How we handle your information on the DeFlock Huntsville campaign website.
Last Updated: November 9, 2026
DeFlock Huntsville is a grassroots campaign advocating for privacy rights and public accountability around surveillance technology. Because our petition asks supporters for personal information, we want to explain what the website collects, how it is used, and the choices available to you.
When you sign our petition, the website collects your full name, email address, ZIP code, IP address, whether you opt in to campaign updates, and the date and time of submission. The website uses this information to record your signature, detect duplicate submissions, help prevent automated abuse, and administer the petition.
If you contact the campaign by email or another channel, we receive the information you choose to provide. Basic technical information may also be processed by the web server and its security logs, such as IP address, requested pages, timestamps, and browser information.
The public website displays a total signature count, not a public list of signers. To pursue the petition's purpose, names, ZIP codes, or other petition details may be submitted to public officials or governmental bodies. Information formally submitted to a public body may become subject to applicable public-records rules. We cannot guarantee the confidentiality of information after an official submission.
We do not sell petition information or provide email addresses to outside advertisers. Limited information may be accessible to authorized campaign administrators and service providers needed to host, maintain, or secure the site. Information may also be disclosed when required by applicable law or legal process.
Signing the petition does not by itself require you to receive campaign updates. The petition records whether you checked the updates option. If you receive optional emails, you may request to stop them using the contact information below.
The website and its hosting environment may use technical logs and security measures needed for operation and abuse prevention. This statement does not claim that every third-party resource is tracking-free. External websites linked from our pages—including DeFlock.me, the Electronic Frontier Foundation, and any embedded third-party media or maps—operate under their own privacy practices. Review their policies when visiting those services.
We use access controls and technical safeguards intended to protect campaign data, but no website or transmission method can guarantee absolute security. Petition records are retained while needed for campaign administration, verification, recordkeeping, and applicable legal obligations. We periodically review retention needs and may remove information when it is no longer required.
You may contact us to ask what petition information we hold about you, correct inaccurate information, request deletion, or stop optional campaign communications. Requests will be assessed in light of verification needs, any prior official submission, and applicable legal or recordkeeping requirements. Deletion cannot necessarily reverse information already provided to a public authority.
If you discover a vulnerability affecting this website, please follow our Security Reporting Policy. Security reports go to info@deflockhuntsvilleal.com. For privacy questions or requests concerning your petition information, use the campaign contact below.

We may update this policy as the campaign or website changes. The date at the top of this page identifies the most recent revision.
