DIESEL POWER SOURCE
PRIVATE MEMBERSHIP ASSOCIATION
ONLINE PRIVACY POLICY
- SCOPE AND CONSTITUTIONAL FOUNDATION
The Diesel Power Source Private Membership Association (“Association”), together with Diesel Power Source, LLC (“DPS”, “we,” “our,” or “us”), a member of the Association, is committed to protecting the personal information of its members and website visitors. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website, www.DieselPowerSource.com (“Website”), and use our services. By accessing or using our Website, you agree to the practices described in this policy.
This Association operates as a Private Membership Association in the private domain, organized under common law and protected by the First, Fourth, Fifth, Ninth, Tenth, and Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution. The privacy protections described in this policy are in addition to—not a substitute for—the constitutional protections afforded to the Association and its members under the U.S. Constitution and the Association’s Articles of Association.
The United States Supreme Court has consistently held that the privacy of one’s associations is constitutionally shielded from unjustified government intrusion, that compelled disclosure of associational ties is subject to exacting scrutiny and must be narrowly tailored (Americans for Prosperity Foundation v. Bonta, 594 U.S. 595 (2021)), and that an official demand for private member or donor information itself causes an immediate First Amendment injury, even before enforcement. First Choice Women’s Res. Ctrs., Inc. v. Davenport, No. 24-781, 608 U.S. ___ (2026) (unanimous).
If you do not agree with the terms of this policy, please refrain from using the Website.

All records maintained by the Association are constitutionally protected by multiple, interlocking provisions, including: First Amendment associational privacy (requiring exacting scrutiny for any compelled disclosure of membership, donor, or internal associational records); Fourth Amendment reasonableness (requiring lawful authority, relevance, specificity, and pre-compliance judicial review per City of L.A. v. Patel, 576 U.S. 409 (2015)); and the exclusionary protections of Silverthorne Lumber Co. v. United States, 251 U.S. 385 (1920) (barring use of records discovered through prior unlawful government conduct).
- DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION
Constitutional Standard for Government Demands. We will not disclose member information, membership records, donor information, or internal Association records to any government entity, regulatory body, law enforcement authority, or judicial branch unless compelled by a lawfully issued order that has satisfied the constitutional requirements of exacting scrutiny as established by the United States Supreme Court. NAACP v. Alabama ex rel. Patterson, 357 U.S. 449 (1958); Americans for Prosperity Foundation v. Bonta, 594 U.S. 595 (2021); First Choice Women’s Res. Ctrs., Inc. v. Davenport, No. 24-781, 608 U.S. ___ (2026).
The Association will challenge any government demand for member information that does not meet this constitutional standard. The Association will seek injunctive relief, assert all available constitutional defenses, and pursue civil rights remedies under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 against any government actor who violates the associational privacy rights of the Association or its members. Any government entity or agent that violates these rights may also be subject to criminal liability under 18 U.S.C. § 242.
Member Records. Records maintained by the Association will be released only upon the written request of the member to whom they pertain and shall not be shared in the public domain without the express written consent of both the Association and the member.
Limited Non-Government Disclosures. We may disclose personal information in the following limited, non-government circumstances:
- To trusted service providers who assist us in operating the Website, processing payments, or fulfilling orders, provided they agree to keep your information confidential and use it solely for the purposes we specify.
- In connection with a business transaction (e.g., merger, acquisition, or sale), provided the successor entity agrees to be bound by the privacy protections set forth in this policy and the Association’s Articles of Association.
- To protect and defend the rights, property, or safety of the Association, its members, or the public in the context of a legal proceeding initiated by or against the Association.

- CONSTITUTIONAL NOTICE
This Privacy Policy is issued by a private membership association operating under the protection of the First and Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution. The freedom to associate privately for lawful purposes is an indispensable liberty. The right to contract privately is protected by the Due Process Clauses of the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments. Privacy of one’s associations is constitutionally shielded from unjustified government intrusion. Association is a “basic constitutional freedom.” Buckley v. Valeo, 424 U.S. 1, 25 (1976). Compelled disclosure of associational ties must survive exacting scrutiny and be narrowly tailored. Americans for Prosperity Foundation v. Bonta, 594 U.S. 595 (2021). An official demand for member or donor information itself causes an immediate First Amendment injury. First Choice Women’s Res. Ctrs., Inc. v. Davenport, No. 24-781, 608 U.S. ___ (2026) (unanimous). Any government entity or agent that violates the constitutional rights of this Association or its members may be subject to civil liability under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 and criminal liability under 18 U.S.C. § 242.
