1. Information We Collect
We collect information through three primary mechanisms: information you voluntarily provide to us, information collected automatically through web analytics, and information we are legally mandated to collect for compliance purposes.

B. Information Mandated by Campaign Finance Law As a registered political committee operating in the State of Texas, we are subject to the stringent, mandatory reporting requirements of the Texas Ethics Commission (TEC) and, where applicable, the Federal Election Commission (FEC). Pursuant to the Texas Election Code and TEC Rule § 18.31 (effective January 1, 2026), we are legally required to collect and publicly disclose specific information about our financial donors.6
If your total financial contributions to the Campaign exceed $110 during the current reporting period, we must collect and report your full legal name, physical mailing address, the exact date of the contribution, the amount of the contribution, and in certain statutorily defined circumstances, your principal occupation and the name of your employer.6 Please be advised that this information is filed with the state and becomes a matter of public record, accessible to the general public through government databases and search portals.17 We cannot offer absolute anonymity for contributions that exceed these state-mandated thresholds.
C. Information Collected Automatically via Tracking Technologies
When you navigate the Site, we utilize automated tracking technologies to collect anonymous data about your browsing behavior. This information helps us optimize the user experience and improve our digital outreach. The automated data we collect includes:
- Browser type, device type, and operating system.
- Pages viewed, time spent on the Site, and referring website addresses.

- To process and facilitate your financial contributions securely and efficiently.
- To mobilize volunteers, coordinate canvassing, and manage grassroots campaign events.
- To send you political updates, newsletters, fundraising appeals, and crucial voting information via email and SMS text messaging.

3. Third-Party Data Processors and Analytics
We respect your data. We do not sell, rent, or lease your personal contact information to third-party data brokers or external political organizations. We only share your information with trusted service providers who assist us in operating the Campaign, subject to strict confidentiality agreements.
Financial Processing (ActBlue) Donations made through our Site are processed by ActBlue, a highly secure, third-party Payment Card Industry (PCI) Level 1 service provider.34 When you make a contribution, your payment card information is transmitted directly and securely to ActBlue’s payment processors (such as Vantiv WorldPay, PayPal, or Apple Pay); the Campaign does not store, host, or have access to your raw credit card numbers.34 ActBlue securely captures the legally required compliance data (such as your address and employer) and transmits it to us solely for TEC reporting purposes. ActBlue does not sell your contact information, nor do they send unsolicited text messages or emails on our behalf.9 ActBlue’s use of your data is governed by their independent Privacy Policy.9
Google Analytics 4, Search Console, and Tag Manager The Site utilizes Google Analytics 4 (GA4), Google Search Console, and Google Tag Manager (GTM) to collect anonymous visitor data.3 GA4 uses cookies—small text files placed on your device—to track your interactions with the Site, identify returning users, and analyze session engagement.67
In compliance with modern privacy standards and Google’s Terms of Service, we employ automatic IP anonymization, ensuring that your complete IP address is never stored on Google’s servers.66 Furthermore, GA4 utilizes “data thresholding” to hide specific data points when audience sizes are small, ensuring that individual users cannot be identified through our aggregated reports.68 We strictly prohibit the uploading of any Personally Identifiable Information (PII)—such as your name, email, or phone number—into Google Tag Manager or Google Analytics.8
Google’s ability to use and share information collected by Google Analytics is restricted by the Google Analytics Terms of Service and the Google Privacy Policy. You can prevent Google Analytics from recognizing you on return visits to this site by disabling cookies in your browser preferences or by installing the (https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout).70

SMS Text Messaging
By voluntarily providing your mobile phone number and affirmatively checking the consent box on our web forms, you provide express written consent to receive automated text messages from the Yisak for Texas campaign. These messages may include campaign updates, event invitations, and fundraising requests. Message and data rates may apply.
We operate a strictly consent-based SMS program.7 You may revoke your consent and opt out of receiving text messages at any time. To opt out, simply reply “STOP” to any text message you receive from us. Upon receiving a “STOP” request, we will immediately honor your revocation, and you will receive one final, automated confirmation text acknowledging your removal from the SMS list.7 In strict accordance with Texas telemarketing regulations and settlement agreements, automated text messages will only be dispatched between the quiet hours of 9:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m. local time.7 We regularly scrub our lists against the Texas No-Call list to ensure absolute compliance.7
Email Communications If you wish to stop receiving email communications from the Campaign, you may safely unsubscribe by clicking the “Unsubscribe” link located conspicuously at the bottom of any campaign email.59 We process all unsubscribe requests promptly, and no later than ten (10) business days following the receipt of your request, in full compliance with the CAN-SPAM Act.59 Once you have opted out, your email address will not be sold or transferred to any third party.59
5. Data Security and Retention
The Campaign implements reasonable and appropriate administrative, technical, and physical security measures designed to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, loss, or alteration. While no data transmission over the Internet is entirely secure, we utilize industry-standard encryption protocols (such as HTTPS) to protect data in transit.
We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, or as legally mandated by the state. Specifically, the Texas Election Code and local government retention schedules require campaign treasurers to maintain financial records, invoices, and bank statements related to political contributions and expenditures for a minimum statutory period to ensure public accountability.32
6. Changes to this Privacy Policy
The regulatory environment governing data privacy, telecommunications, and campaign finance is subject to frequent legislative updates. The Campaign reserves the right to modify or amend this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changes in our operational practices or in applicable Texas or federal law. If we make material changes to this policy, we will update the “Effective Date” at the top of the page. We encourage constituents to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we are protecting your data.
