Privacy Policy
What is "Personal Information"?
"Personal information" is information about an identifiable individual. It includes contact information such as your name, address, phone number, and financial information.
Collecting Personal Information
Elections Canada provides all registered and eligible political parties with a list of electors, including names and postal addresses. We also collect information from publicly available data sources (e.g., phone book, the Internet).
We also obtain information that you choose to give us. You may do so in a variety of ways, including:
-
Through voter outreach activities, such as door-to-door canvassing and voter contact phone calls.
-
When you visit our website for the purpose of becoming involved with the Party as a member, volunteer or donor.
-
When you subscribe to our communications.
-
If you register at an event or at a Party convention.
-
If you complete a registration or donation form either electronically or on paper.
-
If you complete any other form on a Green Party website, including online petitions.
-
It is also possible that your information could be provided to us by a volunteer or friend who thinks you would be interested in getting involved with the RPC.
What Information is Collected?
The information we collect may include:
-
Contact and identification information, such as your name, address, telephone numbers, email address and social media contacts.
-
Donation information such as date and amount of your donation.
-
Financial information that we need to process your donation e.g. payment methods and preferences, billing and banking information (e.g. credit card number and expiry date).
-
Information you share about your voting preferences or the issues that matter most to you.
Usage of Personal Information
We use your personal information to communicate with you about the RPC and its activities, as well as to provide you with news and information. We use your financial information to process your contributions. If you have been a contributor in the past, we may contact you again to seek your financial support.
We will not, without your consent, use your personal information for any purpose other than as described in this privacy policy, except where permitted or required by applicable legislation. For example, under the Canada Elections Act, we are required to provide Elections Canada with our donors’ names, addresses and contribution amounts.
We do not sell personal information under any circumstance and do not conduct micro-targeting.
Given that the RPC is a national organization, personal information may be shared internally, for instance between the Party and its electoral district associations, candidates, nomination contestants and leadership contestants. In addition, we may engage third party providers to perform tasks on our behalf, such as processing your donation, making phone calls and providing technical services to our website. When information is shared with third parties for these purposes, we include privacy protective clauses in written contracts to help safeguard personal information.
Accuracy of Personal Information
You may update or correct the information in our possession at any time by contacting us.
