ActBlue Isn’t Selling Your Data
This misunderstanding not only damages trust in one of our most important fundraising tools but also obscures where the real issue lies. It is true that your data is being sold. And it is true that you’re getting spam. But ActBlue didn’t sell your data because ActBlue doesn’t own your data. This is written all over their website:
We never sell or share your personal information with anyone beyond the group you gave to, and ActBlue will never text you. Even if you get a link to donate on ActBlue in a text or email, it comes from a group that uses our tools, not us.
How can I report unwanted communications from campaigns or organizations or a potential violation of ActBlue’s terms and policies?
When you donate using our platform, we do not sell your contact information or share it with third parties, except the group you donated to, or in certain circumstances, such as at your direction or when required by law.
ActBlue does not sell your contact information to third parties, and we don’t send solicitations, such as text messages or emails, on behalf of the individuals and organizations that use ActBlue for fundraising, including political committees and campaigns.
