Last updated: July 1, 2026
House Republican Organizational Committee (“HROC,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) is a Washington State political committee supporting the election of Republican candidates to the Washington State House of Representatives. We are committed to protecting the privacy of everyone who visits our website, contributes to our efforts, or engages with our communications.
This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices available to you. By using this site, you agree to the practices described here. We may update this Policy periodically — the date above reflects the most recent revision. Your continued use of the site after any update constitutes your acceptance of the revised Policy.
When you fill out a form, sign up for updates, make a contribution, volunteer, or otherwise engage with us directly, you may provide:
When you visit our site, certain information is collected automatically through your browser and third-party services we use, including:
This site loads fonts from Google Fonts, and Google may receive your IP address and browser information as part of delivering font files to your browser.
Forms on this site are processed through Formspree (formspree.io). When you submit a form, the contents of the form along with your IP address and the time of submission are transmitted to Formspree, which forwards them to us by email and/or stores them on our behalf. Formspree’s privacy practices are governed by their own privacy policy.
If you opt into our mobile messaging program, we may collect your cell phone number, your carrier’s name, and the date, time, and content of messages you send to us. See the Mobile Messaging & SMS section for full details.
We use the information we collect to:
We do not sell or rent your personal information. We may share information with service providers, vendors, compliance professionals, donation processors, email/SMS platforms, analytics providers, and other entities where necessary to operate the committee, comply with law, process contributions, communicate with supporters, or otherwise support our activities described in this Policy. SMS opt-in data and consent information will not be sold or shared for third-party marketing purposes.
We generally do not share supporter contact information (such as email lists) with outside organizations for commercial or marketing purposes. In limited circumstances where such sharing serves the committee’s purposes (for example, joint events, coalition activity, or required legal disclosure), any sharing will be consistent with this Policy.
We may share information as required by law, including campaign finance disclosure obligations under Washington State law. Contribution information submitted through our pages is subject to public disclosure requirements applicable to Washington political committees.
The following terms govern our Mobile Messaging Program.
By signing up for our Mobile Messaging Program, you consent to receive the following types of text messages from House Republican Organizational Committee:
To stop receiving messages, text STOP at any time. You will receive a confirmation text confirming you have been unsubscribed. After this, you will no longer receive messages from the Program unless you opt back in.
For help, text HELP or contact us at info.hroc@gmail.com or (360) 357-4762. You will receive instructions on how to use the service.
Online contributions to House Republican Organizational Committee are processed through Anedot (anedot.com), a third-party campaign fundraising platform. We do not store your full credit card or banking information on our servers — payment processing is handled entirely by Anedot, which maintains its own security standards and privacy policy.
By making a contribution through our donation page, you are also subject to Anedot’s terms of service and privacy policy. You must be 18 years of age or older to make a contribution. Processing fees may apply and are subject to change at Anedot’s discretion. All transactions are final and non-refundable except as required by law.
Washington State campaign finance law requires us to collect and publicly disclose certain donor information — including name, mailing address, employer, and occupation — for contributions above applicable reporting thresholds. By making a contribution, you acknowledge that this information may appear in public campaign finance filings with the Washington State Public Disclosure Commission (PDC).
If you provide your email during the donation process, we may send you campaign-related communications. You may unsubscribe at any time via the link at the bottom of any email. We send emails through Mailchimp. SMS opt-in data is never shared with third parties.
We use cookies — small files stored in your browser — to improve your experience and understand how visitors use our site. Cookies help us remember your preferences and analyze traffic patterns.
We use Google Analytics (GA4) to collect anonymized data about site usage, including pages visited and time on site. This data is aggregated and does not identify individual users. Our GA4 configuration anonymizes IP addresses and disables advertising personalization signals. The information is used solely to improve the website and our outreach efforts.
You can control cookie behavior through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block, delete, or receive warnings about cookies. Disabling cookies may limit some functionality of the site. To opt out of Google Analytics tracking across sites, you can install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

If you sign up to receive email updates, we will send you newsletters, event invitations, fundraising appeals, and volunteer opportunities. We send these emails through Mailchimp, which receives and stores your email address and engagement data (such as opens and clicks) in order to deliver and report on the messages.
You may unsubscribe at any time using the link at the bottom of any email. Unsubscribe requests are processed immediately. We do not share or rent email subscriber lists with outside organizations or with any third party for commercial or marketing purposes.
We use trusted third-party services to operate this website, including:
Each of these services operates under its own privacy policy. We encourage you to review them if you have questions about how they handle data. We do not authorize these services to use your information for their own marketing purposes.
Pages on this site may include embedded content such as videos, social media posts, or images hosted by third parties. Embedded content behaves as if you had visited the originating website directly — those sites may set their own cookies, collect data about you, and track your interactions with the embedded content.
We use industry-standard security measures to protect your personal information, including SSL/TLS encryption for data transmitted through this site. However, no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure. While we work hard to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security and encourage you to use caution when sharing sensitive information online.

Limitations on deletion requests: Deletion requests do not apply to records we are legally required to maintain or disclose, including campaign finance records (per Washington State PDC retention requirements — typically 3 to 5 years), contribution records, refund records, compliance records, and records needed to document SMS consent, email opt-in, unsubscribe, or opt-out status under TCPA and CAN-SPAM. Deletion requests may also be limited where data is needed to protect our legal interests or to respond to law enforcement requests. We will honor deletion requests for any data not subject to these retention obligations.
