We are committed to protecting the privacy and security of visitors to barrassoforwyoming.com and related sites that we may establish from time to time (our “web site”). This privacy policy applies to all sites we maintain and control, and explains our use of the information we receive and collect.
Except as explained in this privacy policy, we will not knowingly make Personal Information available to anyone other than our employees, staff, agents and vendors. We have outlined our privacy policy for you below, and urge you to contact us with questions.
Security:
We will do our best to protect your Personal Information as provided for in this privacy policy. We have implemented a number of security protocols (software, hardware, physical access restrictions) to protect against the unauthorized use and access to our systems and data. While we have taken commercially reasonable steps to protect your Personal Information, we cannot guarantee complete security of your Personal Information or other information we may have in our possession.
You also play a role in protecting your Personal Information. We encourage you to password protect your computer, protect your Personal Information, and log off your computer when you are done using it. Change your passwords frequently and do not store them on your computer.
Collection and disclosure of information:
Federal law and the Federal Election Commission require that we use our best efforts to collect certain information for every donation we receive. This means we collect Personal Information that can be directly associated with a donor. “Personal Information” includes, by way of illustration, names, addresses, donation history, telephone numbers and e-mail addresses. We cannot guarantee anonymity for a contribution of any amount.
We also collect Personal Information from visitors of our web site, donors, supporters and others who ask to receive information, email, or other services from us. We collect this Personal Information in order to provide timely or important information electronically, to comply with applicable legal requirements, and to ensure the technical functioning of our web site. From time to time, we may disclose your Personal Information to third parties, without providing notice to you. We do this to help candidates, campaigns, and other organizations with similar political views and objectives and to further our organization. We may also disclose your Personal Information to an entity registered with the Federal Election Committee and designated as the principal campaign committee.
We may be asked by law enforcement or judicial authorities to provide Personal Information to the appropriate governmental authorities, and we will cooperate with any official investigation or request. We reserve the right to report to law enforcement agencies any activities that we believe to be unlawful.
