Last updated: May 17, 2026
This website is operated by the campaign committee Andrew Lawson for State Assembly District 79 2026, FPPC ID #1480952. Our campaign is committed to protecting the privacy of all visitors to this website and any individuals who interact with our campaign.
We may collect the following types of information when you interact with our website or campaign:
Information you provide directly: When you fill out a contact form, sign up for email updates, make a contribution, or volunteer, we may collect your name, email address, phone number, mailing address, occupation, and employer (as required by California campaign finance law for contributions of $100 or more).
Automatically collected information: When you visit our website, we may automatically collect technical information such as your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URL, and pages viewed. This information is used to understand how visitors use our site and to improve the user experience.
Cookies: Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to enhance your browsing experience. You can adjust your browser settings to refuse cookies, though this may limit some site functionality.
We use the information we collect to respond to your inquiries and requests, send campaign updates and news (if you have opted in), process and acknowledge contributions, coordinate volunteer activities, comply with California campaign finance disclosure requirements, and improve our website and campaign communications.
Under California law (the Political Reform Act) and regulations of the Fair Political Practices Commission (FPPC), our campaign committee is required to publicly report certain contributor information, including the name, address, occupation, and employer of individuals whose cumulative contributions total $100 or more during an election cycle. This information is filed with the California Secretary of State and is publicly available through the CAL-ACCESS database. This disclosure is required by law and is not optional.
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties. We may share your information with trusted service providers who assist with campaign operations (such as email platforms, payment processors, and website hosting), but only to the extent necessary to perform those services. We may also disclose information when required by law or to comply with campaign finance reporting requirements.
We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Our website may contain links to third-party websites, including social media platforms, donation processors (Anedot), and government resources. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these external sites and encourage you to review their privacy policies independently.
California residents have certain rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), including the right to know what personal information we collect, the right to request deletion of your personal information, and the right to opt out of the sale of personal information (we do not sell personal information). To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the information below.
If you have subscribed to our campaign email list, you may unsubscribe at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link at the bottom of any email or by contacting us directly.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
