‍

Cookies, Analytics & Similar Technologies

The Site may use cookies, pixels, tags and similar technologies to operate the Site, understand visitor behavior and measure the effectiveness of communications.

These technologies may collect information such as your browser type, device information, IP address, pages viewed, referring source and interactions with the Site.

We may use third-party analytics and technology providers to help us understand Site traffic and performance.

Where required by applicable law, visitors will be provided appropriate choices regarding nonessential cookies or similar technologies.

You can also change your browser settings to block or delete cookies. Some Site features may function differently if cookies are disabled.
‍

Analytics & Advertising Technologies

SDF may use analytics technologies to understand how visitors reach and interact with the Site and to evaluate the effectiveness of voter education communications.

If advertising or social media technologies are used on the Site, those providers may receive device, browser or interaction information according to their own privacy policies.

SDF does not use Site analytics to infer an individual visitor’s position on Measure B or how that individual intends to vote.
‍

Third-Party Services

The Site relies on third-party technology providers to perform certain functions.

For example, email subscriptions may be processed through an email service provider, and Site traffic may be measured through analytics services. When you interact with these services, information may be processed by those providers on SDF’s behalf.

We encourage you to review the privacy policies of third-party services when appropriate.
‍

Links to Other Websites

The Site contains links to websites operated by third parties, including government agencies, community organizations and other information sources.

San Diego Foundation is not responsible for the privacy practices, security or content of websites that we do not operate. When you leave this Site, the privacy policy of the destination website applies.
‍

Data Security

San Diego Foundation uses reasonable administrative, technical and organizational measures designed to protect personal information from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration or disclosure.

No website, electronic transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. You should use care when deciding what information to submit online.
‍

Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, comply with legal obligations, maintain appropriate business records and protect our rights.

Email subscriber information may be retained as part of San Diego Foundation’s broader communications database after the November 2026 election unless you unsubscribe or request deletion where applicable.
‍

Children’s Privacy

The Site is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under age 13.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 through the Site. If we learn that we have collected such information without appropriate authorization, we will take reasonable steps to delete it.

A parent or guardian who believes a child under 13 has provided personal information through the Site may contact us at measureb@sdfoundation.org.
