Effective Date: August 23, 2026
Laurie Solis for Austin ISD District 7 ("Campaign," "we," "us," or "our") respects your privacy and is committed to being transparent about how we collect, use, and protect information provided through this campaign website.
This Privacy Policy explains how information may be collected and used when you visit or interact with our website, sign up for campaign communications, volunteer, contact the campaign, or make a political contribution.
1. Information We Collect
Depending on how you interact with our website, we may collect information such as:
Your name, email address, mailing address, telephone number, and other contact information you voluntarily provide.
Information you provide when signing up for campaign updates, volunteering, attending an event, submitting a question, or contacting the campaign.
Information related to political contributions, including information required to comply with applicable Texas campaign-finance laws.
Information automatically collected when you visit our website, such as IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited, and general website usage information.
Information you voluntarily provide in surveys, petitions, forms, or other campaign activities.
We do not intentionally collect sensitive personal information unless it is necessary for a specific campaign purpose or required by law.
2. How We Use Information
We may use information we collect to:
Communicate with you about the campaign, events, volunteer opportunities, and campaign activities.
Respond to questions, comments, or requests.
Coordinate volunteers and campaign activities.
Process and acknowledge political contributions.

3. Political Contributions
If you make a political contribution to the campaign, we may be required under Texas law to collect, maintain, and report certain contributor information.
Texas law requires candidates and campaign treasurers to maintain records of reportable campaign activity. Certain contribution information, including a contributor's name and address, may be required to be included in campaign-finance reports filed with the appropriate filing authority. Information contained in filed campaign-finance reports may therefore become public information as provided by Texas law.
We do not sell contributor information.

Website hosting providers;
Email and communications platforms;
Contribution-processing platforms;
Event-registration or volunteer-management platforms;

Other vendors providing services necessary to operate the campaign.
These service providers may access information only as reasonably necessary to provide services to the campaign.
We may also disclose information when required by law, including to comply with Texas campaign-finance reporting requirements, legal processes, or lawful requests from governmental authorities.
6. Cookies and Website Analytics
Our website may use cookies or similar technologies to operate the website, remember preferences, understand website traffic, and improve the user experience.
