Data and Privacy Policy

We are committed to ensuring the privacy of the data that you give us. That means we will not share your data with any other organization, unless legally required, or in the case of third party service providers, where such service provider has agreed to confidentiality terms no less strict than we maintain ourselves. 

​

Our commitment to your privacy includes only allowing access to those people who have committed to maintaining your privacy and deleting your data at the end of the campaign.

NoThanks.Vote is a registered Third Party Advertiser, which means we are required to report certain information to Elections Alberta. The requirements for that reporting can be found here. 

​

We may retain a back up of your data for a period of time for the sole purpose of  ensuring compliance with all legal requirements, including but not limited to the Election Finances and Contributions Disclosure Act (Alberta). 

How do we obtain your personal information and what do we obtain?
