Privacy Policy

At Jon Thorp for Congress, we’re committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about how we use your information. This policy explains what we collect, how we use it, and what choices you have. By visiting www.ThorpForCongress.com or engaging with us online, you agree to the terms outlined here.

​

​

Information We Collect

When you sign up, donate, volunteer, or fill out a form on our website, we may collect personal information such as your name, address, email, phone number, occupation, and employer. If you make a donation, we’ll also ask for your payment details and billing address. This information is used only to process your contribution securely and in compliance with campaign finance laws.

​

We also collect some technical information automatically when you interact with our website. This includes your IP address, browser type, device information, and browsing behavior on the site. Like many websites, we use cookies and analytics tools to help us understand how visitors use our site and how we can improve it.

​

How We Use Your Information

We use the information you provide to send you campaign updates, event invitations, and opportunities to get involved. This may include emails, text messages, or phone calls from our team. We may also use your information to confirm RSVPs, process donations, improve our communications, and enhance your overall experience with the campaign. In some cases, we may combine the information you share with data from public sources or trusted partners to better understand our supporters and improve our outreach.

​

Sharing Your Information

We do not sell your information. We may share your data with trusted vendors that help us run the campaign—such as email platforms, payment processors, or data tools—and with organizations, candidates, or causes that share our values and agree to keep your information secure and confidential. Text messaging opt-in data and consent are never shared with any third parties.

 

How We Protect Your Information

We use secure servers, SSL encryption, and internal access controls to protect the information you share with us. Only authorized staff and contractors who need the information to do their job can access it. While we take every reasonable precaution, no system is 100% secure, so we encourage you to use good judgment when submitting personal information online.

Cookies are small text files stored on your browser to help us understand how you use our site and improve your experience. Some cookies are temporary and disappear when you close your browser, while others may stay on your device until you delete them. You can choose to disable cookies in your browser settings, but some features of the site may not work as intended if you do. We also use tools like Google Analytics and may track email open rates or ad performance to better understand how our messages are received.

 

Children’s Privacy

This site is intended for use by individuals age 13 and older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13. If you’re a parent or guardian and believe your child has shared information with us, please contact us at info@thorpforcongress.com so we can delete it.

Our website may link to external sites for your convenience. These sites have their own privacy policies, and we’re not responsible for their content or practices. We encourage you to review their policies before sharing any personal information.

 

Policy Updates
