Privacy Policy

Last Updated: 2023-10-24

This Privacy Policy explains how the Sait Committee (the “Campaign”, “we” or “us”) collects, uses, and discloses information about you when you access or use our services.

We may change this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make changes, we will notify you by revising the date at the top of the policy and, in some cases, we may provide you with additional notice (such as adding a statement to our website homepage or sending you a notification). We encourage you to review the Privacy Policy whenever you access the Site or otherwise interact with us to stay informed about our information practices and the choices available to you.

In addition to this privacy policy, the privacy policies of relevant digital services and platforms which the Campaign leverages may be relevant to you. For example:

Collection of Information

Information You Provide To Us

We collect information you provide directly to us. For example, we collect information when you sign up to receive updates, request information, fill out a form, sign a petition, sign up as a volunteer, sign up for an event, create an account, participate in a contest or promotion, make a donation or purchase, communicate with us via third party social media sites, request support, send us an email, or otherwise communicate with us.

The types of information we may collect include your name, email address, postal address, phone number, credit card and other payment information (although payment information is generally collected directly by a third-party processor), and any other information you choose to provide.

In addition, relevant election commissions may legally require us to collect certain personal information from donors.
