About Us
This Privacy Policy describes how the Republican Party in the Virgin Islands (RPVI, we, us, or our) collects, uses, and protects information through rpvi.org and our communications programs.
Information We Collect
We collect information you voluntarily provide, such as your name, email address, phone number, mailing address, and information included in forms or messages. This may include information provided when you sign up for updates, register for events, volunteer, or contact us.
When you participate in our SMS/MMS program, we may collect your phone number, carrier information, consent records, and the date, time, and content of messages exchanged with us.
Our website and service providers may collect technical information such as IP address, browser and device information, pages visited, and interactions with the website. Cookies and similar technologies may be used to operate the website and understand its use. You can manage cookies through your browser settings; disabling them may affect site functionality.
How We Use Information
We use information to respond to requests, manage event registrations and volunteer activities, send updates you request, operate our communications programs, maintain and improve the website, protect against misuse, and comply with applicable requirements.
If you opt into text messages, you may receive SMS/MMS messages including marketing, polls, donation requests, and informational messages. Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply.
SMS Privacy and Information Sharing
SMS opt-in will not be sold, rented, or shared with any third parties or affiliates unless required by law. Data obtained through the text messaging program will not be shared with any third parties unless required by law.
Outside the text messaging program, we may provide information to service providers that assist with website operations, event administration, communications, or contribution processing for us. We may also disclose information when required by law. These general provisions do not override the restrictions above on SMS opt-in and text messaging program data.
Your Choices
You may opt out of text messages at any time by replying STOP. For help, reply HELP or email yob@rpvi.org. You may unsubscribe from email updates using the unsubscribe link in those emails. You may contact yob@rpvi.org to request correction or removal of information you provided, subject to applicable recordkeeping obligations.
Contributions and Third-Party Websites
Contribution links and other external links may direct you to third-party websites. Those providers process information under their own privacy policies. We may receive contribution information needed for administration and applicable reporting. Review the provider's policy before submitting personal or payment information.
Security and Retention
We take reasonable measures to protect personal information, but no internet transmission or storage system can be guaranteed completely secure. We retain information as needed for the purposes described here and applicable recordkeeping requirements.
Children
Our website is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect their personal information. Contact yob@rpvi.org if you believe a child under 13 has provided personal information to us.
