1. Privacy Policy

Jacob Kyser for West Manatee Fire Rescue District Commission ("the campaign," "we," "us," or "our") respects your privacy. This policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information provided through our website, signup forms, and campaign communications.

Information We Collect

We collect information you voluntarily provide, including your name, email address, telephone number, volunteer interests, and information included in messages or signup forms.

If you contribute to the campaign, we may receive contribution details and information needed for applicable campaign-finance reporting.

Our website service providers may also process basic technical information, such as your IP address, browser type, and access logs, to operate and secure the website.

How We Use Information

We use information to respond to inquiries, coordinate volunteers and events, communicate about the campaign, manage communication preferences, maintain records, and meet applicable reporting and legal obligations.

Providing a telephone number, making a donation, registering for an event, or signing up to volunteer does not by itself constitute consent to recurring text messages. SMS enrollment requires separate, express consent.

How We Share Information

We do not sell or rent your personal information.

We may provide information to service providers that help operate our website, administer campaign activities, process contributions, or deliver communications. These providers may use the information only as necessary to perform services for the campaign.

We may also disclose information when required by law, including applicable campaign-finance reporting requirements. Text messaging opt-in data and consent are subject to the specific disclosure below.

Text Messaging Opt-In Data and Consent

We will not share text messaging originator opt-in data and consent, provided that the foregoing does not apply to sharing (1) with vendors, consultants and other service providers who need access to such information to carry out work on our behalf (and who will not use such information for their own purposes); (2) if we believe disclosure is required by any applicable law, rule, or regulation or to comply with law enforcement or legal process; and (3) if the user consents to our sharing of such information.

Retention and Security

We retain information only as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, applicable recordkeeping obligations, and honoring communication preferences. We may retain limited suppression records after an opt-out to prevent further unwanted messages.

We take reasonable administrative and technical measures to protect information. No method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure.

Your Choices

You may contact [email protected] to request access to, correction of, or deletion of information you provided. Some information may need to be retained for legal, reporting, or opt-out purposes.

You may unsubscribe from campaign emails using the available unsubscribe instructions. Instructions for opting out of text messages appear below.

External websites and services linked from our website have their own privacy practices.

2. SMS Terms of Service

Program Description

The Jacob Kyser for West Manatee Fire Rescue District Commission text messaging program may include campaign updates, event information, volunteer opportunities, election reminders, and requests for donation.

Consent and Enrollment

Enrollment requires your express consent through a signup method that clearly identifies the campaign and describes the messaging program.

Where a signup or contact form includes an SMS consent checkbox, that checkbox is optional and unchecked by default. Providing a phone number without selecting the SMS consent checkbox does not enroll you in the text messaging program.

By expressly opting in, you consent to receive recurring campaign text messages at the number you provide, including messages sent using automated technology. You must be authorized to provide consent for that number.

Consent is voluntary and is not a condition of donating, purchasing, volunteering, attending an event, or submitting a general inquiry. Visiting our website or appearing in a voter file does not enroll you in this program.

Message Frequency and Charges

Message frequency may vary based on campaign activities and your interactions with us.

Message and data rates may apply according to your wireless plan. Contact your wireless provider with questions about charges.

Opting Out

Reply STOP to any campaign text message to unsubscribe.

You may receive one final message confirming your opt-out. After that confirmation, no further campaign text messages will be sent unless you provide new consent.

We also honor other clear requests to stop receiving messages. You may contact [email protected] for assistance with unsubscribing.

Help

Reply HELP for assistance or email [email protected].

SMS Privacy

The Privacy Policy above, including the "Text Messaging Opt-In Data and Consent" disclosure, applies to this program.

We use your mobile number, consent information, and messaging records to operate the program and manage your communication preferences.

Message Delivery

Delivery depends on your wireless provider and network availability. Delivery is not guaranteed. Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages.

3. Policy Updates and Contact

We may update these policies by posting revised text and an updated effective date on this page. Policy changes do not expand your SMS consent; we will obtain new consent where required.
