8. Political and Campaign-Related Information
Because this Website is operated by a political campaign, information you voluntarily provide may be associated with your interaction with the campaign.
We may use information you provide for lawful political, civic, campaign, communications, volunteer, event, fundraising, outreach, organizational, and administrative purposes.
We may also combine information you provide through the Website with information obtained from other lawful sources when appropriate for campaign or organizational purposes.
Information associated with political activity may be subject to additional legal requirements, including campaign-finance reporting and recordkeeping requirements.
9. Campaign Contributions
If the Website provides a link to a third-party donation or payment service, contributions may be processed directly by that third-party provider.
When you make a contribution, the third-party provider may collect information necessary to process the transaction.
The Committee may receive information necessary to process, document, acknowledge, report, or administer a contribution as permitted or required by applicable law.
Political contributions may be subject to federal, state, or local campaign-finance laws and reporting requirements. Information required to be reported under applicable law may become publicly available.
The privacy and security practices of a third-party donation or payment provider are governed by that provider’s own policies and terms.
10. Third-Party Websites and Services
The Website may contain links to third-party websites, social-media platforms, donation services, or other online services.
Third-party websites and services are operated independently from the Committee and may have their own privacy policies and terms.
When you leave the Website or provide information directly to a third party, that third party’s privacy policy—not this Privacy Policy—will govern its collection and use of your information.
We are not responsible for the privacy, security, content, or practices of third-party websites or services.
11. Legal and Regulatory Disclosures
We may collect, use, retain, or disclose personal information when reasonably necessary to:
Comply with applicable laws and regulations;

Respond to lawful requests from governmental authorities;
Protect the rights, property, or safety of the Committee or others;

Establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.
Information that we are legally required to disclose may be provided to governmental authorities or otherwise become publicly available.
12. Data Retention
We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.
The length of time information is retained may depend on:
The purpose for which the information was collected;
Campaign and organizational needs;
Applicable legal and regulatory requirements;
Campaign-finance recordkeeping requirements;
Accounting requirements;
Security considerations;
Dispute resolution; and
Other legitimate operational or legal purposes.
We may retain information after a particular interaction has ended when retention is required or reasonably necessary for legal, regulatory, accounting, security, archival, or recordkeeping purposes.
13. Data Security
We take reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, use, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.
However, no website, electronic transmission, database, or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Accordingly, we cannot guarantee the absolute security of information transmitted to or stored by us.
You should use reasonable caution when submitting personal information over the Internet.
14. Children’s Privacy
The Website is not directed toward children under the age of 13.
We do not knowingly request or intentionally collect personal information from children under 13 through the Website.
If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under 13 without appropriate authorization, we will take reasonable steps to delete that information, subject to applicable legal and recordkeeping requirements.
15. Your Privacy Rights
Depending on where you live and which privacy laws apply to you, you may have certain rights concerning your personal information.
Depending on applicable law, these rights may include:
The right to know what personal information is collected about you;
The right to request access to personal information;
The right to request correction of inaccurate information;
The right to request deletion of personal information;
The right to request information concerning how personal information is used or disclosed;
The right to opt out of certain forms of data processing where applicable;
The right to receive personal information in a portable format where required by law; and
The right not to receive discriminatory treatment for exercising applicable privacy rights.
These rights are subject to applicable legal exceptions and limitations.
For example, information that the Committee is required to retain for campaign-finance, legal, regulatory, security, accounting, or other lawful purposes may not be eligible for deletion.
How to Submit a Privacy Request
To submit a privacy-related request, contact:
Committee to Elect Ashley McKnight
PO Box 1014
Long Beach, MS 39560
Email: info@ashleymcknight.com
Please describe your request clearly and provide sufficient information for us to understand and evaluate it.
We may request information necessary to verify your identity before completing certain requests.
We will respond to qualifying requests within the period required by applicable law.
If applicable law gives you the right to appeal a decision regarding a privacy request, we will provide information about how to exercise that right.
16. Communications Preferences
If you receive campaign communications by email, you may request to stop receiving non-required communications by using the applicable unsubscribe instructions or contacting us at info@ashleymcknight.com.
Opting out of campaign communications does not necessarily require us to delete information that we are required or permitted to retain for legal, campaign-finance, security, accounting, or recordkeeping purposes.
If you have separately provided your information to another organization, political committee, platform, or service provider, you may need to contact that organization directly to change your communication preferences with it.
17. Do Not Track
The Website does not currently make specific representations regarding browser-based “Do Not Track” signals.
Because there is not a universally accepted technical standard for responding to such signals, the Website may not respond to every browser-based Do Not Track setting.
Where applicable law requires recognition of a particular privacy preference signal or opt-out mechanism, we will comply with requirements applicable to us.
18. Geographic Scope
The Website is operated in the United States and is primarily intended for individuals in the United States.
Privacy rights and obligations may differ depending on your state or jurisdiction.
Nothing in this Privacy Policy is intended to waive or limit any privacy right that cannot legally be waived or limited.
Where a particular privacy law applies to the Committee, this Privacy Policy is intended to provide the disclosures required by that law, subject to applicable exemptions, exceptions, thresholds, and limitations.
19. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in:
Our privacy practices;
Website functionality;
Technology;
Campaign activities;
Applicable laws or regulations; or
Other circumstances affecting our privacy practices.
When we make changes, we will update the Effective Date at the beginning of this Privacy Policy.
The updated Privacy Policy will become effective when posted to the Website unless otherwise stated.
Your continued use of the Website after an updated Privacy Policy becomes effective constitutes acknowledgment of the updated policy to the extent permitted by applicable law.
