Online Privacy Policy

The Yes on 87 campaign, Californians for Clean Energy and its affiliates are committed to protecting the privacy and security of our members and visitors to our Web site. Outlined below is our online privacy policy for personal information collected through this Web site and e-mail lists. If you have questions or concerns about these policies, we encourage you to contact us at info@yeson87.com.

Resale or disclosure of information to third parties

To deliver personalized content on our Web site and provide information about our activities, this website collects some information that can be directly associated with a specific person. We call this "personal information," and it includes names, addresses, telephone numbers and e-mail addresses.

It is our general policy not to make personal information available to anyone other than its employees or agents who need to know that information in the course of their duties.

We will use your e-mail address to send you important news and updates from the campaign. If you do not wish to receive these e-mails, at any time you may unsubscribe by following the link at the bottom of each message.

Privacy of our e-mail lists

For petitions and surveys you've signed or completed, we treat your name, city, state, and comments as public information - for example, we may provide compilations of petitions, with your comments, to Chevron, to the Governor and legislators, to other targets, or to the press.  We will not disclose your email address without your permission.

Our campaign maintains several e-mail lists to keep you informed about our activities, breaking news or important events. While we do coordinate our efforts with like-minded web sites on a strict opt-in basis, we do not share the e-mail addresses on our lists with outside organizations unless clearly announced at the time of signup. In these rare incidences, we will run co-membership programs along with partner organizations. Both organizations will be prominently displayed upon signup.

We configure our list server software to refuse to divulge the e-mail addresses of our list subscribers to anyone but authorized staff. However, we are not the authors of this software, and we are not responsible for any failures in the software to preserve subscribers' anonymity.

Children's privacy

Because we care about the safety and privacy of children online, we comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 (COPPA). COPPA and its accompanying FTC regulation establish United States federal law that protects the privacy of children using the Internet. We do not knowingly contact or collect personal information from children under 13. Our site is not intended to solicit information of any kind from children under 13, and we have designed our sites to block our knowing acceptance of information from children under 13 whenever age-related information is requested. We would remind parents that they have a duty to supervise the Internet activities of their children.

It is possible that by fraud or deception we may receive information pertaining to children under 13. If we are notified of this, as soon as we verify the information, we will immediately obtain parental consent or otherwise delete the information from our servers. If you want to notify us of our receipt of information by children under 13, please do so by contacting us at info@yeson87.com.

Security

Californians for Clean Energy maintains a variety of physical, electronic and procedural safeguards to protect your personal information. For example, we use commercially reasonable tools and techniques to protect against unauthorized access to our systems. Also, we restrict access to personal information to those employees and agents who need to know that information in the course of their duties. We work to protect the security of your personal information when transmitted via our site by using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software which encrypts information you input. In addition, we have appropriate security measures in place in our physical facilities to protect against the loss or misuse of information that we have collected from you at our site.

You should know that we have no control over the security of other sites on the Internet you might visit, interact with, or use to make financial transactions. Your own efforts to protect against unauthorized access play an important role in protecting the security of your personal information. You should be sure to sign off when finished using a shared computer, and always log out of any site when viewing personal information. Also, we may have links to other, outside web sites that we do not control. We are not responsible for the content or privacy policies of these sites.

Changes to this policy

Californians for Clean Energy will revise or update this policy if our practices change, or as we develop better ways to keep you informed about them. You should refer back to this page often for the latest information and the effective date of any changes. If we decide to change this policy, we will post a new policy on our site and change the date at the top. Changes to the policy shall not apply retroactively.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us at info@yeson87.com.
