By submitting information through the website, you consent to the campaign collecting and using that information for the purpose identified on the form.
Submitting a yard-sign request, volunteer application, event invitation, or general question does not automatically subscribe you to campaign email updates.

Withdrawing consent may prevent us from completing a request, such as delivering a campaign sign. Withdrawal may also be subject to legal or recordkeeping requirements.
Cookies and Analytics
This website is hosted by Squarespace and may use cookies required for security, website performance, form operation, and visitor preferences.
The website may also use Google Analytics 4 to collect aggregated information about website traffic and visitor activity. Google may process information according to its own Privacy Policy.
You can limit or disable cookies through your browser settings. Some parts of the website may not function properly if required cookies are disabled.

Professional advisers or election officials, where required
Government, regulatory, or law-enforcement authorities when required by law
For example, a volunteer helping deliver campaign signs may receive the address and contact information required to complete that delivery.
We do not sell or rent personal information. We do not share it for unrelated commercial marketing purposes.
Processing Outside Canada
Some service providers used by the website or campaign may store or process information outside British Columbia or Canada. When information is processed in another jurisdiction, it may be subject to the laws of that jurisdiction.
Protecting Personal Information
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards to protect personal information against unauthorized access, use, disclosure, loss, or alteration.
Access is limited to people who need the information to perform campaign-related responsibilities. However, no website, email service, or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to:
Complete the purpose for which it was collected

The campaign does not control those websites or their privacy practices. You should review the privacy policy of any third-party website you visit.
