Privacy Policy

This privacy policy describes how we use your personal information.

• E-mail addresses

  We request your e-mail address when you donate so that we can e-mail you a receipt.

  You may also choose to receive periodic email updates during the course of the campaign. You can unsubscribe at any time by e-mailing unsubscribe@johnbonifaz.com.

• Information Sent to the Massachusetts Office of Campaign and Political Finance (OCPF)

  When you contribute, Massachusetts law requires us collect your name and residential address. Massachusetts law also requires us to collect your occupation and employer information if your annual aggregate contribution(s) is equal to or greater than $200. In the spirit of full public disclosure of our donors, we ask that you provide your occupation and employer information even if your contribution is less than $200 (though this information is not required of such donors). We record this information we collect from you, along with your contribution amount and date received, in our reports to OCPF, as required by Massachusetts law. OCPF reports containing this information are publicly available via the OCPF web site. We submit our reports at least once a month until the second half of the election year, in which case we submit our reports at least twice a month.

• Credit Card Information

  We securely transmit your credit card information to the payment processor, and do not store this information unless you have specifically requested a recurring contribution. We also request your phone number when you contribute so that we can reach you should further verification of your credit card information be required.

• Reports to fundraising page authors

  Authors of fundraising pages receive reports about donations made through the web pages they create. These reports include the dates, amounts, and recipients of these contributions. When you contribute to a user-created fundraising page, you may choose to share your name and contact information with the page author. If you choose not to do so, the author's report will list the donation as anonymous. (Your name and contact information will still be included in OCPF reports as described above.)

• Use of third party vendors

  Credit card transaction processing on johnbonifaz.com is provided by AuburnQuad. Johnbonifaz.com may share your personal data to these and other third parties in connection with the processing of your contributions. Any such third parties shall be required to maintain and use your information in accordance with our privacy policy.

Other than as described above, we will not use your personal information nor release it to any other party without your permission, unless we believe it is necessary to share information in order to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, or as otherwise required by law.
