Privacy and data handling for campaign teams.

California privacy rights (CCPA / CPRA)

California residents have rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act and the California Privacy Rights Act, including the right to know what personal information CA Voter has about you, the right to request deletion, the right to correct inaccurate information, the right to opt out of sale or sharing of personal information, and the right not to be discriminated against for exercising these rights.

CA Voter does not sell personal information and does not share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.

To submit a privacy rights request — including a CCPA / CPRA right-to-know, right-to-delete, or right-to-correct — email hello@cavoter.io with the subject line "Privacy rights request". Include the right you are exercising and enough detail to verify the request (typically the email address or other identifier you would have used to interact with the service). We respond within 45 days as required by the CPRA and will explain any extension or denial in writing.

If your request relates to California voter-registration data we hold under a permitted-use access (e.g. campaign work), please mention the source so we can route it appropriately. Voter-registration records sourced from the California Secretary of State are subject to permitted-use rules and may be governed by separate processes.

• Right to know what personal information we collect, use, disclose, and sell or share
• Right to delete personal information we collected from you
• Right to correct inaccurate personal information
• Right to opt out of sale or sharing — we do not sell or share for advertising
• Right not to be discriminated against for exercising your rights
• Authorized agents may submit requests on your behalf with proof of authorization

Access-request information

When someone requests access, we collect the name, email, role, and campaign or race information they submit. We use that information to verify the request, follow up, and decide whether the beta is a fit.

We do not sell access-request submissions. We use them to operate the beta and communicate about CA Voter.

We keep access-request and onboarding information only as long as needed for beta qualification, follow-up, product operations, and necessary operational records. Campaign contacts can request removal through CA Voter contact channels.

Campaign and voter data

CA Voter is designed so qualified users bring voter data they are permitted to use. Access is gated because voter registration information is sensitive and subject to legal restrictions.

Private beta handling may include file loading, segmentation, analysis, export, and support work needed to provide the product. The product is not intended for unrelated commercial marketing, resale, or publishing protected voter information.

Analytics

We use Vercel Web Analytics and Speed Insights to understand page traffic, access-request conversion, and Core Web Vitals performance. These tools help us improve the public site and product experience.

SMS and text messaging

When a voter, volunteer, or campaign user opts in to text messages through cavoter.io or a campaign-specific signup flow, we collect the phone number they provide along with the consent record (timestamp, source URL, and the consent text shown).

We do not share or sell SMS opt-in data, mobile phone numbers, or consent records to third parties for marketing purposes. Phone numbers and consent records are used only to send the messages the user opted in to receive, to honor STOP and HELP requests, and to keep records required by carrier and platform rules.

Message frequency varies by campaign and election cycle. Most subscribers receive 2 to 4 messages per week, with higher volume in the final two weeks before an election. Message and data rates may apply per the recipient's mobile carrier plan.

Recipients can opt out at any time by replying STOP to any message, which immediately removes the number from the sending list and stops future sends. Replying HELP returns instructions for getting in touch and confirms the messaging program the number is subscribed to.
