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. Donors who gave less than $200 to a candidate are not named individually — they're counted in candidate summaries but not listed by name. This matches the disclosure threshold used across the site (see About).
