Privacy Policy
The Texas Outside Money Index is published by the Texas Nationalist Movement, Inc. This policy explains what information the site collects when you visit it, and what it does with that information. It is short because the site collects very little.
What the site is built from
The figures on this site come from public campaign-finance records filed with the Texas Ethics Commission and the Federal Election Commission. Those records are public by law. Information about the candidates, officeholders, committees, and contributors shown on the site is drawn from those public filings, not collected from you. How that data is used is described on the methodology page.
Information the site collects from you
Analytics. The site uses Google Analytics to understand how it is used, such as which pages are visited and roughly where visitors come from. Google Analytics sets cookies and receives your device and browser information and your IP address; IP addresses are anonymized. This information is aggregate and is not used to identify you. Google's handling of it is governed by Google's own privacy terms.
Corrections. If you use the corrections form to report a problem with a figure, the site collects what you enter: the profile, your description of the problem, any sources you add, and your email address if you choose to provide one. Providing an email is optional. This information is used only to review and respond to the correction, and is delivered to us by email through the email service Mailgun.
The site has no user accounts, no logins, and no advertising trackers beyond the analytics described above. It does not sell or rent any information.
Cookies
The only cookies the site sets are analytics cookies from Google Analytics. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, and you can install Google's Analytics opt-out browser add-on to stop Analytics from measuring your visits.
Service providers
The site relies on a small number of providers: Google (Analytics), Mailgun (delivery of correction reports), and the site's hosting provider. Each receives only what it needs to perform its function.
Children
The site is not directed to children and does not knowingly collect information from them.
Changes
This policy may be updated. The date at the top shows when it last changed.
