Information Sent to Campaigns

When you contribute to candidates and committees on ActBlue, we are required to collect your name, postal address, phone number, email address, occupation, employer, and employer's address, and to send this information along with your donation. We also record this information alongside your contribution amounts and recipients in our reports to the FEC or the respective state agency. Each candidate receiving your donations may also include this information in their campaign finance reports. ActBlue submits its campaign finance reports on a rolling basis, as required by state and/or federal law. FEC reports containing this information are publicly available from the FEC web site. State reports are typically available through the state agency designated to oversee campaigns and elections.

Credit Card Information

We securely transmit your credit card information to Chase Paymentech (our payment processor), and do not store this information unless you have specifically requested a recurring contribution. We also request your phone number and email address when you contribute so that we can reach you should further verification of your credit card information be required.

Reports to fundraising page authors

Authors of fundraising pages receive reports about donations made through the web pages they create. These reports include the dates, amounts, and recipients of these contributions.
