1. About this policy
This policy describes information handled through the Push the Vote website, including its contact form and optional website analytics. It does not cover websites you reach through external links.
2. Information you provide
The contact form asks for your name, email address, a topic, your message, and permission to use that information to respond. We also generate a submission reference, record when the message was received, and record its email-notification status. The form also checks a short drag gesture for spam protection. Gesture measurements are used for verification and are not saved with your message. The form does not accept document uploads.
Submitting an inquiry does not create a purchase, membership, sponsorship, donation, or marketing subscription.
3. Technical information and spam protection
Our hosting and delivery providers may process technical information such as IP addresses, browser details, request times, and security logs to operate and protect the service.
The contact system uses the request’s IP address and email address to create salted, hashed identifiers for rate limiting and time-limited anti-spam verification. It does not write the raw IP address to the contact database. These rate-limit records have expiration times and are cleaned up during later successful submissions. Hashing does not mean information is completely anonymous.
4. How we use information
- Receive, review, and respond to messages and partnership inquiries.
- Maintain contact records and understand whether notifications were accepted for delivery.
- Prevent spam, duplicate submissions, misuse, and technical problems.
- Understand general use of public information pages when you allow optional analytics.
- Handle privacy requests and meet applicable legal obligations.
We do not sell contact-form information or enroll you in marketing because you sent a message.
5. Analytics, cookies, and your choices
We use Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics 4, and Microsoft Clarity for optional analytics on public information pages. Clarity provides session recordings and heatmaps of interactions such as clicks and scrolling. These tools load only after you choose “Allow analytics.” They may process page visits, device and browser information, approximate location, and cookie identifiers. Advertising storage, advertising personalization, and advertising-user-data consent are disabled in this website’s analytics setup.
We do not load these analytics tools on the contact-form or privacy-policy pages. The site does not send names, email addresses, message text, or contact-submission references to Google Analytics or Clarity.
Your analytics choice is stored in this browser for up to 180 days. You can decline without losing access to the website or contact form. Use to change your selection. Withdrawing permission stops future analytics loading after the page refreshes; it does not undo information already processed by these providers. Browser settings can also remove existing cookies.
Google’s handling of information is described in its Privacy Policy. Microsoft’s handling is described in its Privacy Statement. Our public pages also load fonts from Google Fonts, which involves a connection to Google’s servers.
6. Who receives information
Contact messages are stored in a restricted database and delivered by email to the designated site operator so the inquiry can be handled. Authorized operators and service providers may access information as needed for those purposes.
Infrastructure includes Sites hosting, Cloudflare hosting, database and email services, and the recipient’s email service. Google and Microsoft receive analytics information only when you allow optional analytics. Providers may process data in countries other than where you live and apply their own service terms and retention practices.
Information may also be disclosed when required by law or reasonably necessary to protect the service and the rights or safety of people using it. We do not provide inquiry details to sponsors for their marketing.
7. Retention and security
Contact records are retained to handle inquiries, maintain relevant administrative records, and address security or legal needs. There is no fixed automatic deletion period for contact submissions. Copies delivered by email are subject to the recipient’s email retention practices.
We use access restrictions, encrypted website connections, server-side validation, and anti-spam controls. No transmission or storage system can be guaranteed completely secure.
8. Your requests
Use the contact form to ask about information you submitted, request a correction or deletion, or raise a privacy concern. Include enough context to identify your inquiry, such as its submission reference if you have it. Please do not send identity documents or other sensitive records.
We may need to verify a request before acting. Available rights and exceptions depend on applicable law; legal, security, or recordkeeping obligations may limit what can be deleted or disclosed.
9. Checklists and external resources
The civic-action checklist stays in the current browser tab. Downloading it creates a text file on your device; the checklist selections are not submitted to Push the Vote.
Links to election offices, government resources, and other sites take you to services with their own privacy practices. Push the Vote does not register voters, determine voting eligibility, or process immigration applications.
10. Children and sensitive information
This website is not intended to collect personal information from children under 13. A parent or guardian who believes a child submitted information can contact us through the form to request its removal.
Please do not submit medical records, immigration documents, financial account details, government IDs, passwords, or another person’s private information. The form is not for emergencies, medical care, or legal advice.
11. Updates and contact
We may update this policy when our practices change. The date at the top identifies the latest version. For questions about this policy or your information, contact Push the Vote.
