear about how voter data is handled on our Platform.

Campaign-Specific Isolation

Voter data imported by one campaign is strictly isolated from all other campaigns. We do not cross-reference, share, or combine voter data between different campaigns using our Platform. A voter record imported by Campaign A is never visible to, accessible by, or used in connection with Campaign B.

Permitted Uses of Voter Data

Voter data stored on our Platform may only be used for the following purposes:

• Enabling the importing campaign to manage its voter outreach and contact operations
• Providing the campaign management features of the Platform
• Improving Platform performance and fixing technical issues (using aggregated, anonymized data only)

Prohibited Uses of Voter Data

CampaignBase expressly prohibits the following uses of voter data:

• Selling or licensing voter data to any third party
• Using voter data for commercial, advertising, or non-campaign purposes
• Combining voter data across campaigns
• Using voter data to build models or profiles for purposes other than the specific campaign
• Any use that violates applicable state voter data use restrictions

Candidate Responsibility

Candidates are solely responsible for ensuring their use of voter data complies with the laws of their jurisdiction. Most states restrict the use of voter registration data to campaign and political purposes only. CampaignBase provides this data management tool — we do not represent that any particular use of voter data is lawful in any particular jurisdiction. If you have questions about the lawful use of voter data in your state, please consult a qualified attorney.

Confidential Voter Records

Some voter records are marked as confidential by state election authorities (for example, addresses of domestic violence victims or law enforcement personnel). Our Platform recognizes these confidentiality flags and applies appropriate restrictions to the display and export of such records.

Data Retention

We retain your information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you with the Platform’s services. Specific retention periods:

• Account information — retained while your account is active. Deleted within 30 days of account deletion upon request.
• Campaign data (voter files, donor lists, volunteer information) — retained while your account is active. Deleted within 90 days of account cancellation or deletion.
• Payment records — retained for seven (7) years as required by applicable tax and accounting laws.
• Communications logs — retained for 90 days, then deleted.
• Backup data — retained in encrypted backups for up to 30 days after primary deletion.
• Analytics data — retained in anonymized, aggregated form indefinitely.

You may request deletion of your data at any time through the account settings page or by contacting us at privacy@campaignbase.vote. We will respond to deletion requests within 30 days.

Data Security

We implement commercially reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include:

• Encryption of data in transit using TLS
• Encryption of sensitive data at rest
• Access controls limiting employee access to user data
• Regular security reviews of our infrastructure and code
• Third-party hosting providers with SOC 2 certifications

No method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially reasonable means to protect your information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. In the event of a data breach that affects your information, we will notify you in accordance with applicable law.

Your Rights and Choices

Access and Correction

You may access and update your account information at any time through your account settings. If you believe any information we hold about you is inaccurate, please contact us and we will correct it promptly.

Data Export

You may export your campaign data at any time through the Account Settings page. Your data will be provided in CSV format. This includes your voter file, donor list, volunteer list, and contact database.

Deletion

You may request deletion of your account and associated data at any time. Upon receiving a deletion request, we will delete your personal information and campaign data within 30 days, subject to any legal retention obligations. Some information, such as payment records, must be retained for legal and tax purposes.

Marketing Communications

You may opt out of receiving marketing emails from us by clicking the “unsubscribe” link in any marketing email or by updating your email preferences in your account settings. You will continue to receive transactional emails necessary for your account (such as receipts and security alerts) even if you opt out of marketing communications.

Cookie Preferences

You may manage your cookie preferences through the cookie consent banner on our website or through your browser settings. Note that disabling essential cookies will affect your ability to use the Platform.

California Residents

California residents may have additional rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), including the right to know what personal information we collect, the right to delete personal information, the right to opt-out of the sale of personal information (CampaignBase does not sell personal information), and the right to non-discrimination for exercising these rights. To exercise these rights, please contact us at privacy@campaignbase.vote.

Campaign Communications Compliance

SMS and Text Messages (TCPA)

Our Platform enables campaigns to send text messages to voters, donors, and volunteers. Campaigns using our SMS features are solely responsible for compliance with the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) and all applicable federal and state laws governing text message communications.

Campaigns must:

• Obtain proper consent before sending text messages, as required by the TCPA
• Honor opt-out requests immediately upon receipt
• Maintain do-not-contact lists and suppress opted-out numbers before any send
• Ensure message content complies with applicable regulations

CampaignBase provides the technical platform for sending messages. We are not responsible for the content of messages sent by campaigns or for campaigns’ compliance with applicable law. CampaignBase reserves the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate applicable law or our Terms of Service.

Email (CAN-SPAM)

Our Platform enables campaigns to send bulk email to their contacts. Campaigns using our email features are solely responsible for compliance with the CAN-SPAM Act and all applicable federal and state email laws.

Our Platform includes built-in features to assist with CAN-SPAM compliance, including:

• Unsubscribe links in all bulk emails
• Suppression of opted-out email addresses
• Physical address disclosure in email footers

However, compliance responsibility rests with the campaign, not with CampaignBase.

Children’s Privacy

Our Platform is not directed to children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under 13, we will promptly delete that information. If you believe we have collected information from a child under 13, please contact us at privacy@campaignbase.vote.

Third-Party Links and Services

Our Platform may contain links to third-party websites, including vendor marketplace links, news sources, and state election authority websites. This Privacy Policy does not apply to those third-party sites. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party sites you visit.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. We will notify you of any material changes by:

• Posting the new Privacy Policy on this page with an updated “Last Updated” date
• Sending an email notification to the email address associated with your account
• Displaying a prominent notice on our Platform

Your continued use of the Platform after the effective date of any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with the changes, you should stop using the Platform and may request deletion of your account.
