Privacy Policy

Effective Date: December 12, 2025

1. Introduction

Welcome to PayForDelay.org (the “Website”), operated by PayForDelay.org Campaign.

We are committed to protecting your privacy and the security of the information you provide to us. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our Website, including when you sign a petition, subscribe to updates, or otherwise engage with our campaign activities.

By accessing or using the Website, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy.

2. Information We Collect

We collect two main types of information:

A. Information You Provide Directly

This information is collected when you actively interact with our campaign features, such as when you sign our petition or contact us.

  • Petition Data: Your name, email address, country, and potentially your city/state/province. This information is required for the validity, verification, and demographic analysis of the petition and campaign support.
  • Contact Information: Your name, email address, and any message content when you contact us via email or a contact form.
  • Subscription Data: Your email address when you sign up for email updates or newsletters.
  • Donation Data (If Applicable): While we use secure third-party payment processors for transactions, we may collect your name, billing address, and transaction details for record-keeping purposes.

B. Information Collected Automatically

When you access the Website, we automatically collect certain information about your device and usage:

  • Usage Data: Information about how you use the Website, such as the pages you view, the time and duration of your visit, and the links you click.
  • Technical Data: Your IP address, browser type, operating system, device identifiers, and referring website addresses.
  • Cookies and Tracking: We use cookies and similar tracking technologies (like Google Analytics) to track activity on our Website and improve functionality. You may choose to disable cookies in your browser settings.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the collected information for the following primary purposes:

  • Campaign Fulfillment: To register your signature on the petition, accurately tally total supporters, and demonstrate broad advocacy support.
  • Communication: To send you updates about the campaign, legislative developments, and calls to action via email (you may unsubscribe at any time).
  • Site Operation & Improvement: To maintain, monitor, and analyze usage trends to improve Website functionality and user experience.
  • Security & Compliance: To detect, prevent, and address technical issues or fraudulent activity, and to comply with legal obligations.

4. Disclosure and Sharing of Your Information

We may disclose your personal information in the following situations:

  • Service Providers: We may share your data with third-party vendors who assist with email distribution, analytics, hosting, or similar services. They are required to safeguard your information.
  • Campaign Transparency and Advocacy: Because the petition serves a public advocacy purpose, we may share aggregate supporter data (e.g., “12,894 signatures reached”) and, in some cases, your name and general location (city/state/country) with policymakers or the public to demonstrate support. We do not publicly share your email address.
  • Legal Compliance: We may disclose your information if required by law or necessary to protect our rights, property, or public safety.

5. Data Security and Retention

We use administrative, technical, and physical security measures to help protect your information. However, no method of transmission or electronic storage is 100% secure. We retain your information only as long as needed for the purposes described or to meet legal or reporting requirements.

6. Your Data Protection Rights

Depending on your location (such as the EU/EEA, UK, or applicable U.S. states), you may have certain rights:

  • Right to Access: Request a copy of your personal data.
  • Right to Rectification: Request correction of inaccurate information.
  • Right to Erasure: Request deletion of your personal data under applicable conditions.
  • Right to Object / Opt-Out: Object to data processing or unsubscribe from emails at any time via the “unsubscribe” link.
