Overview

This Privacy Policy explains how the campaign of Gregory P. Smith for the Virgin Islands Senate ("the Campaign") handles information in connection with this website. The Campaign is committed to respecting your privacy and collecting as little personal information as possible.

Information We Collect

This website does not currently include contact forms, newsletter signups, account registrations, comment systems, file uploads, or donation processing. The website does not ask visitors to create accounts or submit personal information through built-in forms.

Technical Information

Like most websites, the hosting platform and security systems may automatically collect basic technical information such as IP addresses, browser type, operating system, referring pages, and access timestamps for operational and security purposes. This data is used to maintain the security and performance of the website and is retained only as long as operationally necessary.

Cookies

This website may use essential cookies required for the website to function properly. The Campaign does not use advertising cookies, cross-site tracking cookies, or behavioral profiling.

Email Communication

When you click an email link on this website, it opens your own email application. Email messages you send to the campaign are received and processed through the Campaign's email provider. The Campaign will not share your email communications with unrelated third parties for advertising purposes.

Community Survey

The community survey linked from this website is hosted by SurveyMonkey, an external service. Information submitted through the survey is processed according to the survey's settings and SurveyMonkey's own privacy practices. The Campaign does not control SurveyMonkey's data collection or storage.

External Websites

This website links to external resources, including the Elections System of the Virgin Islands (VIVOTE) and SurveyMonkey. These external websites have their own privacy policies and practices. The Campaign is not responsible for the privacy practices of external sites.

Analytics

If analytics are used, the Campaign prefers privacy-respecting, aggregated analytics with IP anonymization, short retention periods, no advertising profiles, and no cross-site tracking. The Campaign does not use invisible advertising pixels or session replay tools.

Information Sharing and Disclosure

The Campaign does not knowingly sell personal information. Information may be preserved or disclosed when required by law or to protect the security of the website.

Data Retention

Operational and security logs are retained for a reasonable period necessary for website maintenance and security, and are then deleted or anonymized.
