Last Revised: [11/24/2024]
This Privacy Policy explains how the Center Solutions Party (the “CSP”, “we” or “us”) collects, uses, and discloses information about you when you access or use our websites and other online services.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make any changes to this Privacy Policy, we will notify you by revising the “Last Revised” date at the top of this Privacy Policy and, in some cases, we may provide you with additional notice (such as by adding a statement to our website homepage or by sending you a notification). We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy whenever you access or use the Services or otherwise interact with us to make sure that you stay informed about our information practices and the choices available to you.
WHAT INFORMATION DO WE COLLECT?
We collect information you provide directly to us. For example, we collect information when you make a donation, make a purchase from our online store, participate in any interactive features, sign up to receive email updates or other notifications (such as text message alerts), fill out a form, participate in a survey, communicate with us via third-party social media sites, or otherwise communicate with us. The types of information we may collect include your name, email address, postal address, phone number, credit card and other payment information, and any other information you choose to provide.
In addition, note that the United States Federal Election Commission, United States Internal Revenue Service, and certain state agencies may require us to collect and publicly report certain information from donors. For example, the Federal Elections Commission requires us to collect (and disclose) the name, mailing address, occupation, and employer of all individuals whose donations exceed $200 per calendar year.
When you access our website, we may automatically collect certain information about you, including information related to your access, such as your Internet Protocol (“IP”) address, your operating system, the type of browser you use, your access times, your pages viewed, and your links clicked.
When you make a purchase or a return, we collect information related to the transaction, such as product details, purchase price, and the date and time of the transaction. We may derive the approximate location of your device from your IP address.
We (and our service providers) use various technologies to collect information, including cookies and web beacons. Cookies are small data files stored on your hard drive or in device memory that, among other things, help us to improve your user experience, see which areas or features are popular, and count visits to our web pages.
Web beacons are small electronic images that may be used on the Services or in emails and that help to deliver cookies, count visits to the Services, monitor user activity on the Services, and understand usage and campaign effectiveness.
We may also obtain information from other sources and combine it with information we collect. For example, if you host or volunteer for an event associated with the CSP via a third-party, we may obtain certain information about you from that third party.
HOW DO WE USE THE INFORMATION WE COLLECT?
We use information we collect to provide, maintain, and improve our web pages; to provide you with services, products, or information, and to send you related information, such as notifications and confirmations; to send you technical notices, updates, security alerts, and support and administrative messages; to respond to your emails, submissions, comments, questions, and requests, and to provide customer service; to request feedback, and to otherwise contact you about your use of the Services; to send you newsletters, and to otherwise provide you with news and information that we think will be of interest to you, such as sending you information to keep you informed about various campaigns, candidates, issues, events, resources, promotions, contests, products, and services; to help connect you with other supporters, and to solicit volunteers, donations, and support for the CSP and for candidates, issues, events, and organizations that we support; to remind you to send in your voter registration form and to vote, to contact you if additional information is necessary under federal election laws or other applicable laws; to monitor and analyze trends, usage, and activities in connection with our web pages; to serve advertisements on our websites or other media, to notify and contact survey, contest, or sweepstakes participants; and to carry out any other purpose for which the information was collected.
Note that, if we collect your information through a third party, we may add your information to our supporter database and use such information for the purposes indicated in this section above.
WHAT INFORMATION DO WE SHARE WITH THIRD PARTIES?
We may share information about you with vendors, consultants, and other service providers; with candidates, organizations, groups, or causes that we believe have similar political objectives; to report required information to the United States Federal Elections Commission, United States Internal Revenue Service, and certain state agencies; when we believe in good faith that we are lawfully authorized or required to do so or that doing so is reasonably necessary or appropriate to comply with applicable laws or legal processes or to respond to lawful requests, claims, or legal authorities, including responding to lawful subpoenas, warrants, or court orders; when we believe in good faith that doing so is reasonably necessary or appropriate to respond to claims or to protect the rights, property, or safety of the CSP; and in connection with, or during negotiations of, any merger, reorganization, acquisition, asset sale, financing or lending transaction, or in any other situation where information may be disclosed or transferred.
We also may share aggregated or de-identified information with third parties that cannot reasonably be used by such third parties to identify you.
The above excludes automated text messaging opt-in consent; this information will only be shared (1) with vendors, consultants and other service providers who need access to such information to carry out work on our behalf (and who will not use such information for their own purposes); or (2) if we believe disclosure is required by any applicable law, rule, or regulation or to comply with law enforcement or legal process.
WHAT INFORMATION MAY BE SHARED IN CONNECTION WITH SOCIAL MEDIA SHARING FEATURES?
We may offer certain social media sharing features, which let you share actions you take on our web pages with other third party media. Your use of such features and tools enables the sharing of certain information with your friends or with the public, depending on the settings you establish with the thirty party that provides the social sharing features and other integrated tools. For more information about the scope of data collection and processing in connection with the social sharing features and other integrated tools, please review the privacy policies of the third parties that provide such features and tools.

We may allow others to provide analytics services and to serve advertisements on our behalf. These entities may use cookies, web beacons, device identifiers, and other technologies to collect information.
