You may unsubscribe from campaign email communications at any time by using the unsubscribe instructions included in an email or by contacting the campaign.

Website form submissions.
Information submitted through campaign forms may be stored within the campaign's WordPress website and may also be delivered to authorized campaign personnel by email.
The campaign may retain form submissions and related records for campaign operations, historical recordkeeping, compliance purposes and other legitimate campaign needs.
Information may be deleted when the campaign determines that it is no longer reasonably necessary to retain it, subject to applicable legal or recordkeeping requirements.
Access to stored campaign information is intended to be limited to authorized personnel and service providers who require access for campaign purposes.
Brevo and email delivery services.
The campaign may use Brevo and related email-delivery services to assist with reliable delivery of website-generated and campaign email communications.
Information necessary to deliver an email may be processed by those services in connection with providing their services to the campaign.
Third-party service providers maintain their own privacy and data-processing practices.
