Utah Democratic Legislature Fund Privacy Policy
At the Utah Democratic Legislature Fund (D PAC),
we are committed to protecting your privacy online. While using our
website, you do not have to identify yourself or divulge personal
information. If you should choose to give us your personal information,
you decide the amount of information you provide.
The Utah Democratic Legislature Fund is
continually trying to expand online activism and to give voters the
information they need in a timely manner. As a result, we may
periodically ask you to provide information such as your name,
addresses, phone numbers and email address in an effort to enhance our
ability to work with you as an online activist. If you choose not to
give us any information, we may not be able to provide you with timely
information regarding events and issues important to you as a
politically interested and active citizen.
The Utah Democratic Legislature Fund maintains
several interconnected websites at any given time. The principal
website, dpac.org, is permanent. Other issue-specific websites are
created and removed as needed to highlight important issues and events.
All websites owned and operated by the Utah Democratic Legislature Fund
are identified by the text "Paid for by the Utah Democratic Legislature
Fund".
Our privacy policy explains the information
practices we use at dpac.org and other organizational websites related
to:
Our site links to a limited number of other
websites. D PAC is not responsible for the content or the privacy
policies of these websites.
This privacy policy may be amended by the D PAC at
any time without notice other than posting of such amendments on this
site.
Our website has security measures in place to
protect against the loss, misuse or alteration of the information under
our control. Our servers are located in a locked, secure environment.
When you contribute online, the D PAC uses
state-of-the-art security protocols to protect sensitive data, such as

is protected with an HMAC keyed hash. The privacy of this data is
ensured with a keyed symmetric encryption algorithm. While this data is
being transferred, it is protected by the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)

When you
volunteer online:
Our volunteer forms ask you to give us contact
information (such as your name and email address) and geographic
information (such as your zip code and state). We use this information
to send you customized content about campaigns and to help match your
interests to campaign activities. If you provide your phone number, we
may call you. If you choose to subscribe to an email newsletter, we use
your email address to send you that newsletter. You may remove your
email address from that subscriber list by visiting the unsubscribe page
for that list.
When you
contribute money online:
We are required by state law to collect and report
to the Utah State Elections Department the name, mailing address, and
occupation of individuals whose contributions exceed $50 in a calendar
year. These records are available to the public. However, they cannot be
used by other organizations for fund raising. For additional
information, visit the State Elections Department website at
http://elections.utah.gov. We
also make a note of your telephone number and email address, which helps
us to contact you quickly if follow-up on your contribution is necessary
under Utah state or federal election law.
When you sign up for one of our mailing
lists:
We collect your name, contact information, and
email address, and certain other information. We use your email address
to send you the email newsletter to which you subscribed. You may remove
your email address from that subscriber list by sending an email to
info@dpac.org.
When you fill out one of our surveys:
Your opinion matters to the Utah Democratic
Legislative Fund and we want your input. As a result, we occasionally
use surveys to help us understand which issues you are interested in.
These aggregate survey results are used to help inform lawmakers, while
individual survey results help us deliver to you customized web content.

Because we care about the safety and privacy of
