Privacy Policy

Your privacy matters to us. This policy explains what information Ahsen for Virginia (“the campaign,” “we,” “us”) collects when you visit this website or interact with our communications, including text messages, and how that information is used, shared, and protected.

What We Collect

Depending on how you interact with us, we may collect:

  • Contact details you give us directly including name, email, phone number, mailing address
  • Donation records, including amounts and related payment information processed through our third-party payment processor (we never store full card numbers on our own systems)
  • Your subscription status for text updates, including opt-in and opt-out history
  • Standard website analytics such as pages viewed, browser and device information, IP address, and similar data gathered through cookies or comparable tools
  • Information volunteers share with us, such as availability and areas where they’d like to help

What We Do With Your Information

Information we collect helps us:

  • Keep you updated on campaign events, news, and requests for support
  • Process contributions and meet our recordkeeping obligations under federal and Virginia campaign finance law
  • Run our SMS/MMS program for supporters who opt in
  • Answer questions you send us
  • Meet legal and regulatory obligations, including reporting to the FEC
  • Potentially stay in touch with supporters about Ahsen Malik’s future public service, even after this campaign has ended

Sharing of Information

We don’t sell your information, full stop. We may share information with vendors assisting us in functions such as processing donations, operating our site, and delivering communications subject to the appropriate confidentiality agreements. We’ll also disclose information if we’re legally compelled to, such as by subpoena or FEC requirement.

Your text-messaging opt-in and consent records are never shared with anyone outside the campaign for marketing purposes.

Cookies

This site may use cookies and similar tools to see how it’s being used and to make it work better for visitors. Your browser settings let you block or clear cookies at any time. However, doing so may affect how parts of the site function.

How Long We Keep Information

We hold onto personal information for as long as it serves the purposes above, including staying in touch with supporters beyond this campaign cycle, and for as long as FEC recordkeeping rules require, which can extend past Election Day.

Keeping Your Data Safe

We take reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your information from unauthorized access or disclosure. However, as no method of electronic communication is 100% secure, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Your Options for Removal

  • Emails: Every mass email includes an unsubscribe link.
  • Texts: Reply STOP to opt out of any text program, or HELP if you need assistance.
  • Access and/or Removal: Email us at info@ahsenmalik.com to request access to, or deletion of your personal information.
