From you directly: name, phone number, email, mailing address — when you sign up via our form, text a keyword, or speak with a campaign volunteer.
From public records: We use the publicly available Texas voter file (Texas Election Code §18.001 et seq.) to identify registered voters in our district for door-to-door canvassing and SMS outreach. This includes name, mailing address, voter status, voting history (which elections a person voted in, not how they voted), and party affiliation where stated.
From our apps (CampaignText, BlockWalker): When campaign staff and volunteers use our iPhone apps, we may access (with your permission) your device’s location during a block walk, your microphone for voice notes, your camera for QR check-in, and your contacts solely to match against the voter file on-device. Your contacts are never uploaded to our servers.
We use the following vendors to operate the program. Each is bound by confidentiality and uses your information only to provide service to the Campaign:
By opting in, you consent to receive recurring campaign text messages. Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP at any time to opt out — you will be removed within minutes. Reply HELP for assistance.
We do not sell your personal information. We do not share it with other campaigns or with third parties for their marketing. No mobile information will be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. Text messaging originator opt-in data and consent will not be shared with any third parties. SMS opt-in will not be sold, rented, or shared. We may share with: (a) campaign staff and volunteers operating under confidentiality; (b) the service providers listed above, only as needed to run the program; (c) law enforcement if compelled by valid legal process.
We retain campaign records for the duration of the campaign cycle plus any period required by Texas Ethics Commission rules. After that, contact records are deleted or de-identified. You can request deletion at any time by texting STOP (which removes you from outreach) or by emailing the Campaign at the address below for full deletion of your record.
App users: Captains and walkers who use the apps can delete their account directly from the in-app Account menu.
If you live in California, the EU, or another jurisdiction with privacy laws, you have the right to: know what we hold about you, ask for a copy, ask for correction or deletion, and opt out of any sale (we do not sell). Email the Campaign to exercise these rights.
This service is not directed to anyone under 18. We do not knowingly collect information from minors. If you believe a minor has provided information, contact us and we will delete it.
We use TLS for transit, encrypted storage at rest, and access controls limiting voter data to authorized campaign staff. No system is 100% secure; we will notify affected users in the event of a material breach as required by law.
We may update this policy. Material changes will be posted here with a new “Last updated” date.
To exercise any privacy right described above, request deletion of your data, or ask a question about this policy, contact us:
