Privacy Policy
Effective Date: August 27, 2026
Brad Holsclaw for Kentucky Secretary of State (The Campaign) respects the privacy of individuals who visit our website, communicate with our campaign, or choose to support our efforts. This Privacy Policy explains what information we may collect and how that information may be used.
Information We Collect
Information may be collected when you voluntarily interact with the Campaign through our website or other campaign communications. This may include your name, email address, telephone number, mailing address, and other information you choose to provide.
For example, we may collect information when you:
* Sign up to receive campaign news and updates,
* Contact the Campaign,
* Volunteer or express interest in participating in campaign activities,
* Register for a campaign event, or
* Make a contribution.
When you make a contribution through our website, payment and related financial information may be collected and processed through Squarespace and its applicable payment-processing services. The handling of that information may also be subject to the privacy policies of the companies involved in processing the transaction.
Our website may also collect certain technical information automatically, including your IP address, browser or device information, pages visited, and general information about how visitors use the website.
Information Use
The Campaign may use information you provide for campaign-related purposes, including to:
* Send campaign news, updates, and announcements;
* Respond to inquiries and requests;
* Communicate about campaign events and volunteer opportunities;
* Coordinate campaign activities;
* Process and administer contributions;
* Maintain and improve our website and online services; and
* Fulfill legal, regulatory, and campaign-finance obligations.
The Campaign does not sell or rent your personal information.
Information Shared With Service Providers
Running a campaign website requires the use of certain outside services. We may provide information to companies that assist the Campaign with website hosting, contribution processing, communications, event registration, analytics, security, and other campaign-related functions.
These service providers receive information only as reasonably necessary to provide services for the Campaign or as otherwise permitted by law.
We may also disclose information when we believe disclosure is necessary to comply with applicable law, legal process, governmental requirements, or campaign-finance reporting obligations.
Email Communications
If you provide your email address to the Campaign, you may receive campaign-related communications, including news, event information, volunteer opportunities, fundraising information, and other updates.
You may stop receiving non-essential campaign emails at any time by using the unsubscribe instructions provided in the email.
Text Messages
If the Campaign offers text-message communications and you voluntarily provide your mobile telephone number and consent to receive those messages, you may receive periodic campaign-related text messages.
Message frequency may vary. Message and data rates may apply.
You may opt out of campaign text messages at any time by replying STOP. For assistance, reply HELP.
Mobile telephone numbers and information collected through an SMS opt-in will not be sold or shared with third parties for their own advertising or promotional purposes.
Cookies and Website Technology
Our website uses cookies and similar technologies that help the site function properly and may provide information about website traffic and usage. Because the Campaign's website is operated through Squarespace, certain information may be collected and processed through Squarespace's website, analytics, security, and related technologies.
You may be able to control or restrict cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of portions of the website.
Links to Other Websites
Our website may contain links to other websites, including social media platforms and websites operated by organizations or services outside of the Campaign. Those websites have their own privacy practices and policies. The Campaign is not responsible for the privacy practices, security, or content of third-party websites.
Protecting Your Information
The Campaign takes reasonable steps to protect information provided to us. However, no website, electronic transmission, or method of storing information can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Changes to This Policy
We may revise this Privacy Policy as our website, campaign operations, or applicable requirements change. Any updates will be posted on this page, along with a revised effective date.
