Privacy Policy

Introduction

Frank Xu for Palomar College Board Trustee 2026(“the Campaign,” “we,” “us”) respects your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect through this website, how we use it, and the choices you have. It applies to this website and to electronic communications sent through it; it does not cover information collected offline or the practices of third-party services we link to.

Who We Are

This website is operated by Frank Xu for Palomar College Board Trustee 2026, a candidate-controlled committee registered with the California Fair Political Practices Commission (FPPC ID #1490632). For any privacy question or request, contact us at frank@frankxuforpalomar.org.

Information We Collect

When you use the contact form on this site, we collect the information you choose to provide: your name, email address, and the subject and content of your message. Providing this information is voluntary.

Donations are processed by a third-party payment platform. The Campaign does not receive or store your full payment card details through this website. California law requires campaign committees to collect and report certain contributor information (such as name, address, occupation, and employer) for contributions at or above reporting thresholds.

Like most websites, our hosting infrastructure may automatically log technical information such as IP address, browser type, and pages visited. We use this information to operate and secure the site.

How We Use Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Respond to your messages and inquiries;
• Send campaign updates and communications you have requested;
• Operate, secure, and improve this website;
• Comply with campaign finance and other legal obligations.

You may opt out of campaign communications at any time by contacting us or using the unsubscribe method included in the communication.

Information We Share

We do not sell your personal information. We may share information with service providers who help us operate the site and the Campaign (such as email and payment vendors) under obligations to protect it; when required by law — including contributor disclosures mandated by California campaign finance law; to protect the rights, safety, or property of the Campaign or others; or to enforce our terms.

Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards to protect your information. No transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed completely secure, and we cannot warrant absolute security. Where required by law, we will notify you of a data breach affecting your information.

Data Retention

We keep personal information only as long as needed for the purposes described above or as required by law, including campaign record-keeping requirements, and then delete or anonymize it.

Third-Party Websites and Services

This site links to third-party services, including our donation processing platform. We do not control and are not responsible for their privacy practices. Please review the privacy policies of any third-party service you use.

Children’s Privacy

This website is not directed to children under thirteen, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has provided us personal information, contact us at frank@frankxuforpalomar.org and we will delete it.

Your Rights

Subject to applicable law, you may request access to, correction of, or deletion of the personal information we hold about you, and you may withdraw consent to communications at any time. We may need to verify your identity before acting on a request, and certain information may be exempt from deletion where the law requires us to keep it. We aim to respond within thirty days.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Updates will be posted on this page with a revised date, and your continued use of the site after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
