Privacy Policy

Additional information collected

• Account details such as pronouns, Texas voter ID or a statement that you are not registered to vote, and any Volunteer Deputy Voter Registrar (VDVR) numbers you add.
• Campaign information: contacts, organizations, voter records, notes, outreach history, walk results and form submissions that campaigns add or receive.
• An edit log recording who changed each record.

How it is used and who can see it

We use this information to match accounts to the public voter file, keep each campaign's data separate and record who changed what.

Each campaign's private notes, statuses and outreach history are visible only to that campaign's members. Shared voter and organization records are visible to campaigns whose race area or access lists include them. VDVR numbers are visible to you and to campaigns in the counties where you are a registrar or where you live.

Public voter records

Voter information comes largely from public voter registration records. Its use is limited to election, political and governmental purposes, as Texas law requires.

Data accuracy

Compass Campaign does not guarantee that it holds all data for your race, district or area. Voter, organization, district, precinct and contact data may be incomplete, out of date or inaccurate.

Updates

Compass Campaign users will be asked to accept any updated version of this policy before continuing to use the service.

Additional information collected

• Brand materials you give us: logos, colors, voice, topics and your website address.
• Public content from your website, which we read to write your posts.
• Social account connections: when you connect Facebook, Instagram or Threads, we receive an access permission from Meta, plus the names and IDs of the Pages and accounts you choose.
• Posts we create for you, their images, schedules and publishing results.

Information from Meta

We only post to the Pages and accounts you choose. We do not read your private messages, and we do not use your information for advertising.

Data received from Facebook, Instagram and Threads is used only to publish and manage your posts and is handled according to Meta's Platform Terms. You can disconnect at any time inside Heron Dispatch or in your Facebook settings under Apps and Websites. Connection keys are kept on our servers and are never shown in your browser.

Sharing and deletion

We share Heron Dispatch information only with the providers that run the service, including hosting, database, and AI writing and image providers, and with the social networks you ask us to post to. When you ask us to delete your data, we remove it within 30 days, except where the law requires us to keep it longer.

What we receive

When you connect a social account to one of our tools, or let us manage a Page or account for you, we receive only the permissions you approve, such as the account name, ID and permission to publish or read insights. We use this information only to publish, schedule, manage and report on content for you. We do not sell it, use it for advertising profiles, or read private messages unless you ask us to manage them.

Following platform rules

Data from each network is handled according to that network's developer and platform terms, including Meta Platform Terms, LinkedIn API Terms, X Developer Policy, TikTok Developer Terms and YouTube API Services Terms. YouTube users also agree to the YouTube Terms of Service, and Google's Privacy Policy applies at https://policies.google.com/privacy.

Data deletion instructions

• Disconnect the account inside the tool, or remove our app in that network's settings (for Facebook: Settings, then Apps and Websites).
• Then email connect@trentonhoyt.com with the subject "Data deletion request" and the account name. We delete the related data within 30 days, except records the law requires us to keep, and confirm by email.

When you message or follow us

If you comment on, message or follow our own social accounts, the network shares that interaction with us. We use it only to respond and to understand interest in our work. The network's own privacy policy also applies.

Google account connections

Some tools let you connect a Google account, such as Gmail, Calendar, Drive, Business Profile, YouTube or Google Ads. We request only the access a feature needs and use it only to provide that feature to you.

Limited Use

Our use and transfer to any other app of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. We do not use Google user data for advertising, do not sell it, and do not let people read it except with your permission, for security or as the law requires.

We do not intentionally use Google user data to train general AI models, and we take reasonable steps to keep connected accounts out of AI training. We cannot guarantee that this data is never processed in connection with AI systems, for example where a connected service or provider handles it as part of the feature you asked for. If that matters to you, contact us before connecting a Google account.

Google Ads

When we run Google Ads for ourselves or a client, Google may use cookies to show ads based on past visits, measure conversions and report results. We do not send Google sensitive information. You can manage ad personalization at https://adssettings.google.com and learn more at https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads.

Removing access

You can remove our access at any time at https://myaccount.google.com/permissions and ask us to delete related data using the instructions in the social media section above.

Ads on other platforms

We may run ads on Meta, LinkedIn, X, TikTok, Microsoft and other networks. These platforms may use cookies, pixels or uploaded, scrambled (hashed) contact lists to measure results or reach audiences. We upload contact lists only when the people on them have a relationship with the advertiser and the platform's rules allow it.

Your choices

• Meta ad preferences: https://www.facebook.com/adpreferences
• Industry opt-out: https://optout.aboutads.info
• Browser settings and Global Privacy Control signals, which we honor where the law requires.

Mobile information

No mobile information will be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. Text messaging opt-in data and consent are never shared with any third party, except service providers that deliver the messages.

Political text messages are delivered through a third-party messaging vendor we contract with. That vendor receives the phone numbers, consent records and message content it needs to run a program, register it with wireless carriers and honor STOP and HELP replies. It acts as a service provider only: it may not use your mobile information or a client's contact list for its own marketing, and may not sell it. The vendor's own privacy practices apply alongside this policy.
