Last Updated: December 23, 2025

This Privacy Policy explains how Southwest Florida Young Republicans (“SWFLYR,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, and shares information about you when you visit or use www.swflyr.com (the “Site”), interact with our online forms, purchase a membership, make a donation, register for events, or otherwise communicate with us.

Payment card information is typically collected directly by our payment processor(s) and/or platform provider; we generally receive limited information such as confirmation, transaction date, amount, and donor/purchaser contact information.

Important note about political-related information:
