About Us

Welcome to the official website (the “website” or “site”) of Fired Up for Congress (“Fired Up”, “we”, “us”, “our”). We are a NOT-FOR-PROFIT, TAX-EXEMPT POLITICAL ORGANIZATION PURSUANT TO SECTION 527 OF THE INTERNAL REVENE CODE OPERATING AS Fired Up’s PRINCIPAL CAMPAIGN COMMITTEE, AS THAT TERM IS DEFINED IN THE FEDERAL ELECTION CAMPAIGN ACT OF 1971. As a political organization that is not operated for the profit or financial benefit shareholders or other owners, we are exempt from certain laws that regulate how businesses collect, sell, disclose, use, and transfer personal information, and what information businesses must provide to data subjects about the use of their personal information. Your privacy is important to us and we understand that you may have questions about how we collect and use your information. This Privacy Policy is intended to address those questions. If you have additional questions or concerns, please contact us at info@firedupforamerica.com.

Capitalized terms used but not defined within the body of this Privacy Policy shall have the meanings ascribed to those terms in the “Definitions” section below. All other words used in this Privacy Policy have the meanings commonly ascribed to them in American English in the context that they appear.

Our Political Activities

This Privacy Policy describes the processing of information provided or collected by us on the websites, Applications, and other digital properties where this Privacy Policy is posted (our “online political activities”). It also describes the processing and sharing of information that may be provided to or collected by us through text messages, email messages, direct mail, or offline at in-person events, though face-to-face interactions, or through call centers (our “offline political activities” and, together with our online political activities, our “Political Activities”). We follow this Privacy Policy in accordance with applicable laws. Please review our Terms of Service, which governs your use of our websites.

Categories of Information We May Collect

We, or our third-party service providers, collect two basic types of information: (a) Personal Information and (b) Anonymous Information. Additionally, we may use Personal Information and Anonymous Information to create a third type of information: Aggregate Information. Aggregate Information containing Personal Information shall be treated as Personal Information. In particular, we collect:

• Registration Information.

    In order to access and participate in certain features, content, or other functions of our Political Activities, or enter a promotion, sweepstakes, or raffle, participate in a survey or poll, or register for and attend an in-person event, you may be required to create an account (“User Account”) and provide Personal Information, which may include, without limitation, your name, username, password, e-mail, date of birth, gender, and other descriptive information.

We do not, ourselves, process or store payment card information.

• Campaign Finance Information.
