Effective Date: 7/23/2026. Last Updated: 7/23/2026.
1. Introduction and Scope
Taxpayers For Term Limits PC (the "Committee," "we," "us," or "our") is a political committee organized and registered under Chapter 106, Florida Statutes, and maintained on the active committee list of the Florida Department of State, Division of Elections (the "Division"), under identification number 79944. The Committee's address of record is 5500 Military Trail, Num 20-202, Jupiter, Florida 33458.
This Privacy Policy (this "Policy") governs the collection, use, retention, and disclosure of information obtained by the Committee through the website located at https://taxpayersfortermlimits.org/ and any associated subdomains, pages, forms, and online services operated by the Committee (collectively, the "Site"). This Policy applies to information collected through the Site and does not apply to information collected offline, to information collected by any third party whose services are accessible through the Site, or to the practices of any candidate, committee, party, or organization other than the Committee. By accessing the Site, submitting information through it, or contributing to the Committee, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Policy.
Nothing in this Policy limits, waives, modifies, or supersedes any obligation imposed upon the Committee by the Florida Election Code, by the rules of the Division, by the Internal Revenue Code, or by any other applicable law. Where any provision of this Policy conflicts with such an obligation, the obligation controls, and the Committee will comply with it notwithstanding any contrary statement, expectation, or request.
2. Definitions
For purposes of this Policy, the following terms have the meanings set forth in this Section. "Contribution" has the meaning given in Section 106.011, Florida Statutes. "Contributor Information" means the name, address, occupation, employer, and contribution amount and date of any person making a Contribution, together with any additional information the Committee is required to collect, record, or report under Chapter 106, Florida Statutes. "Personal Information" means information that identifies, relates to, describes, or is reasonably capable of being associated with a particular individual, including the categories of information enumerated in Section 4. "Service Provider" means any vendor, processor, contractor, or agent that processes Personal Information on the Committee's behalf and at its direction. "Supporter" means any individual who visits the Site, contributes to the Committee, subscribes to Committee communications, or registers to volunteer or attend a Committee event.
3. Notice Regarding Public Disclosure of Contributor Information
READ THIS SECTION BEFORE CONTRIBUTING. IF YOU MAKE A CONTRIBUTION TO THE COMMITTEE, YOUR NAME, ADDRESS, OCCUPATION, AND THE AMOUNT AND DATE OF YOUR CONTRIBUTION WILL BE REPORTED TO THE STATE OF FLORIDA AND WILL BECOME A PUBLIC RECORD AVAILABLE TO ANY MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC.
Chapter 106, Florida Statutes, imposes upon political committees a continuing and non-waivable obligation of public financial disclosure. Section 106.06 requires the Committee's campaign treasurer to keep detailed accounts of all Contributions received, and subjects those accounts to inspection. Section 106.07 requires the Committee to file periodic campaign treasurer's reports itemizing Contributions and expenditures. Section 106.0705 requires that such reports be filed by means of the Division's Electronic Filing System. Reports so filed are published by the Division in a database that is accessible to the general public without charge and that is searchable by contributor name.
The Committee has no discretion in this matter. The Committee cannot exempt any Supporter from disclosure, cannot redact, anonymize, or withhold Contributor Information from a report required to be filed, and cannot cause information already filed to be removed, amended, or suppressed except as the Division's own procedures permit for the correction of error. Requests to omit a Contributor's identity from a required report cannot be honored, and the Committee will not agree, expressly or by implication, to do so.
Additionally, Contributor Information filed with the Division may be, and routinely is, copied, aggregated, republished, indexed by search engines, and redistributed by journalists, researchers, opposing campaigns, commercial data vendors, and members of the public, over whom the Committee exercises no control whatsoever and to whom this Policy does not apply. The Committee disclaims any responsibility for such downstream use. Any Supporter who is unwilling to accept these consequences should not make a Contribution to the Committee.
4. Categories of Information Collected
4.1 Information You Provide Directly
The Committee collects Personal Information that a Supporter voluntarily submits through the Site. This includes contact information consisting of full name, postal address, electronic mail address, and telephone number; Contributor Information required by law, consisting of occupation and employer together with such other particulars as Chapter 106, Florida Statutes requires the Committee to obtain and report; payment information, consisting of payment card or bank account particulars submitted through the Committee's payment processor, provided that the Committee does not itself store complete payment card numbers or bank account numbers upon its own systems and receives from the processor only such transaction data as is necessary to record and report the Contribution; volunteer and event registration information, consisting of stated availability, areas of interest, event attendance, and any additional particulars submitted through a volunteer or event form; and the substance of any correspondence, inquiry, comment, or other communication directed to the Committee through the Site.
4.2 Information Collected Automatically
When a Supporter accesses the Site, the Committee and its Service Providers may automatically collect technical and usage information, including internet protocol address and the approximate geographic location derived from it; browser type and version; device type, operating system, and screen configuration; referring uniform resource locator; pages and content viewed, together with the dates, times, and duration of such viewing; interactions with forms, links, and other Site elements; and information collected by cookies, pixels, tags, software development kits, and similar technologies as further described in Section 9. Such information may be associated with Personal Information the Supporter has otherwise provided.
4.3 Information Obtained from Third Parties
The Committee may receive Personal Information concerning a Supporter from third parties, including its Service Providers, publicly available governmental records, commercially available data sources, and any organization from which the Committee lawfully obtains contact information. The Committee may append such information to, and combine it with, information it has collected directly, for the purposes stated in Section 5.
5. Purposes of Collection and Use
The Committee collects, uses, and processes Personal Information for the following purposes. First, to receive, process, verify, acknowledge, and record Contributions, and to detect and prevent fraudulent, duplicated, unlawful, or reversed transactions. Second, and of paramount importance, to discharge the Committee's mandatory recordkeeping, reporting, certification, and disclosure obligations under Chapter 106, Florida Statutes and the rules of the Division, and its obligations under the Internal Revenue Code applicable to political organizations, including the preparation and filing of such federal returns and notices as the Committee is required to file. Third, to transmit electronic mail communications to Supporters who have subscribed to receive them, and to transmit text messages to Supporters who have separately and affirmatively consented to receive them in accordance with Section 7. Fourth, to organize, coordinate, and administer volunteer activity and Committee events. Fifth, to communicate concerning the Committee's activities and concerning the candidates and issues the Committee supports or opposes. Sixth, to solicit further Contributions and support.

Eighth, to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims, to respond to lawful process, and to comply with any other obligation imposed by applicable law.
6. Disclosure of Information to Third Parties
6.1 Service Providers
The Committee discloses Personal Information to Service Providers that perform functions upon its behalf, including its payment processor, its electronic mail platform, its text messaging platform, its website host, its analytics and advertising providers, and its compliance, accounting, and legal advisors. Each Service Provider is authorized to use Personal Information solely as necessary to perform services for the Committee and is prohibited from using it for the Service Provider's own independent purposes, except that analytics and advertising providers may use information collected through the Site in accordance with their own published policies, over which the Committee exercises no control.
6.2 Mandatory Governmental Disclosure
The Committee discloses Contributor Information to the Division as required by Chapter 106, Florida Statutes, and as more fully described in Section 3. Such information thereupon becomes a public record. The Committee likewise discloses information to the Internal Revenue Service and to any other governmental authority to the extent required by applicable law.
6.3 Legal Process and Protection of Rights
The Committee may disclose Personal Information where it determines, in good faith, that disclosure is required or permitted by law, regulation, subpoena, civil investigative demand, court order, or other lawful process, or is reasonably necessary to investigate suspected fraud or unlawful conduct, to enforce the terms governing use of the Site, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of the Committee, its Supporters, its officers, or any other person.
6.4 Transfer to Other Candidates, Committees, and Organizations
The Committee may sell, rent, trade, exchange, or otherwise transfer a Supporter's name, postal address, and electronic mail address to other candidates, political committees, political parties, and organizations whose objectives the Committee believes to be aligned with its own, and may receive consideration for doing so. A Supporter may direct the Committee to cease such transfers at any time by submitting a request in accordance with Section 12, and the Committee will honor such a request within a reasonable period, provided that the Committee cannot recall, retrieve, or restrict the further use of information already transferred. Notwithstanding anything in this Alternative B to the contrary, the Committee does not and will not sell, rent, trade, exchange, or otherwise transfer any Supporter's telephone number or any record of a Supporter's consent to receive text messages to any third party under any circumstances, and this exclusion is absolute.
6.5 Dissolution and Successors
In the event of the Committee's dissolution, termination, merger, reorganization, or the transfer of its assets, residual funds will be disposed of in the manner stated in the Committee's Statement of Organization on file with the Division, and Committee records, including records containing Personal Information, may be transferred to a successor entity, to another political committee, or to such other recipient as is permitted by applicable law, provided that the exclusion stated in the final sentence of Alternative B of Section 6.4 shall survive any such transfer.
7. Text Message Program
A Supporter who furnishes a mobile telephone number to the Committee and affirmatively opts in to the Committee's text message program thereby consents to receive recurring automated text messages from the Committee, which may include fundraising solicitations, volunteer and event requests, and information concerning candidates and issues. Consent is obtained separately from, and is not bundled with, any other consent, and consent to receive text messages is not, and will not be made, a condition of making a Contribution, of subscribing to electronic mail, of registering as a volunteer, or of any other participation in the Committee's activities.
Message and data rates may apply according to the Supporter's own wireless plan. Message frequency varies. A Supporter may revoke consent at any time by replying STOP to any message received from the Committee, whereupon the Committee will cease sending messages to that number, and may obtain assistance by replying HELP. Wireless carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages.
The Committee does not sell, rent, share, or otherwise transfer mobile telephone numbers or text message consent data to any third party for that third party's own marketing or other purposes. Such information is disclosed only to the messaging Service Provider that transmits messages upon the Committee's behalf, and solely for that purpose.
8. Electronic Mail
A Supporter who furnishes an electronic mail address to the Committee may receive communications from the Committee, including fundraising solicitations, informational messages, and event notices. Every such communication will contain a functioning mechanism by which the Supporter may unsubscribe, and the Committee will honor unsubscribe requests promptly. The Committee may continue to transmit transactional messages, including Contribution receipts and acknowledgments, notwithstanding an unsubscribe request.
9. Cookies, Analytics, and Tracking Technologies
The Site employs cookies, web beacons, pixels, tags, and similar technologies for the purposes of operating the Site, maintaining session state, retaining Supporter preferences, measuring traffic and Site performance, and measuring and optimizing the Committee's advertising. The Committee presently employs [ANALYTICS TOOLS] and [ADVERTISING PIXELS]. These technologies permit the providers thereof to collect information concerning a Supporter's visit to the Site and to deliver advertising to that Supporter upon other websites and platforms, in each case in accordance with such providers' own policies and practices, for which the Committee bears no responsibility and over which it exercises no control.
Most web browsers permit a user to refuse, restrict, or delete cookies through the browser's own settings, and platform-level controls may permit a user to limit interest-based advertising. A Supporter who exercises such controls may find that certain features of the Site do not function properly. The Committee does not presently respond to browser-transmitted "Do Not Track" signals, there being no uniform industry standard governing such signals.
10. Retention of Information
The Committee retains Personal Information for so long as is necessary to accomplish the purposes stated in Section 5, and thereafter for so long as retention is required by Chapter 106, Florida Statutes, by the record-retention obligations applicable to political organizations under federal tax law, or by any other applicable legal, accounting, audit, or litigation-hold requirement, whichever period is longest. Where a Supporter requests deletion, the Committee will delete Personal Information from its own active systems to the extent that deletion is not inconsistent with the foregoing retention obligations, provided that the Committee cannot and will not delete, alter, or withdraw any report already filed with the Division or any other governmental authority.
11. Security and Incident Notification
The Committee maintains administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect Personal Information in its possession against unauthorized access, use, alteration, disclosure, and destruction, and requires its Service Providers to maintain safeguards appropriate to the services they perform. No system of safeguards is impenetrable, no method of electronic transmission or electronic storage is perfectly secure, and the Committee accordingly does not warrant, guarantee, or represent that Personal Information will remain free from unauthorized access under all circumstances.
In the event of a breach of security affecting Personal Information in the Committee's possession, the Committee will provide such notice as is required by applicable law, including Section 501.171, Florida Statutes, if and to the extent that provision is applicable to the Committee, and will do so within the time periods that provision or other applicable law prescribes.
The safeguards described in this Section apply only to information within the Committee's possession and control. They do not apply, and cannot apply, to Contributor Information that has been filed with the Division and thereby made a public record pursuant to Section 3.
12. Supporter Choices and Requests
A Supporter may unsubscribe from electronic mail by using the mechanism contained in any Committee electronic mail message or by contacting the Committee directly. A Supporter may revoke text message consent by replying STOP as described in Section 7. A Supporter may request removal from postal mailings, may request access to or correction of the Personal Information the Committee maintains concerning that Supporter, and may request deletion of such information, in each case by directing a request to the Committee in the manner stated in Section 19.
The Committee will respond to such requests within a reasonable period and will honor them to the extent required by applicable law and to the extent consistent with the retention obligations stated in Section 10. The Committee may take reasonable measures to verify the identity of any person submitting a request before acting upon it. No request submitted under this Section can alter, suppress, or cause the removal of any Contributor Information already filed with the Division.
13. State Privacy Rights
Certain states have enacted statutes conferring rights upon their residents with respect to Personal Information. Many such statutes, including those of Florida and California, define their scope by reference to entities operating for profit or meeting specified revenue or processing thresholds, and the Committee's position is that it does not fall within the scope of those statutes. The Committee nonetheless affords to every Supporter, without regard to residence, the rights described in Section 12. Nothing in this Section constitutes a waiver of, or an admission concerning, the applicability or inapplicability of any statute to the Committee.
14. Minors
The Site is not directed to children, and the Committee does not knowingly solicit or collect Personal Information from any individual under the age of eighteen years. The Committee does not knowingly accept Contributions from any individual under the age of [MINIMUM AGE] years. Any parent or guardian who believes that a child has furnished Personal Information to the Committee should contact the Committee in the manner stated in Section 19, whereupon the Committee will delete such information from its active systems, subject always to Section 10.
15. Third-Party Websites and Platforms
The Site may contain links to, or embedded content from, websites, platforms, and services operated by third parties, including social media platforms, the Committee's payment processor, and news and information sources. This Policy does not govern any such third party, and the Committee makes no representation concerning any such third party's practices. A Supporter who follows such a link or interacts with such content should review the applicable third party's own privacy policy.
16. Geographic Scope
The Site is directed to residents of the United States. The Committee does not solicit, and does not knowingly accept, Contributions from foreign nationals or from any person prohibited by law from contributing. Personal Information collected through the Site is processed and stored within the United States. Any person accessing the Site from outside the United States does so upon that person's own initiative and is responsible for compliance with applicable local law.
17. Amendment of This Policy
The Committee may amend this Policy at any time. Any amendment takes effect upon posting to the Site, and the "Last Updated" date appearing above will be revised accordingly. Where an amendment materially alters the Committee's treatment of Personal Information, the Committee will identify the amendment by a notice more prominent than a revision of the date alone. Continued use of the Site following an amendment constitutes acceptance of the Policy as amended.
18. Governing Law; Severability; Construction
This Policy is governed by the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. If any provision of this Policy is held invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, that provision shall be severed and the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect. The section headings appearing in this Policy are for convenience of reference only and do not affect its construction. This Policy confers no rights upon, and creates no obligations to, any third party, and is not intended to create any contractual right enforceable against the Committee.
19. Contact
Inquiries concerning this Policy, and requests submitted under Section 12, should be directed to the Treasurer, Taxpayers For Term Limits PC, 5500 Military Trail, Num 20-202, Jupiter, Florida 33458, electronic mail contact@taxpayersfortermlimits.org
