Privacy Notice

This page explains what happens to information visitors provide on this site. It applies to the Matt Wilson for Mississippi campaign website.

Information we collect

Depending on how you interact with this site, we may collect the following: your name, email address, county, ZIP code, and phone number if you sign up or volunteer; payment and related information if you contribute, handled by WinRed as described below; and general, non-identifying technical information about site visits, described under Analytics.

How we use information

We use the information you provide to respond to you, keep you updated on the campaign, coordinate volunteer activity, and comply with Mississippi campaign finance disclosure requirements where applicable. We do not sell personal information.

Joining the campaign, volunteering, and phone numbers

Providing a phone number on the signup form is optional. The campaign may use that number to contact you about volunteering or other campaign activities you have expressed interest in. Campaign text messages are optional. They are sent only to people who choose “Yes, send me campaign text messages” on a signup form and provide a mobile number. See Text Message Terms below. Providing a phone number does not, by itself, enroll you in campaign text messages. We do not sell your phone number.

Signup and email services: The campaign uses Netlify Forms to receive and store information submitted through the website signup form. The campaign uses Constant Contact to maintain its campaign email list. When you submit the signup form, the website sends your signup information automatically and directly from Netlify to Constant Contact over an encrypted connection; it does not pass through any other automation service or spreadsheet along the way. You may also join by emailing the campaign directly.

Speaking invitations: If you use the Invite Matt to Speak form, we collect your name, organization, email address, phone number, city, and the event details you provide. That information is stored in Netlify Forms and sent directly from Netlify to the campaign’s Constant Contact account, the same way as the signup form, so the campaign can respond to your invitation and schedule the event. Submitting the form also subscribes you to campaign emails once you confirm, and you may unsubscribe at any time.

Text Message Terms

Program. Matt Wilson for Mississippi sends recurring campaign text messages, such as event reminders, volunteer requests, and campaign news, to people who choose “Yes, send me campaign text messages” on a website signup form and provide a mobile number. Messages may be sent using automated technology. Consent is not required to join the campaign or to contribute.

Frequency and cost. Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply, depending on your mobile plan.

Stopping and help. Reply STOP to any message to stop receiving texts, or reply HELP for help. You may also email Matt@VoteForMattWilson.com. Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages.

Your mobile number. Your mobile number and your consent to receive texts will not be sold or shared with third parties or affiliates for their own marketing. The campaign may share them with a service provider that sends texts on the campaign’s behalf.

Records. Your choice, and the date of the consent wording you saw, are stored with your signup in Netlify Forms and Constant Contact.

Donations

The donation option on this site is processed by WinRed, a third-party payment platform. Information you provide to WinRed to make a contribution (such as your name, address, occupation, and employer) is collected and processed under WinRed’s own privacy practices, which you can review on their site before contributing. Separately, Mississippi campaign finance law requires certain contributor information to be publicly disclosed in campaign finance reports; that legally required disclosure is distinct from, and in addition to, WinRed’s handling of your payment information.

Analytics

The site uses Plausible Analytics, a privacy-focused service configured without advertising profiles, cross-site tracking, or cookies for ordinary site analytics. It measures aggregate, anonymous information such as page views, which pages are visited, and clicks on key links (the Donate button, the Join the Campaign link, and document downloads), clicks on links to other websites, and visits to pages that do not exist, so the campaign can understand which parts of the site are useful to visitors. This is separate from Netlify Forms, which receives signup submissions, and Constant Contact, which maintains the campaign’s email list. If additional analytics or advertising trackers are added in the future, this notice will be updated before they are added to explain what is running and what it collects.

Fonts and other technical resources

This site loads some of its typefaces from Google Fonts rather than hosting every font file itself. When your browser retrieves those files, it communicates directly with Google’s font servers, and that request can carry ordinary technical information such as your IP address, browser type, and the request itself. The campaign does not receive a personal profile from this and does not use it for tracking. That communication is governed by Google’s own privacy policy, not this one.

Embedded video: The News page can show a campaign video hosted on Facebook. It does not load until you choose to play it. When you do, your browser connects directly to Facebook, which may set cookies and collect information under Facebook’s own privacy policy, not this one.

Unsubscribing and correcting your information

Every campaign email includes an unsubscribe link. You may also ask to be removed from our list or ask us to correct or delete information we hold about you by emailing Matt@VoteForMattWilson.com. We will act on that request as quickly as we reasonably can.

Data retention

We keep volunteer and supporter information for as long as it is useful to the campaign, or until you ask us to delete it, whichever comes first. Information that WinRed or Constant Contact retains independently is governed by that provider’s own retention practices.

Security

We take reasonable steps to protect information submitted through this site, but no method of online transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Children’s privacy

This site is not directed to children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes in a material way, we will update the effective and last-updated dates above and, where appropriate, note what changed.

Accessibility

We want this site to be usable by everyone. If you have trouble accessing any part of it, please let us know at Matt@VoteForMattWilson.com, and we will work to address it.

Questions about this privacy policy or information submitted to the campaign may be sent to Matt@VoteForMattWilson.com.
