Privacy Policy

Scope of this policy

This policy applies to the Patrice for Saint-Jean campaign website and to the interactions you choose to have with our team through this site, including when you complete a form, express interest in getting involved, or use official contribution links.

It is informed by Quebec privacy requirements, including the Act to modernize legislative provisions as regards the protection of personal information, commonly referred to as Law 25.

Information we may collect

We collect only the information you voluntarily provide or that is needed for the normal operation of the site. Depending on your interaction with the campaign, this may include your name, email address, communication language, preferred type of involvement, topic of interest, and the content of a message sent to the team.

When you use contribution links, political contributions are processed through the official services of Élections Québec. This site does not collect banking information or payment card details.

Technical information may also be processed, such as browser type, device information, pages viewed, cookie preferences, and audience measurement data when you consent to it.

How information is used

Information is used to respond to your requests, communicate with you, organize volunteer participation, share campaign information, understand community priorities, operate the website, and improve the browsing experience.

We use information only for the purposes for which it was collected, or for compatible purposes, unless you consent to another use or the law requires or allows it.

Disclosure to third parties

We do not sell personal information. It may be shared with people or providers who support the campaign, such as website hosting, form delivery, technical tools, audience measurement, security, or official services related to political contributions.

These disclosures are limited to what is necessary to provide the requested service, meet our obligations, or protect the rights, security, and integrity of the site and its users.

Retention and security

We retain personal information only for as long as needed for the purposes described in this policy, unless a longer period is required or permitted by law.

We use reasonable safeguards to protect information against unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. No method of electronic transmission or storage can be guaranteed to be perfectly secure. Please avoid sending sensitive information through free-text fields in the contact form.
