This Privacy Policy explains how Megan Sladek for Mayor of Oviedo (the “Campaign”, “we” or “us”) collects, uses, and discloses information about you when you access or use her websites and applications that link to this Privacy Policy (collectively, the “Site”).
We may change this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make changes, the campaign will notify you by revising the date at the top of the policy and, in some cases, we may provide you with additional notice (such as adding a statement to her website homepage or sending you a notification). We encourage you to review the Privacy Policy whenever you access the Site or otherwise interact with us to stay informed about our information practices and the choices available to you.
COLLECTION OF INFORMATION
INFORMATION YOU PROVIDE TO US
We collect information you provide directly to us. For example, we collect information when you sign up to receive updates, request information, fill out a form, sign a petition, sign up as a volunteer, sign up for an event, participate in a contest or promotion, make a donation or purchase or communicate with us via third party social media sites, request support, send us an email, 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 (although payment information is generally collected directly by a third-party processor) , and any other information you choose to provide.
In addition, the Supervisor of Elections may require us to collect certain personal information from donors. For example, the Florida state law requires us to collect (and disclose to the public) the name, mailing address, and occupation of all individuals whose donations to the Campaign exceed $100 per election cycle.
