Overview
Pachand (pachand.com) provides campaign finance intelligence tools for political professionals. This page describes how we handle information when you use our website and services.
Privacy policy
Information we collect
- Account details you provide at signup (name, email, password hash via our auth provider).
- Watchlist committees, alert preferences, and notification history associated with your account.
- Billing identifiers when you subscribe (processed by Stripe; we do not store full payment card numbers).
- Standard server and product logs (IP address, browser type, pages viewed, error diagnostics).
How we use information
- Operate the command dashboard, maps, alerts, and exports.
- Send email or SMS alerts you configure.
- Process subscriptions and provide support.
- Improve reliability, security, and product quality.
Sharing
We use infrastructure and delivery vendors (hosting, email, SMS, payments, maps) to run the service. We do not sell your personal information. We may disclose information when required by law or to protect the security and rights of Pachand, our users, or others.
Retention & security
We retain account and alert data while your account is active and for a reasonable period afterward. We apply industry-standard safeguards, but no online service can guarantee absolute security.
Your choices
You may update alert preferences in Settings, request account deletion by contacting support@pachand.com, or adjust marketing communications by unsubscribing from alert emails where applicable.
Data sources
Filings and contribution data are sourced from the U.S. Federal Election Commission public APIs and e-file systems. ZIP-level aggregates may incorporate U.S. Census Bureau enrichment. Map tiles are provided by third-party mapping services.
Pachand displays contribution geography at the ZIP code level only, using aggregate totals. We do not show individual donor names, street addresses, cities, states, employers, or occupations in alerts, maps, or exports — even when those fields appear on public FEC filings. Itemized contribution exports are not available.
Users may not use Pachand to solicit contributions, build contributor contact lists, enrich donor databases, target individual contributors, or market to people identified in FEC records.
Pachand is an independent product and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated on behalf of the FEC, any campaign, or any government agency.
Cookies
We use essential cookies and local storage to keep you signed in and to operate the application. We do not use third-party advertising cookies.
