How Information is Shared

Sharing within The Poll Hero Project

We may share your information and content within The Poll Hero Project to operate, improve, or promote the Services.

Service Providers

We may share your information with third parties who (a) administer elections and need your information to contact you about becoming a poll worker or (b) provide services to The Poll Hero Project such as supporting and improving the Services, promoting the Services, or fulfilling orders. These service providers will only have access to the information necessary to perform these limited functions on our behalf and are required to protect and secure your information. We may also use service providers to collect information about your use of the Services over time so that we or they may promote The Poll Hero Project or display information that may be relevant to your interests on the Services or other websites or services.

Affiliates and Acquirers of our Business or Assets

We may share your information with affiliates under common control with us, who are required to comply with the terms of this Privacy Policy with regard to your information. If The Poll Hero Project becomes involved in a business combination, securities offering, bankruptcy, reorganization, dissolution or other similar transaction, we may share or transfer your information in connection with such transaction.

Aggregated and De-Identified Information

The Poll Hero Project may modify, de-identify and aggregate the information, data, text, software, sound, photographs, graphics, video, messages, tags, or other materials you make available in connection with the Services (“Content”), in ways that do not personally identify you or contain personally identifiable information. Examples of such aggregated information or statistical data include information about equipment and usage and demographic information. The Poll Hero Project may use, sell, license, and share this information with third parties for research, business or other purposes. If you make information or content publicly available on the Services, such information, even when aggregated, is capable of being publicly viewed and possibly associated with you.

With Consent

We may share your information if (i) you direct us to do so or (ii) you otherwise consent to such sharing.

Legal Requirements

We may share your information with third parties, including law enforcement, public or governmental agencies, or private litigants, within or outside your country of residence, if we determine that disclosure is reasonably necessary to comply with the law, including to respond to court orders, warrants, subpoenas, or other legal or regulatory process. We may also disclose your information if we determine that disclosure is reasonably necessary or appropriate to prevent any person from death or serious bodily injury, to address issues of national security or other issues of public importance, to prevent or detect violations of our Terms of Service or fraud or abuse of The Poll Hero Project or its members, or to protect our operations or our property or other legal rights, including by disclosure to our legal counsel and other consultants and third parties in connection with actual or potential litigation.

DMCA Notices

We may share your information with third parties when we forward Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DCMA) notifications, which will be forwarded as submitted to us without any deletions.

Unforeseeable Disclosures

Your personally identifiable information may be disclosed to third parties in unforeseeable situations that are not preventable even when commercially reasonable protections are employed, such as in the case that The Poll Hero Project or the Services is subject to a hacking or other attack.

How We Protect Information

We take several measures to safeguard the collection, transmission and storage of the data we collect. These steps depend on the sensitivity of the data that we collect, process, and store. Although we strive to employ reasonable protections for your information that are appropriate to its sensitivity, we do not guarantee or warrant the security of the information you share with us and we are not responsible for Theft, destruction, loss or inadvertent disclosure of your information or content. No system is 100% secure. In some places, the Services uses industry standard Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology to allow for the encryption of personal information and credit card numbers.

To help ensure that these measures are effective in preventing unauthorized access to your private information, you should be aware of the security features available to you through your browser. You should use a security-enabled browser to submit your credit card information and other personal information at the Services. Please note that if you do not use a SSL-capable browser, you are at risk for having data intercepted.

Most browsers have the ability to notify you if you change between secure and insecure communications, receive invalid Services identification information for the Services you are communicating with, or send information over an unsecured connection. The Poll Hero Project recommends that you enable these browser functions to help ensure that your communications are secure. You can also monitor the URL of the Services you are visiting (secure URLs begin with https:// rather than http://), along with the security symbol of your browser to help identify when you are communicating with a secure server. You can also view the details of the security certificate of the Services to which you are connected. Please check the validity of any Services you connect to using secure communications.

How to Opt Out or Adjust Notification and Email Preferences

We offer various ways to opt-out or opt-into our notifications. To choose to stop receiving certain emails from The Poll Hero Project, please follow the unsubscribe instructions within each email communication or contact us at info@pollhero.org. The Poll Hero Project will not provide or share any mailing lists or other information about you to another company or service other than as set forth in this Privacy Policy. Any administrative or service related emails (to confirm a purchase, or an update to the Terms of Service, etc.) generally do not offer an option to unsubscribe as they are necessary to provide the service you requested.

Updating Account Information

You may correct, amend or delete submitted account information that is inaccurate, or request further assistance at any time by emailing info@pollhero.org. The Poll Hero Project will generally respond to your request within 7-10 business days.

Deleting Information and Deactivation of Accounts

You may request deletion of your personally identifiable information by contacting us at info@pollhero.org. Once deactivated, your account cannot be reinstated.

Other Sites

The Poll Hero Project may maintain certain websites that can be accessed outside of pollhero.org, such as a blog or otherwise (the “Other Sites”). The Other Sites maintain the look and feel of the Services, but are hosted by outside service providers with their own terms and privacy policies. If you interact with the Other Sites, your information may be stored, processed, or shared outside of the Services. If you interact with the Other Sites, you agree that you may be subject to the terms and conditions and policies applicable to such Other Site. Please be aware that any personally identifiable information you submit to the Other Sites may be read, collected, or used by other users of these forums indefinitely, and could be used to send you unsolicited messages. The Poll Hero Project is not responsible for the personally identifiable information you choose to submit via the Other Sites.

Privacy Policy Information

If The Poll Hero Project makes changes to this Privacy Policy, the updated Privacy Policy will be posted on the Services in a timely manner. If the changes are significant, we will provide a prominent notice. The Poll Hero Project reserves the right to modify this Privacy Policy at any time. If you object to any of the changes to Privacy Policy, you may cease using the Services and deactivate your account. Using the Services after a notice of changes has been communicated to you or published on the Services shall constitute your agreement to the changes.

United States Operation

The Services are operated from the United States. If you are located outside of the United States and choose to use the Services or provide information to us, your information will be transferred, processed and stored in the United States. United States privacy laws may not be as protective as those in your jurisdiction. You acknowledge and consent to this practice.

Disclaimer

While The Poll Hero Project continues to work hard to protect your personal information, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be absolutely secure, and The Poll Hero Project cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to The Poll Hero Project. Transmitting personal information is done at your own risk.

Retention of Information

We retain information as long as it is necessary and relevant for our operations. Information about you that is no longer necessary and relevant for our operations will be de-identified and/or disposed of securely. In addition, we may retain information from closed accounts to comply with the law, prevent fraud, collect fees, resolve disputes, troubleshoot problems, assist with investigations, enforce the Services’ terms and conditions and take other actions permitted by law. The information we retain will be handled in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

When you register, contribute, sign up to serve or volunteer, or take any other action on our site, we may ask you to give us contact information, including your name, address, telephone number and/or e-mail address. 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, send news and information to you about The Poll Hero Project & to solicit your participation in The Poll Hero Project programs, events, and activities, and obtain and confirm RSVPs to events and programs. We use your e-mail address to send such information by e-mail and may use your telephone number to call you for these purposes.
