Last updated: July 12, 2026 · Adam Neil Arafat for Congress (FEC C00914705)

Scope

This policy describes how Adam Neil Arafat for Congress collects and uses information on arafatforcongress.org and related campaign landing pages, Watchtower pages, Rate Your Incumbent pages, forms, and analytics endpoints. The site is a public campaign communication paid for by Adam Neil Arafat for Congress.

Information you give us

We collect information you choose to submit:

Site analytics and ad attribution

We use first-party analytics to understand whether campaign pages are loading, which public pages are read, which links are clicked, and whether paid or organic outreach is working. This includes page views, scroll depth, click labels, section names, paths, referring domain, UTM parameters, campaign/content tags, ad click identifiers that appear in the landing URL, browser language, time zone, viewport bucket, device category, coarse country/region/city when available, session ID, visitor ID, hashed IP, user-agent data, and delivery/queue status for analytics events.

We use this information for aggregate campaign reporting, site quality, ad attribution, fraud prevention, security review, and compliance records. For example, a Meta ad may send a visitor to a URL with utm_source=meta, utm_medium=paid, utm_campaign, utm_content, and a platform click identifier. We use those values to count campaign performance; we do not use a Meta Pixel on this site.

We may use Google Analytics or Cloudflare aggregate analytics when configured, and we may receive aggregate reporting from ad platforms where campaign ads run. Those third parties process data under their own policies. We do not run Adobe tracking.

Cookies and local storage

The site uses first-party browser storage such as vg_visitor_id, vg_session_id, and attribution or event-queue keys to keep analytics consistent across page views and to retry delivery when a connection fails. You can clear these values through your browser settings. If you block or clear storage, the site should still work, but analytics may count you as a new visitor.

Request logs and security data

Like most websites, our servers and security systems may log request time, method, host, path, response status, response time, referrer, user-agent, IP address or hashed IP, Cloudflare Ray ID, country/region/city, ASN, bot score, and related request metadata. We use this for security, abuse prevention, uptime, debugging, and compliance. Raw IP address and full user-agent data are treated as operational security data and are not used to identify voters for persuasion by default.

What we do with personal information

We use contact information for campaign updates, volunteer coordination, endorsement follow-up, support requests, compliance records, and voter-contact operations when you have provided the information or opted in. We do not sell, rent, or trade personal information. We do not join form PII to behavioral visitor/session identifiers by default for persuasion targeting.

Federal contribution disclosure

Contributions or gifts to Adam Neil Arafat for Congress are not tax-deductible. Federal law requires us to use best efforts to collect and report the name, mailing address, occupation, and name of employer of individuals whose contributions exceed $200 in a calendar year. FEC reports may be publicly available at fec.gov.

SMS messaging (TCPA)

We never auto-enroll you in text messages. To receive campaign texts you must check the dedicated SMS opt-in box or otherwise give consent through a campaign texting flow. Consent is not required to endorse, volunteer, donate, or otherwise interact with the campaign. If you opt in, you agree to receive recurring automated text messages from Adam Neil Arafat for Congress at the number you provided. Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to opt out, HELP for help. You may revoke consent at any time.

Email

If you give us your email, we may use it for campaign updates, volunteer coordination, support follow-up, and confirmation of your endorsement or signup. Campaign emails include an unsubscribe or reply-based opt-out mechanism where required.

Retention

We keep campaign records for as long as reasonably needed for campaign operations, legal compliance, accounting, security, dispute resolution, and FEC or other recordkeeping obligations. Analytics records may be kept in event-level form for operational reporting and then summarized, archived, or deleted. Security logs may be kept separately when needed to investigate abuse, fraud, uptime, or legal issues.

Sharing

We may share information with service providers that help operate the campaign, including hosting, security, analytics, email, texting, form processing, compliance, payment processing, and ad platforms. We may also disclose information when required by law, to protect the site or campaign, or to satisfy campaign-finance reporting obligations. ActBlue, Meta, Google, Cloudflare, email providers, texting vendors, and other third-party services may process information under their own policies when you interact with those services or when campaign ads are served through those platforms.

Children

This site is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 13.

Your choices

You can request a copy of, correction to, or deletion of personal information you provided to the campaign by emailing info@arafatforcongress.org. Some records may need to be retained for legal, compliance, accounting, security, or campaign-finance reasons. You can also clear cookies and local storage through your browser, unsubscribe from campaign email, and reply STOP to campaign texts.

Changes

We may update this policy as campaign systems, vendors, analytics, legal requirements, or public communications change. The "Last updated" date reflects the current version.
