Effective Date: August 27, 2026

This privacy notice explains how Charis Bowman ("we," "our") collects, uses, and protects your information on this local campaign website for Blue Lake, California. Because this is an individual grassroots campaign without a registered campaign committee, Charis Bowman acts as the sole manager of any data collected.

Information We Collect

• Voluntary Information: We collect your name, email address, or other contact details only when you choose to fill out a contact form or sign up to volunteer. We do not use marketing emails, newsletter subscriptions, or text alerts.
• Website Analytics: We use IONOS WebAnalytics to understand how visitors interact with our site. This tool determines traffic data entirely through server log files. It does not use tracking cookies, does not store personal data of visitors, and anonymizes IP addresses immediately upon collection to protect your privacy.

How We Use Your Information

• To analyze website traffic trends and improve our online presence.
• To coordinate volunteer opportunities and local campaign events.
• To respond directly to your specific questions, comments, or feedback.

Sharing and Protection

• No Committee Sharing: We do not share, sell, rent, or trade your personal information with third-party political committees, organizations, or commercial entities.
• Third-Party Services: Website data is securely hosted by IONOS. They are strictly bound to protect your data and are prohibited from using it for any other purpose.
• Security: We use standard website encryption (SSL) provided via IONOS to protect your data from unauthorized access.

Your Choices and Rights

Because IONOS WebAnalytics does not use tracking cookies or collect personal information, there is no web tracking to opt out of. If you have previously submitted your information via a contact or volunteer form and want it permanently deleted from our records, simply email us your request.
