Privacy & the contributions file

Contributions are exported in the same per-campaign aggregated form used on candidate pages: one row per donor per candidate, with the cumulative total and number of contributions. Individuals who gave less than $200 to a candidate are not named — they're counted in candidate summaries but not listed by name. Organizations, businesses, and PACs are listed at any amount. This matches the disclosure threshold used across the site (see About).
