1. How We Use Information You Provide
We collect a variety of personal information, such as a name, address, telephone number, credit card information, bank account information, email address and/or IM address, or other information about those who register or volunteer on our site, make contributions through our site or use other functions or features on the site. We may obtain information about you from outside sources and add it to or combine it with the information we collect through this site. We use this information to operate this site, support the Future PAC, send you news and information about Future PAC, and to credit those who are organizing support for Future PAC. We will not sell this information to any third party, under any circumstances, and will not provide your name or e-mail address to any entity for commercial purposes. We do work closely with candidates, parties and allied like-minded non-profit organizations and may disclose your name and e-mail address to such campaigns or organizations for their use in campaign and advocacy activities and other purposes.
Online Contributions
We are sometimes required to disclose information regarding our contributions to comply with campaign finance laws. For example, under Federal Election law, we are required to make periodic filings that provide the Federal Election Commission with information on each contributor: name, address, amount of contribution, date of contribution, employer, and occupation. For more information on the FEC, visit their website. To make a contribution online, we also ask for your credit card number and its expiration date.
Contributions to the Women Building for the Future PAC are not deductible for federal income tax purposes. Federal law requires us to use our best efforts to collect and report the name, mailing address, occupation and employer of individuals whose contributions exceed $200 in a calendar year. Contributions will be used in connection with the federal elections and are subject to the limitations and prohibitions of the Federal Election Campaign Act including the prohibition on corporate and labor organization contributions. Under California law, union and corporate contributions are permissible and will be used in connection with non-federal elections. An individual or unincorporated business, including partnership, may contribute up to $5,000 in a calendar year to the federal account. Spouses may each contribute up to the limit. All Federally permissible funds will be placed in Women Building for the Future -- The Future PAC /Federal account unless otherwise stated. All corporate and state PAC funds will be placed in the Women Building for the Future -- The Future PAC/State account.
