Privacy Policy

The short version

• We only collect what we need to count your pledge.
• Email is optional, and we only use it for what you tick.
• No tracking cookies, no ads, and we never sell your information.
• You can unsubscribe and have your email deleted any time.

What we collect when you pledge

• Your first name and state. Your state goes into the public count. Your name is never shown anywhere on the site.
• Your email address, only if you give it to us.
• Which boxes you ticked: campaign updates, the merch email, both, or neither.
• A scrambled code based on your internet connection. This stops one person from pledging hundreds of times. It can’t be turned back into anything that identifies you, it changes every day, and we delete it after two days.

How we use your email

If you ticked campaign updates, we’ll send you campaign news now and then. If you ticked the merch box, we’ll email you when merch is ready. We won’t ask you for money, and we won’t sign you up for anything you didn’t tick.

Every email has an unsubscribe link. It stops all our emails and deletes your address. Your pledge still counts toward your state.

Cookies and visitor counts

We don’t use tracking cookies. To see how many people visit, we use Cloudflare Web Analytics, which doesn’t use cookies and doesn’t follow you to other sites.

We also keep a rough count of visits by state, based on the general location of your internet connection, so we can see where interest is coming from. It’s stored only as daily totals per state. It isn’t linked to you, your pledge, or anything else about you.

Keeping out bots

The pledge form uses Cloudflare Turnstile to check that you’re a person and not a bot. Most of the time you won’t have to do anything. It only runs on the pledge page, and Cloudflare’s privacy notice explains what it looks at.

Where your information is kept

Pledges are stored with Cloudflare, the company that runs this website for us. We don’t sell, rent, trade, or share your information with anyone else, and we never use it for ads.

How long we keep it

We keep pledges until the 2028 election is over. After that we delete names and email addresses and keep only the number of pledges from each state.

Want your pledge deleted sooner? Email privacy@squatch2028.com and tell us the email address you pledged with.

Kids

This site isn’t meant for children under 13, and we don’t knowingly collect their information. If a child pledged with an email address, let us know and we’ll delete it.

If this policy changes

We’ll update the date at the top of this page. If you’ve given us your email, we’ll also let you know.
