Policy Statement
Voted By The People is committed to protecting the security of visitors, clients, supporters, and partners who use our website and related online services. This SSL Policy explains how we use Secure Sockets Layer / Transport Layer Security (“SSL/TLS”) technology to help protect information transmitted through our website.
Our Commitment to Secure Connections
Our website uses SSL/TLS encryption to help secure data transmitted between your browser and our website. When SSL/TLS is active, information sent through the site is encrypted in transit, which helps reduce the risk that unauthorized parties can intercept sensitive data.
The FTC describes HTTPS/SSL-TLS as a tool that helps authenticate the site and encrypt communications, and Florida law requires covered entities to take reasonable measures to protect personal information in electronic form.
How to Identify a Secure Session
When you visit pages on our website that are protected by SSL/TLS, your browser should display:
- “https://” at the beginning of the web address; and/or
- a padlock icon in the browser address bar.
These indicators generally show that data sent between your browser and our website is encrypted in transit.
Information Protected by SSL/TLS
SSL/TLS helps protect information submitted through our website, which may include:
- contact form submissions
- account or login information, if applicable
- payment or donation information, if applicable
- email signup details
- other personal or business information submitted through online forms
Encryption in transit is an important safeguard, but it does not guarantee absolute security. No website, server, or internet transmission is ever fully immune from cybersecurity risks.
Scope of This Policy
This SSL Policy applies only to information transmitted through our website using our secured pages and services. It does not apply to:
- third-party websites linked from our site
- third-party payment processors, platforms, or tools not controlled by us
- transmissions made through unsecured channels outside our website
Users should review the privacy, security, and legal policies of any third-party services they use in connection with our website.
User Responsibilities
While we work to maintain secure website connections, users also play a role in protecting their information. You should:
- use an up-to-date browser
- avoid submitting confidential information over unsecured public Wi‑Fi when possible
- verify that the website address begins with “https://”
- protect your own devices, passwords, and network connections
No Guarantee of Absolute Security
Although we take reasonable steps to protect data transmitted through our website, no security technology or transmission method can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. By using this website, you acknowledge that you provide information at your own risk, subject to the protections and limitations described in this policy and our other website terms.
Florida Governing Law
This SSL Policy shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to its conflict of law principles.
Florida's data security statute requires reasonable measures to protect and secure data in electronic form containing personal information.
Updates to This Policy
We may update or revise this SSL Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our website, technology, legal requirements, or business practices. Any updates will be posted on this page with a revised effective date.
