This Privacy Policy explains how Protect Our Rights (the “Campaign”, “we” or “us”) collects, uses, and discloses information about you when you access or use our websites, and mobile sites that link to this Privacy Policy (collectively, the “Site”).

We may change this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make changes, we will notify you by revising the date at the top of the policy and, in some cases, we may provide you with additional notice (such as adding a statement to our website homepage or sending you a notification). We encourage you to review the Privacy Policy whenever you access the Site or otherwise interact with us to stay informed about our information practices and the choices available to you.

COLLECTION OF INFORMATION

We collect information you provide directly to us.

The types of information we may collect include your name, contact information (such as email address, postal address, and phone number), credit card and other payment information, resume information, and any other information you choose to provide.

In addition, the Federal Election Commission (FEC) may require us to collect certain personal information from donors. For example, the FEC requires us to collect (and disclose to them) the name, mailing address, occupation, and employer of all individuals whose donations to the Campaign exceed $200 per election cycle.
