The campaign cares about your privacy rights and about providing you with the information you need in order to protect them. Accordingly, we have created this policy to explain our privacy practices. This policy applies to https://www.save-losangeles.com/ only and is operated by Michael Geraghty for State Assembly District 51 (FPPC Committee ID #1488578).
We may revise and update this policy if our practices change, if we add new features to the site, or if we change existing ones that affect these practices. We may also modify this policy if we find better ways to inform you of products or services that we think will be of interest. You should refer back to this page often for the latest information.
Information Collected About You
We collect a variety of personal information about those who register on our site, make contributions through our site, or use other functions or features on the site. Personal information is information that can be directly associated with a specific person or entity such as a name, address, telephone number, credit card information, bank account information, e-mail address, or information about activities that are directly linked to that person.
We collect information you give us when you register on our site, contact us, sign up for updates, volunteer, or make an online contribution. For example, when making a contribution, in addition to providing us your name, address, occupation and name of employer, you will need to provide us a billing address and credit card or bank account information, and answer a series of brief questions to make sure we may legally accept your contribution.
You may make changes to the information you have provided by visiting any form throughout the https://www.save-losangeles.com/ site. You may also contact us at [email protected] with any questions or changes to your account.

Network And Information Security
We employ a variety of physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to guard your personal information.

Disclosure Of Personal Information

(2) if we believe disclosure is required by any applicable law, rule, or regulation or to comply with law enforcement or legal process.
Information about our donors and website visitors is one of our most important assets and therefore we keep it confidential. Personal information is made available to others for the following limited purposes:

We may also be required to disclose personal information in order to carry out your requests when you use the site. For example, we may share personal information with third parties as necessary to complete a donation transaction or to deliver communications you have requested.
To Protect You and Ourselves
We release personal information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law (e.g., a lawful subpoena), to protect our rights or property, or to protect our donors and supporters from fraudulent, abusive, or unlawful conduct, or if we reasonably believe that an emergency involving immediate danger of death or serious physical injury to any person requires disclosure of communications or records without delay.
