I still get tons of political calls, texts, and emails from donations I made around 2016 and 2020. Is there any organization I can use to donate money that won't harass me in the future or sell my data to someone else who will?

(I got a text soliciting a political donation while I was typing this question!)

Also, I'd be amazed if they didn't have a way to get contact information from non-political sources. Like, off the top of my head - if I'm running a Dem campaign I'd be talking to every car dealership I could and seeing if I can buy their list of people who signed up for updates on EV availability to see if I can turn some of those people to donors, and I'm pretty certain there's no laws or regulations that would stop them from doing that.

This kind of technique is very clever. I've done this when looking for potential employers. I don't know what it's called.
