In addition to the information collected by standard website functions (such as IP addresses and cookies), we collect the following types of personal information when you engage with the Campaign:
Financial & Donation Data (FEC Compliant): When you make a contribution, we collect your name, email address, postal address, phone number, occupation, and employer.
Voluntary Contact Data: When you sign up for email updates or contact us via a form, we collect your name and email address.
Live Chat Data: When you use the live chat feature on our website, we may collect your name and email address to follow up on your questions or inquiries, even if you are offline.
Data Processors: This data is handled by our third-party donation processors, GiveWP, Square, and PayPal, our contact form provider, Forminator, and our Live Chat provider, Tawk.to.
The personal information we collect is used solely for the purposes of the Benjamin Cobb for President 2028 Campaign and its affiliated committee.
FEC Reporting: Due to federal campaign finance law, we are required to collect and publicly disclose your name, address, occupation, and employer if your total contributions aggregate over $200 in a calendar year. This information is public record and viewable on the FEC website.
Campaign Communication: We use your information to send you email updates, event invitations, and other campaign solicitations.
Non-Commercial Use: We do not sell or rent your personal information to any third party for commercial marketing purposes.
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical security measures to protect the information we collect. However, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.

When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection. An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.
If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year. If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser. When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed. If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website. These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue. For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
