Privacy Policy
How John Stuart for City Council collects, uses, protects, and honors your communication choices.
Information we collect
John Stuart for City Council may collect information you provide through this website or directly to the campaign, including your name, email address, phone number, mailing or street address, ZIP code, form responses, questions, volunteer interests, event interests, newsletter preferences, and SMS consent choice.
Cookies and technical information
The website and its service providers may use essential cookies or similar technologies needed for security, form operation, and basic site functionality. When you visit, servers may automatically record technical information such as your IP address, browser type, device type, referring page, and access times. The campaign does not use this information to sell personal data or SMS consent records. Any future analytics or tracking practices will be disclosed in this policy.
How we use information
We use information to operate the campaign, respond to requests and questions, coordinate volunteers and yard-sign delivery, share event information, send newsletters and campaign communications, provide administrative notifications, protect the website from abuse, and improve the usefulness of our communications.
We send campaign text messages only when a person separately chooses to receive them. Consent to text messages is not a condition of supporting the campaign, volunteering, making a contribution, or submitting a website form.
SMS information and consent
Phone numbers and SMS consent records will not be sold, rented, or shared with third parties or affiliates for their own marketing or promotional purposes.
No mobile information will be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. Information may be shared with subcontractors and service providers only as needed to support campaign communications, such as messaging delivery or customer service, and subject to confidentiality obligations. Text messaging originator opt-in data and consent will not be shared with any other third parties.
SMS recipients may reply STOP to opt out or HELP for assistance. Message frequency varies, and message and data rates may apply.
Service providers
We may use service providers to host the website, process form submissions, manage campaign contacts, deliver email or text communications, analyze site traffic, and maintain security. They may access information only as needed to provide those services and are expected to protect it under appropriate confidentiality obligations.
Data security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure. Access is limited to campaign personnel and service providers who need the information for authorized campaign purposes. Our service providers are expected to maintain appropriate security and confidentiality protections. No internet transmission or storage system is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Your choices and requests
You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information held by the campaign. Email john@stuartforcitycouncil.com with your request. We may need to verify your identity and may retain information when required for legal, campaign-finance, security, or recordkeeping purposes.
Policy updates
This policy may be updated as campaign practices or legal requirements change. The effective date above will be revised when an update is published.
