3. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to communicate with you about the campaign, events, and volunteer opportunities; process and issue receipts for donations and comply with campaign finance disclosure laws; coordinate volunteer activities and canvassing efforts; improve our website and understand how visitors use it; respond to inquiries and requests; comply with legal and regulatory obligations, including reporting to Elections Manitoba or the City of Winnipeg’s election authority as required; and conduct outreach, polling, or voter identification activities associated with the campaign. We do not sell your personal information.
4. Legal Basis for Donor and Voter Information
Under Manitoba’s municipal election finance rules, campaigns for civic office are generally required to publicly disclose the names, addresses, and contribution amounts of donors who contribute above a certain threshold. By donating to this campaign, you acknowledge that this information may be reported to election authorities and may become part of the public record, as required by law.
5. Sharing Your Information
We may share your information with service providers who help us operate the campaign, such as payment processors (e.g., Stripe), email and SMS communication platforms, campaign management/CRM software, and website hosting providers. These providers are only permitted to use your information to perform services on our behalf.
We may also share information with election authorities, as required by The Elections Act (Manitoba) and applicable municipal election finance laws; volunteers and campaign staff on a need-to-know basis for canvassing and voter outreach; and legal authorities when required by a subpoena, court order, other legal process, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of the Campaign or others.
We do not share your information with third parties for their own independent marketing purposes without your consent.
