This privacy policy applies to information we collect when you use Bootstrap Office, our website, and when you communicate with us. It explains what data we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding your information.

What we collect and why

Our guiding principle is to collect only what we need. Here's what we collect and why:

Identity & access

When you sign up for Bootstrap Office, we ask for identifying information such as your name and email address. This is so you can personalize your account and we can send you service updates. We'll never sell your personal info to third parties, and we won't use your name or email in marketing statements without your permission.

Website interactions

We log requests to our servers for debugging, security monitoring, and customer service purposes. These logs include your IP address, browser type, operating system, the referring web page, pages visited, and timestamps. We keep these logs for up to 90 days.

We use essential cookies to keep you logged in to your account. These session cookies are necessary for the application to function properly. We do not use any tracking cookies or remarketing cookies. We use Umami, a cookieless, privacy-focused analytics service, to understand aggregate site traffic (pages visited, referrers, and general actions like clicking a button). Umami does not use cookies, does not store personally identifiable information, and does not track you across other websites.

Billing information

We do not process payments directly through Bootstrap Office. Invoices are sent separately, and you can pay via check or through our payment processor Stripe (for ACH, debit, or credit card payments). When you pay through Stripe, they handle your payment information according to their privacy policy. We never see or store your full credit card details.

Voter data access

The voter history and election data available in Bootstrap Office is public information primarily obtained from the Georgia Secretary of State. This data is provided by us - you do not upload your own voter data. Access to this data is controlled based on your account's subscription status.

Voluntary correspondence

When you email us with a question or to ask for help, we keep that correspondence, including your email address, so that we have a history of past conversations to reference if you reach out in the future.

When we access or disclose your information

To provide products or services you've requested. We use your information to authenticate you and provide you access to voter data based on your subscription level.

To help you use our products. We may access your account to help you troubleshoot or resolve issues.

To investigate security incidents or violations of our terms. We may review usage patterns to identify and prevent abuse.

To comply with legal requirements. We may preserve or disclose your information if required by law, including in response to court orders, subpoenas, or other legal processes. We will seek legal counsel to ensure any disclosure is lawful and limited to what is required.

Your rights with respect to your information

At Bootstrap Office, we strive to apply the same data rights to all customers, regardless of their location. Some of these rights include:

• Right to know. You have the right to know what personal information we hold about you.

We regularly review our security practices and update them as needed. Access to customer data is limited to authorized personnel who need it to perform their job functions.

What happens when you delete your account

You can request deletion of your account at any time by contacting us at admin@bootstrapoffice.com. When you delete your account, we'll permanently delete your personal information within 30 days, except where we're legally required to retain it.

Data retention

Account data: We retain your account information for as long as you have an account with us. If you haven't accessed your account for one year, we may reach out to confirm if you want to keep it active.

Election data: Voter history and election information for the current election cycle is removed 2 weeks after any runoff elections are completed. Your login remains active for future election cycles, but previous campaign data will no longer be accessible.

Location of site and data

Our servers are operated in the United States. If you are located outside of the US, please be aware that any information you provide will be transferred to and stored in the US. By using Bootstrap Office, you consent to this transfer.

Shared accounts and team access

Bootstrap Office accounts can have up to 5 users for joint access to campaign data. Account owners can invite team members and manage their access. Team members can see shared campaign data but cannot modify account billing or delete the account.

Service providers

We work with the following third-party services to provide Bootstrap Office:

• DigitalOcean for hosting our servers and databases
• Postmark for sending transactional emails (like password resets)
• Stripe for payment processing (when you pay invoices online)

These providers have access only to the information necessary to perform their services and are contractually obligated to protect your data.
