COMMITMENT TO YOUR PRIVACY
This site is owned and maintained by Madison Republican Committee. Your privacy on the Internet is of the utmost importance to us. At Madison Republican Committee, we want to make your experience online both satisfying and safe.
Because we gather certain types of information about our users, we feel you should fully understand the terms and conditions surrounding the capture and use of that information. This privacy statement discloses what information we gather and how we use it.
The Madison Republican Committee gathers two types of information about users:
- Information that users provide through optional, voluntary submissions. These are voluntary submissions which may include requests to receive our electronic newsletters, to participate in our message boards or forums, to email a friend, or from participation in polls and surveys.
- Information Madison Republican Committee gathers through aggregated tracking information derived mainly by tallying page views throughout our sites. This information allows us to better tailor our content to readers' needs and to help our advertisers and sponsors better understand the demographics of our audience.

Madison Republican Committee Gathers User Information In The Following Processes:
OPTIONAL VOLUNTARY INFORMATION
We may offer the following free services, which require some type of voluntary submission of personal information by users:
- Electronic newsletters We will offer a free electronic newsletter to users. Madison Republican Committee gathers the email addresses of users who voluntarily subscribe. Users may remove themselves from this mailing list by e-mailing a request to unsubscribe from the form found on our Contact Us page, or be sending their request directly from the address they subscribed to receive our newsletters. Madison Republican Committee reserves the right to disallow an email newsletter subscription for any reason, at its sole discretion. A permanent record of all email newsletters subscription requests, and unsubscribe requests are maintained to combat potential claims of distribution of unsolicited email.
- Polling We may offer interactive polls to users so they can easily share their opinions with other users and see what our audience thinks about important issues. Opinions or other responses to polls are aggregated and are not identifiable to any particular user. Madison Republican Committee may use a system to "tag" users after they have voted, so they can vote only once on a particular question. This tag is not correlated with information about individual users.
- Surveys.Madison Republican Committee may occasionally conduct user surveys to better target our content to our audience. We may sometimes share the aggregated demographic information in these surveys with our partners. We never share any of this information about specific individuals with any third party.
