How We Handle Your Information

Last updated: May 7, 2026

Indivisible North Pinellas is a volunteer-run grassroots civic engagement group based in Dunedin, Florida. We are not a 501(c)(3). We do not sell anything. We do not run ads. We are not in the data business, and we have no interest in being in it. This page tells you, in plain English, what little information we collect, why, and what you can ask us to do with it.

What we collect

Three things, max:

Newsletter signups. If you sign up, we collect your name, email, and ZIP code. That is what gets you on the list.
Contact and volunteer forms. If you message us or sign up to volunteer, we collect what you type into the form (usually name, email, and your message or interests).
Basic site analytics. Our hosting provider records standard server logs (IP address, browser type, pages visited). If we add Google Analytics later, we will update this page to say so.

That is it. Comments are turned off, so we are not collecting commenter data. We do not run a store, so we do not collect payment info on this site.

Why we collect it

Newsletter info goes into our email tool so we can send you action alerts, meeting reminders, and updates. The ZIP code helps us flag local items that actually affect you.
Form info goes to whichever volunteer is on point for that form, so we can write back or plug you into the right working group.
Analytics tell us which pages people read so we can write better ones.

Where it is stored and who sees it

This website runs on DreamPress (DreamHost). They store the site database and logs. Their privacy policy is at dreamhost.com/legal/privacy-policy.
Newsletter list is hosted on EveryAction, a tool used by progressive groups across the country. Their privacy policy is at bonterratech.com/privacy (Bonterra is EveryAction’s parent company).
Inside our group, only the handful of volunteers who run communications and outreach can see your contact info. We do not share, sell, rent, trade, or hand off your information to candidates, campaigns, vendors, or anyone else.

Third-party services on this site

A few outside services run on our pages. Each one has its own privacy policy:

EveryAction hosts our newsletter signup form and donation links.
ActBlue processes donations if you click a Donate link. We never see your card info.
Activate Pinellas is a partner site we embed (candidate pages, etc.). When you load an embedded page, your browser talks to their server.
Google Fonts serves the typefaces on this site.
YouTube hosts our meeting recap videos. When you play one, YouTube sets its own cookies.
Yoast SEO runs in the background to help search engines find us. It does not collect visitor data.

Cookies

WordPress sets a session cookie if you log in (only volunteers do). The third-party services above (YouTube, embedded iframes, Google Fonts) may set their own cookies when you interact with them. We do not run an advertising tracker or a Facebook pixel.

Your rights

The fastest way to stop emails is to unsubscribe yourself. Use our member portal: manage your account →. You can update your contact info, change which emails you receive, or unsubscribe entirely. Every newsletter we send also has a one-click unsubscribe link at the bottom, which works on its own. No fee, no friction.

Unsubscribing stops the emails but keeps a quiet record that you were once on our list. We do this so that if you ever want to come back, your history is intact, and so that we can honor your “do not contact” preference if anyone re-imports an old list. That record is not used for any other purpose.

You can also ask us to:

See what info we have on you.
Correct anything that is wrong.
Send you a copy of what we have, in a usable format.
Fully delete your record, including the “do not contact” entry. This is a separate, manual request because once it is done we cannot honor a future unsubscribe preference for that email.

For anything other than self-service, email [email protected] and a volunteer will handle it.

Kids

This site is not aimed at anyone under 13. We do not knowingly collect info from kids. If you think a child signed up, email us and we will delete the record.

How to reach us

For any privacy question, deletion request, or “what do you have on me” inquiry, email [email protected].

Changes to this policy

If we add a new tool or change how we use information, we will update this page and bump the date at the top. For anything material (a new tracker, a new third-party service that touches your data), we will also note the change in our newsletter so you actually hear about it.

Sources and basis

This policy is written to follow the FTC’s CAN-SPAM Act guidance for email senders (15 U.S.C. ch. 103, 16 CFR Part 316), the FTC’s general Privacy and Security guidance for businesses, and California and Florida consumer privacy norms even though, as a small volunteer nonprofit, we fall under the size and revenue thresholds where most of those laws (CCPA/CPRA, Florida Digital Bill of Rights) do not legally require us to comply. We follow them anyway because it is the right way to handle other people’s data.
