Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

DumpTheRinos ("we", "us", "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our website and services at DumpTheRinos.com.

2. Information We Collect

Account Information: When you register, we collect your username, email address, and password (stored as a secure hash). You may optionally provide your home congressional district.

Location Data: With your explicit consent, we use browser geolocation to detect your congressional district. Location data is used only for district lookup and is not stored on our servers unless you opt in.

Usage Data: We collect standard server logs including IP addresses, browser type, and pages visited to maintain and improve the Service.

Payment Information: Payment processing is handled entirely by Stripe. We do not store credit card numbers or bank account details on our servers.

3. How We Use Your Information

• To provide and maintain the Service
• To identify your congressional district and display relevant representative information
• To manage posse memberships and event participation
• To process subscription payments
• To send service-related emails (account verification, password resets, event notifications)
• To detect and prevent abuse or unauthorized access

4. Dual Email System

DumpTheRinos uses a privacy-preserving dual email system. Your primary email is used for account authentication and critical service communications. You may configure a separate contact email for posse-related communications, keeping your primary email private.

5. Information Sharing

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. We may share information only in the following circumstances:

• With your consent: When you choose to share contact information with posse members
• Service providers: With trusted third parties who assist in operating the Service (Stripe for payments, Supabase for data storage, Vercel for hosting)
• Legal requirements: When required by law or to protect our rights

6. Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures including encrypted connections (HTTPS/TLS), secure password hashing, row-level security on database tables, and rate limiting on API endpoints. However, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure.

7. Your Rights

You have the right to:

• Access: View your personal data through your account settings
• Export: Request a copy of your data via the Privacy settings page
• Correction: Update your information at any time
• Deletion: Request account deletion through the Privacy settings page
• Withdraw consent: Revoke location consent or communication preferences at any time

8. Cookies and Local Storage

We use essential cookies for authentication sessions. We use browser localStorage to remember your selected congressional district for convenience. We do not use third-party tracking cookies or advertising pixels.

9. Children's Privacy

The Service is not intended for users under 18 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify registered users of material changes via email. Your continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
