What we collect, in plain English

What we collect

• If you volunteer: your name, email, and optionally your phone number, village, skills and a note. If you tick the SMS box, that consent is recorded with a timestamp.
• If you use Ask Suresh: the text of your question and which sourced facts were returned. Your IP address is not stored alongside the question.
• Analytics: page path, referrer, event name, language and device class — aggregate only, with no identifier that can be traced back to a person, and no cross-site tracking.

What we do not collect

• Payment card details. Contributions go entirely through the committee's processor; this site never touches them.
• Your party registration, voting history, or voter file record.
• Anything medical, financial or about your household.
• Advertising or social pixels. There is no Meta Pixel, no Google Ads tag, no third-party font request, and no fingerprinting.

What we do with it

We email you about this campaign. Volunteer coordinators see your village so they can route you to doors near your home. Questions asked of the assistant are read in aggregate so the campaign knows what residents actually want to know — which turns out to be the most useful research a local campaign can get.

We do not sell, rent, trade or share your details with any other campaign, party, committee, vendor or data broker. If a vendor ever needs access to run something on our behalf, they get a contract that forbids them from using it for anything else.

How long we keep it

Volunteer records are deleted twelve months after the November 3, 2026 election unless you are still subscribed. Assistant question logs are kept for the duration of the campaign and then deleted.

How to get your data, or delete it

Email electsuresh4mh@gmail.com with the subject line “data request.” We will send you everything we hold, or delete it, within thirty days. You do not have to give a reason and asking will not remove you from anything else you have chosen.

Every campaign email has a working unsubscribe link. Replying STOP to any campaign text stops the texts.

Where the law sits

The California Consumer Privacy Act applies to for-profit businesses meeting revenue or volume thresholds. A candidate-controlled committee is neither for-profit nor near those thresholds, so the CCPA almost certainly does not apply to this campaign. We have written this page as though it did, because the standard is a reasonable one regardless of whether a statute compels it.

We honour Global Privacy Control signals. Political text messages require prior express written consent under the federal Telephone Consumer Protection Act, which is why the SMS box on the volunteer form is unchecked by default and always will be.
