Third-Party Content, Advertising and Other Functionality
Some of the content, advertising and functionality on the Services is provided by third parties that are not affiliated with Lincoln-Roosevelt PAC. These entities may collect or receive certain information about your use of the Services, including through the use of cookies, Web beacons, and similar technologies. Lincoln-Roosevelt PAC is not responsible for the privacy practices of these entities.
Links to Third Party Websites
The Services may provide links to other websites that may be of interest to you. We are not responsible for the security or privacy practices of other websites that you use through these links. You should exercise caution when using such websites, and you should read their privacy policies in order to better understand what information they collect about you and how they use it.
Protection of Information
We use reasonable physical, technical, and administrative measures to safeguard information in our possession against loss, theft and unauthorized use, disclosure, or modification. Please note, however, that no data transmission or storage can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect the information we maintain, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information that you transmit to us.
Children’s Information
The Services are intended for a general audience and are not directed at children younger than 13. We do not knowingly collect or store personal information about children under the age of 13 without parental consent, unless permitted by law.
Non-U.S. Users
The Services are intended for a U.S. audience. If you access the Services from outside the United States, please be aware that information you provide to us or that we obtain as a result of your use of the Services may be processed and transferred to the United States and be subject to U.S. law. The privacy and data protection laws in the United States may not be equivalent to such laws in your country of residence. By using our website, participating in any of the Services, or by providing us with your information, you consent to the collection, transfer, storage, and processing of information to and in the United States.
Your California Privacy Rights
If you are a California resident, California Civil Code § 1798.83 permits you to request information regarding the disclosure of your personal information to third parties for those parties’ direct marketing purposes. To make such as request, please send an email to info@lincolnrooseveltpac.com or write to us at Lincoln-Roosevelt PAC, Inc., 1212 New York Avenue NW, Suite 850, Washington, DC, 20005. Please be sure that you reference “California Privacy Rights” in your communication.
Do-Not-Track Signals and Similar Mechanisms.
Some web browsers may transmit “do-not-track” signals to the websites with which the user communicates. Because of differences in how web browsers incorporate and activate this feature, it is not always clear whether users intend for these signals to be transmitted, or whether they even are aware of them. Because there currently is no industry standard concerning what, if anything, websites should do when they receive such signals, the Services currently do not take action in response to these signals. If and when a final standard is established and accepted, we will reassess how to respond to these signals.
Changes to this Privacy Policy
From time to time, we may revise this Privacy Policy to reflect changes to the scope of the Services or for other reasons. Therefore, it is important to check the effective date of the Privacy Policy posted here each time you use the Services. If we make any material revisions to this Privacy Policy, we email you at the email address you have provided or will place a notice on our website. By continuing to use the Services after we make changes, you indicate your consent to those changes.
Questions and Contact Information
We want to assure you that we are dedicated to protecting your privacy. If you have questions or comments about this Privacy Policy, please contact info@lincolnrooseveltpac.com.

This section provides more information about some of those technologies and how they work.
-
Cookies. Cookies are small text files that websites and other online services use to store information about users on the users’ own computers. For example, cookies can be used to store your sign-in credentials so that you do not have to enter them each time you return to a website. Cookies also may be used to store a unique identification number tied to your computer so that a website can recognize you as the same user across different visits to the website. You can configure your Internet browser to warn you each time a cookie is being sent or to refuse cookies completely.
Lincoln-Roosevelt PAC and the third parties that provide content, ads, or functionality on the Services may use cookies to:-
Collect information about your browsing activities in order to provide you with more relevant content and ads, on and off the Services; and
-
Relate the information automatically collected when you use the Services to information we obtain from you directly or from commercially available sources.

-
Other local storage. We, along with third-party partners, use other kinds of local storage, such as Local Shared Objects (also referred to as “Flash cookies”) and HTML5 local storage, in connection with the Services. These technologies are similar to the cookies discussed above in that they are stored on your computer and can be used to store certain information about your activities and preferences. These objects are stored in different parts of your computer from ordinary browser cookies, however. Many Internet browsers allow you to disable HTML5 local storage or delete information contained in HTML5 local storage using browser controls. For information about disabling or deleting information contained in Local Shared Objects, please click here.

Web beacons. We, along with our third-party partners, may also use technologies called Web beacons that communicate information from your Internet browser to a web server. Web beacons can be embedded in web pages, videos, or emails, and can allow a web server to read certain types of information from your browser, check whether you have viewed a particular web page or email message, and determine, among other things, the time and date on which you viewed the Web beacon, the IP address of your computer, and the URL of the web page from which the Web beacon was viewed. We and our partners use Web beacons for a variety of purposes, including analyzing the use of the Services and in conjunction with cookies to provide content and ads that are more relevant to you.
