Your privacy is important to us. The Courtenay-Alberni Conservative Association will respect your privacy through the protection of any of your personal information that you provide to us. We take great care to keep both confidential and secure all personal information in our possession.
As a electoral district association (“riding association”), under the Conservative Party of Canada our candidates and nomination contestants are subject to extensive regulation under the Canada Elections Act, including in particular, public disclosure requirements for contributions over $200.
What is “Personal Information”
“Personal Information” is information about an identifiable individual. It includes information such as name, address, e-mail address, telephone number and other contact information.
Collecting Personal Information
Elections Canada provides all political parties with a list of electors, including names and postal addresses. We collect other information from publicly available data.
We collect personal information from donors and members when they contribute to our Association or purchase a membership. You may also choose to provide us with personal information on a voluntary basis, such as when registering for an event or signing a petition. We are required by law to keep records of donors for tax purposes.
