Hank Gilbert is fully committed to protecting your online privacy. To fulfill this commitment, we exercise multiple precautions to maintain the security of the information you provide.

Here is information about how we protect your information and what we do with the information you choose to share with us.

1. Subscribing to Campaign Updates
When you sign up for our mailing lists, we collect your email address, zip code. We use your email address to send you important news about Hank, alerts and timely information, as well as messages directly from Hank Gilbert. We may also use your zip code to send you email messages about upcoming campaign events in your locale.

You may remove your name from our mailing lists at anytime by emailing us at unsubscribe@hankgilbert.com or through unsubscribe link at the bottom of any email from the campaign.

2. How We Use the Information You Provide
When you volunteer online, we ask you for contact information (such as your name and email address) and geographic information (such as your zip code). We may ask you to tell us how you would like to get involved with campaign activities. This information would be used to send you material about Hank and to help match your interests to campaign activities. If you provide your phone number, we may call you.
We never share our mailing lists with non-Democratic third parties.

3. Linking to Other Sites

HankGilbert.com contains links to websites maintained by other organizations. We try to be careful about choosing links, however the campaign is not responsible for the privacy practices on these other web sites as we have no control over them. If you have concerns about the sites we link to, be sure to review their privacy policies.

4. Contributing Money Online
State law requires us to collect and report your name, address, employer, occupation, and the amount of your contribution.

State law requires us to use our best efforts to collect and report to the Texas Ethics Commission the name, mailing address, occupation and name of the employer of individuals whose contributions exceed $200 in a calendar year.

5. Cookies
The use of “cookies” (very small files stored as text on a computer hard drive) is common in the Internet industry, and many websites use them to provide useful features to their customers. Websites can use cookies to recognize repeat visitors, facilitate the visitor's ongoing access to and use of the site, and allow a site to track usage behavior and compile aggregate data that will allow content improvements. HankGilbert.com only uses cookie technology to obtain non-personal information from its online visitors for the purpose of improving visitors' online experience and facilitating their visits within our site.

6. Using Our "Tell-A-Friend" FeatureHankGilbert.com makes it easy for you to spread the word about Hank with its "Tell-A- Friend" feature. When you use "Tell-A-Friend," the addresses of those you communicate with are not added to our lists, and they will not be contacted by Hank unless they actually come to the site and register themselves.

7. ProtectingYour Information:
HankGilbert.com utilizes the same state-of-the-art security measures used by major organizations to protect against the misuse of information under our control. Multiple levels of security ensure that all data submitted to us cannot be accessed by unauthorized others. For example, sensitive private information, such as your credit card number, is automatically transferred to a secure session and encrypted before being stored in the database.
