We will never sell, rent, trade, or monetize your personal information to data brokers, commercial marketing agencies, or corporate entities. Any contact information or utility bill figures you provide stay strictly within our grassroots campaign for civic advocacy and accountability.
1. Scope & Commitment
This Privacy Policy applies to the official website of the Sally Busby for Indiana Committee ("we," "us," "our," or "the Campaign"), located at sallyforindiana.com, as well as all web forms, interactive calculators, volunteer signups, yard sign portals, and constituent communication tools linked to or hosted on this domain.
By accessing our website or voluntarily submitting information to our campaign through any of our interactive tools or signup forms, you acknowledge and agree to the data collection, handling, and safeguarding practices described in this document, alongside our Terms of Service.
2. Information We Collect
We collect information primarily to facilitate direct constituent service, coordinate grassroots organizing across District 78, and compile aggregate data on utility accountability and economic priorities. We collect data in two primary categories:
A. Information You Provide Directly
When you interact with our forms, you may voluntarily provide personal identifiers and civic feedback, including:
- Contact & Identification Details: First and last name, email address, phone number, and residential street address or ZIP code (collected via Volunteer Signups, Yard Sign Delivery Requests, and Newsletter forms).
- Constituent Priorities & Feedback Submissions: First name, email address, custom feedback messages, and priority policy selections submitted through our interactive Priorities Poll & Survey Engine (`/api/submit-poll`).
- Utility Bill & Economic Impact Data: Monthly utility bill figures ($) and utility provider names (e.g., CenterPoint Energy) submitted through our interactive Household Utility Calculator.
- Constituent Inquiries & Questions: Text submissions, inquiries, and topic selections provided through the "Ask Sally Anything" portal or Video Q&A submission form.
- Volunteer Activity Preferences: Specific roles you express interest in, such as door-to-door canvassing, hosting house parties, phone banking, or event setup.
B. Automatically Collected Technical Information
Like standard web servers, our infrastructure collects limited, non-personally identifiable technical diagnostic data when you visit our site:
- Device & Browser Diagnostics: Browser type and version, operating system, device categories (mobile versus desktop), and screen resolution.
- Interaction Metadata: Referring website URLs, pages viewed, timestamps of visits, and basic navigation pathways to help us optimize site accessibility and loading speed across rural and urban portions of District 78.
3. How We Use Your Data
We process and utilize collected information strictly for legitimate civic, operational, and grassroots campaign purposes, specifically:
- Constituent Response & Outreach: Answering direct questions submitted to Sally Busby, delivering weekly District 78 transparency dispatches, and providing critical updates on legislative developments or CenterPoint rate case accountability.
- Field Organizing & Logistics: Coordinating volunteer shift scheduling, dispatching yard sign delivery teams to specific addresses across Warrick and Vanderburgh counties, and inviting constituents to local neighborhood town halls.
- Policy Formulation & Aggregate Advocacy: Analyzing anonymized utility bill figures and poll priorities to quantify consumer burden across District 78, formulate legislative proposals, and present factual accountability research.
- Regulatory Compliance: Complying with mandatory Indiana Election Division and federal campaign finance reporting regulations, including verifying voter registry status when required for formal campaign record-keeping.
5. Encryption & Security Measures
We use strong, modern security measures to protect your personal information and ensure every interaction on our website remains private and safe:
- Always-Encrypted Connections (TLS 1.3 & HSTS): Every page and form on our website uses modern encryption (TLS 1.3). We enforce strict security policies (HTTP Strict Transport Security with preload protection) so your browser will only connect to our site over a secure, private connection—preventing eavesdropping or data interception.
- Verified Code & Scripts (Subresource Integrity): We use digital fingerprints (cryptographic hash verification) on all website files and scripts. This guarantees that our site's code hasn't been altered or tampered with by outside actors or malicious supply-chain attacks.
- Protection Against Scrapers & Attacks (CSP & Edge Security): Our hosting network enforces strict safeguards (Content Security Policy, `X-Frame-Options: DENY`, and `nosniff` rules) to block clickjacking, stop unauthorized data harvesting, and shield our forms from hostile research scrapers and automated bots.
- Clean, Secure Form Submissions: When you submit your first name, email address, feedback, or policy priorities, your inputs are checked and sanitized directly in your browser. They are then securely transmitted straight to our private servers over encrypted HTTPS without relying on heavy third-party encryption plugins or complex local key generation.
7. Your Rights & Opt-Out Choices
We believe you should have complete control over how and when you hear from your candidates. You maintain the following rights regarding any personal data submitted to us:
- Unsubscribe from Email Dispatches: Every transparency dispatch or weekly update email sent by our campaign includes a clear, instant `Unsubscribe` link in the footer. You can also opt out at any time by sending an email with the subject line "Unsubscribe" to our contact address.
- Right to Access & Correction: You may request a copy of the contact details or volunteer preferences we have on file for you, and request prompt correction of any inaccuracies.
- Right to Deletion ("Right to be Forgotten"): You may request that we permanently delete your contact information, utility submission records, or constituent inquiries from our active campaign databases at any time.
8. SMS & Mobile Messaging Compliance
If you voluntarily provide your mobile phone number and opt in to receive text messages or phone banking notifications from the Sally Busby for Indiana campaign, you agree to the following mobile messaging terms:
1. Consent & Frequency: By submitting your phone number via our forms, you consent to receive periodic campaign updates, event reminders, and volunteer coordination alerts. Message frequency varies based on election cycle activity.
2. No Mobile Data Sharing: No mobile information, opt-in data, or SMS consent will be shared with third parties/affiliates for marketing/promotional purposes.
3. Rates: Standard message and data rates may apply depending on your mobile carrier plan.
4. Instant Opt-Out: You may cancel or opt out of SMS messages at any time by replying STOP, QUIT, or CANCEL to any text message received. For assistance, reply HELP or contact us directly.
9. Children's Privacy (COPPA Compliance)
Our website, platform materials, and civic advocacy portals are intended for eligible voters, general adult audiences, and youths aged 13 and older engaged in high school civic programs. We do not knowingly solicit, collect, or store personal identifying information from children under the age of 13 in accordance with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).
If a parent or legal guardian believes that a child under age 13 has submitted personal contact information to our campaign without parental consent, please contact us immediately so we can promptly purge the records from our servers.
10. Policy Updates & Contact Information
As campaign technologies and legal regulations evolve, we may occasionally update or revise this Privacy Policy. When changes occur, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page and conspicuously post the revised policy. Your continued use of our website or submission of forms following such updates constitutes acknowledgement of the revised terms.
