Welcome to ca.lp.org, the official website of the Libertarian Party of California (“LPCA”, “we”, “us”, “our”). The LPCA is committed to safeguarding our supporters’ information. This Privacy Policy explains our privacy practices, including the information we collect from you when you use our website and other digital and online services (collectively, the “Services”), how we and our affiliated committees may use that information, our rights to share and disclose such information to third parties, how you can review and modify information that you provide to us, and how you can communicate your preferences regarding our use and disclosure of such information.

Additionally, as you browse our website, we collect information about the individual web pages you view, what websites or search terms referred you to our website, and information about how you interact with our website. We refer to this automatically-collected information as “Device Information.”

Additionally when you enroll in our newsletter, make a purchase, or join the LPCA, we collect certain information from you, including your name, billing address, shipping address, payment information, email address,  phone number, and other descriptive information.  We refer to this information as “User Information.”
