How Newlin for Georgia handles the information you share with us — what we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have.
Effective May 5, 2026
This Privacy Policy applies to Newlin for Georgia Inc., the principal candidate committee for Jeff Newlin, Republican candidate for Georgia State Senate District 41. When this policy says "we," "us," or "our," that's who we mean. It covers our public websites — including newlinforgeorgia.com, the campaign-manager subdomain, and the public pages at compare.newlinforgeorgia.com — and the email and text messages we send.
The information we collect falls into four buckets:
Information you give us directly. When you fill out a form on our site — to volunteer, to receive updates, to tell us you'll be at an event, or to give us your contact information after meeting Jeff — we collect what you provide. Typically that's your name, email, phone number, address (or just ZIP), and any optional notes about your interests or how you want to help.
Information about your messages. If you email us, we keep your message and our reply. If we send you campaign emails, we may track whether you opened them or clicked the links so we know which messages are useful and which to retire. If we text you, we keep the message history and your opt-in / opt-out status.
Anonymous information about your visit. Our web server logs the page you requested, the page you came from, your browser type, and a one-way hash of your IP address and browser fingerprint so we can count unique visitors without storing anything that points back to you. If you arrived via a link with tracking parameters (utm_source, utm_campaign, etc.), we keep those so we know which outreach is working. We use Google Analytics 4 — see the Cookies and analytics section below.
Anonymous quiz and survey responses. If you take a quiz or survey on our site (for example, the candidate-comparison quiz), we save your answers and your final score. By default these responses are anonymous — they're not tied to your name unless you choose to sign up for updates afterward.
We use what you share with us to run the campaign:
We don't sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties without your permission. Period. We don't share our supporter list with allied campaigns, party committees, or PACs. If a partner asks for our list, the answer is no unless you specifically opt in.
We do work with a small number of trusted service providers who help us operate the campaign. They only ever see the information they need to do their job, and they're bound by their own contracts and privacy commitments. The list:
We may also share information when required by law — for example, in response to a subpoena, or to comply with Georgia campaign-finance disclosure rules described in section 6.
If we ever change this list, we'll update this page.
Email. If you give us your email, we may send you campaign updates, event invitations, fundraising appeals, and occasional surveys. Every email we send includes an unsubscribe link. One click opts you out of future bulk email; we'll honor it within a few business days at most.
Text messages. If you give us your mobile number, you may receive campaign text messages from us. By providing your number, you consent to receive these messages from Newlin for Georgia at the number provided. Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP at any time to opt out. Reply HELP for help. Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages.
Contributions to Newlin for Georgia are processed by Anedot, our donation-platform partner. Anedot collects the information needed to process the contribution — name, address, employer, occupation, and payment information — and submits it to us so we can comply with Georgia campaign-finance disclosure rules.
Public-disclosure note. Georgia law requires candidate committees to publicly disclose, by name and address, contributors who give over the disclosure threshold. That information ends up on the campaign-finance reports filed with the Georgia Government Transparency and Campaign Finance Commission — those reports are public records. We don't choose this; it's how candidate-committee transparency works in Georgia. If this matters to you, please consider it before contributing.
We never store your full credit-card or bank-account number on our servers. Payment processing happens on Anedot's PCI-compliant infrastructure.
We use a small number of cookies and similar technologies:
We do not currently use Meta Pixel, advertising-network retargeting cookies, or similar third-party advertising tools. If we add any in the future, we'll list them here and update this page's effective date.
Most browsers let you control or delete cookies. The "Do Not Track" browser signal isn't a uniform standard yet, so we don't claim to respond to it specifically — but the unsubscribe and opt-out steps in section 8 apply regardless.
Stop receiving email. Click the unsubscribe link at the bottom of any email we've sent. One click and you're off the list.
Stop receiving text messages. Reply STOP to any text from us. That's the fastest way; carriers process it immediately.
Update or delete your information. Write to us at the address in section 13 and tell us what you want changed or removed. We'll respond within a reasonable time. Some records (such as donation records on file with the campaign-finance authority) we are legally required to keep, but we'll explain anything we can't delete.
Browser settings. Use your browser's privacy settings to block or delete cookies. This may break some site features (most notably the admin sign-up forms), but most public pages will keep working.
Our site is not directed to children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 13. If you believe we've received information from a child under 13, please write to us at the address in section 13 and we'll delete it.
We do our best to protect the information you share with us. The whole site is served over HTTPS. Our database lives on Google Cloud and is accessed only by authenticated administrators. We use industry-standard practices to keep things locked down, and we keep our software up to date.
That said: no system is perfectly secure. If we ever discover a security incident that affects you, we'll do our best to notify you promptly and take corrective action.
If we change anything material in how we handle your information, we'll update this page and change the effective date at the top. For substantial changes — especially anything that expands what we collect or how we share — we'll send a heads-up to subscribers via email. The current version is always the one published here.
