Ohio Forward Fund (“Ohio Forward Fund,” “we,” “us” or “our”) runs FireMattHuffman.com (the “Site”). This policy explains what information we collect when you visit the Site or take action through it, how we use it and the choices you have. By using the Site, you agree to this policy.

1. Information we collect

Information you give us

When you fill out a form on the Site, such as a sign-up or take-action form, we collect what you enter. That can include your first and last name, email address, mobile phone number, street address, city, ZIP code, the text of any message you write or edit, and whether you agreed to receive text messages.

Information collected automatically

When you visit the Site, we and our service providers may automatically collect your IP address, browser and device type, operating system, the pages you view, the time and date of your visit, and the website that referred you. We collect this through cookies, pixels and similar tools.

2. How we use your information

• To deliver the messages you ask us to send to members of the Ohio House of Representatives.
• To send you updates, action alerts and other communications by email or, if you opted in, by text message.
• To operate, maintain and improve the Site.
• To understand how visitors use the Site and to measure the reach of our advertising.
• To detect and prevent spam, fraud and abuse.
• To comply with the law and respond to lawful requests.

3. Messages you send to legislators

When you use a take-action tool on the Site, we send your message to the offices of the members of the Ohio House it is addressed to. That message includes your name, street address, city, ZIP code and email address, plus your phone number if you gave one, so offices can confirm you are a real Ohioan and reply to you directly.

Once a message is delivered, how each office stores and uses it is up to that office, not us. Communications sent to public officials in Ohio may be public records that can be released under Ohio’s public records law.

4. Text messaging

If you opt in to text messages, we use your mobile number to send the messages you agreed to receive. We do not sell, rent or share your mobile phone number or text message opt-in consent with third parties or affiliates for their own marketing or promotional purposes. We share them only with the service providers that help us send messages on our behalf. See our Terms of Service for full text messaging terms. You can reply STOP at any time to stop receiving texts.

5. How we share your information

We do not sell your personal information. We share it only as follows:

• Legislative offices: as described in section 3, when you use a take-action tool.
• Service providers: companies that host the Site, send email and text messages, process data or provide analytics for us. They may use your information only to perform services for us.
• Legal reasons: when we believe in good faith that the law, a court order or a government request requires it, or to protect the rights, property or safety of Ohio Forward Fund, our users or others.
• Organizational changes: if Ohio Forward Fund merges with, is acquired by or transfers its assets to another organization, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction.

We may share aggregated information that does not identify you, such as the total number of messages sent.

6. Cookies and analytics

We may use cookies and tools such as Google Analytics and advertising pixels from platforms like Meta to understand how the Site is used and to measure our outreach. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, and you can opt out of Google Analytics with Google’s browser add-on. Turning off cookies may affect how parts of the Site work.

7. Email

You can unsubscribe from our emails at any time using the link at the bottom of any email we send, or by emailing us at info@firematthuffman.com.

8. How long we keep information

We keep personal information for as long as we need it for the purposes described in this policy, or as long as the law requires.

9. Security

We use reasonable safeguards to protect your information. No website or method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

10. Children

The Site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If we learn we have collected information from a child under 13, we will delete it.

11. Your choices

You can ask us to access, correct or delete the personal information we hold about you, or to stop contacting you, by emailing us at info@firematthuffman.com. We will respond within a reasonable time. Messages already delivered to legislative offices cannot be recalled.

12. Links to other websites

The Site links to other websites, including the Ohio House of Representatives. We are not responsible for their content or privacy practices, so please review their policies.

13. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will post the new version here and change the effective date above. Continuing to use the Site after a change means you accept the updated policy.
