Information collected automatically

Like most websites, our site and its hosting provider (Wix) automatically collect basic technical information when you visit. This includes your browser and device type, IP address, the pages you view, the date and time of your visit and the site that referred you. We use this information in summary form to understand how the site is used and to keep it secure.

To meet our legal obligations, including campaign finance reporting rules if you make a contribution

Email updates

We only send water updates to people who sign up and check the consent box. Every email includes an unsubscribe link, and you can also ask us to remove you at any time by emailing info@grindstaffemwd.com.

How we share information

We do not sell, rent or trade your personal information. We share it only:

With service providers that help us run the site and send email, such as our website host, Wix, and only so they can provide those services
When the law requires it, such as campaign finance disclosure rules or a valid legal request
To protect the safety, rights or security of our visitors, our site or others

Our site uses cookies, which are small files stored in your browser, to make the site work, remember your preferences and measure site traffic. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, though some parts of the site may not work as well without them.

Keeping your information secure

We use reasonable safeguards to protect your information, and our site is served over a secure (HTTPS) connection. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we can’t guarantee absolute security.

You can ask us to show you the personal information we have about you, correct it, or delete it. Email info@grindstaffemwd.com and we’ll respond as soon as we can. Some information, such as contribution records, may need to be kept to meet legal requirements.

Links to other sites

Our site links to other websites, such as EMWD and state agencies. Their privacy practices are their own, so please review their policies.

Children’s privacy

This site is not intended for children under 13, and we don’t knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has sent us information, contact us and we will delete it.
