What we collect
The Burbank Republican Party operates a small website. We collect the minimum information needed to do two things: respond to people who email us, and send a voter guide by text when one person chooses to share it with another.
Email contact
If you email us at the address shown on the contact section of our site, we receive your message and reply address. We use it only to respond to you.
Sharing the voter guide
When you use our share form to text the voter guide to a friend, we collect:
- Your name (shown in the SMS body)
- Your email address
- Your phone number
- The recipient's phone number
- Your optional short note
- Your IP address (for spam protection)
How we store it
Phone numbers and email addresses are encrypted at rest. We keep deterministic hashes alongside the encrypted values so that we can enforce rate limits and our do-not-text list without storing the values in the clear in our indexes.
Analytics
We use Google Analytics to understand broad traffic patterns such as page views, approximate geography, device types, and referral sources. Google may set cookies or collect similar usage data in connection with that service.
Who we share it with
Our SMS partner, ClickSend, processes the message-send to deliver text messages to the recipient phone. ClickSend has its own privacy practices.
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We do not share it with political campaigns, advertisers, or any other third party other than as described here, except when required by law.
Retention
We keep share records for ninety days for spam-investigation and accountability purposes, then delete them. Suppression-list entries (people who have replied Stop) are kept indefinitely so we never text them again.
Your rights (California)
If you are a California resident, you have rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act, including the right to know what personal information we hold about you, the right to delete it, and the right not to be discriminated against for exercising your rights. Contact us by email to make a request.
Children
This site is not directed at children under thirteen and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.
