[CORRECTED] More on the Coleman campaign donor breach

Posted on March 12, 2009 by Dissent

The Minnesota Independent, which has been all over this breach since back in January, has a report from Chris Steller today which quotes the campaign web site privacy policy as it was in effect in January 2008 and as it is now. According to the news story, the site’s stated privacy policy in January read, in part, “We do not retain records of contributors’ credit card numbers.”

As Wikileaks.org points out on their site, retaining the security codes may have violated Minnesota law H.F. 1758. But apart from that issue, there is now the additional issue of potentially violating a stated privacy policy. So when did the campaign start retaining credit card numbers and when did they change their privacy policy? The date created field in the donors list indicates that the first donor’s entry was created on March 19, 2008 and that the last one was created January 6, 2009.
