Mobilize's Data Firewall

Learn about our in-product firewall and how it affects event and signup data

Updated over 2 weeks ago

Dashboard admins can designate their organization's legal status as independent expenditure (IE) , electoral coordinated, or nonelectoral based on the work they're doing on Mobilize. In compliance with FEC regulations, Mobilize enforces restrictions on what data can be shared between IE and coordinated-side entities when using the promotion and co-ownership features.

Here's how it works for promotions:

  • IEs can promote coordinated organizations but some data about signups they recruit to coordinated events will be masked:

    • Promoting organization cannot see event title or details, signup status, or post-shift feedback.

    • Promoted organization cannot see who the promoting organization is.

  • Coordinated organizations cannot promote IEs.

  • Nonelectoral orgs can promote any other organization and vice versa, and no data is masked.

Here's how it works for co-ownership:

  • IEs and coordinated organizations cannot co-own events with each other.

  • IEs and coordinated organizations may be able to co-own events with electoral organizations as determined by Mobilize Support on a case-by-case basis.
