As a candidate for municipal council, I am committed to protecting the privacy and personal information of all residents who engage with my campaign. I recognize that trust is the foundation of open communication, and I will ensure that any information shared with me is handled with the highest level of confidentiality and care.

​

This policy aligns with the principles of transparency, accountability, and responsible governance reflected in the Municipal Government Act (MGA), particularly its provisions on the collection, use, and disclosure of information by municipal bodies.

​

1. Information Collection
During the course of my campaign, I may collect:

• Contact details (e.g., name, phone number, email address, mailing address).

• Information related to municipal issues you wish to discuss or bring forward.

• Feedback or input on community priorities.

All information will be collected directly from you with your consent, and only for the purpose of campaign communication and engagement.

​

2. Use of Information
Your personal information will be used solely to:

• Respond to inquiries and provide campaign updates.

• Seek your input on municipal matters.

• Invite you to campaign events or consultations.

No personal information will be sold, traded, or disclosed to third parties, except where required by law or with your explicit consent.

​

3. Information Protection
I will take reasonable measures to safeguard your information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. This includes secure storage of both physical and electronic records, consistent with the MGA’s intent to manage information responsibly.

​

4. Access and Correction
You have the right to request access to the personal information I hold about you, and to request corrections if you believe it is inaccurate or incomplete, reflecting the public rights.

​

5. Retention and Disposal
Personal information will be retained only for as long as it is needed for campaign purposes. Once the election period is over, information will be securely destroyed, unless you have consented to future communications.

​

6. Questions or Concerns
