Federal parties urged to bolster privacy protections beyond what the law requires ahead of 2019 election GlobePolitics
Elections Canada and the Privacy Commissioner are urging federal parties to adopt much tougher policies for how they will use the vast troves of personal information they will gather this election year.
Chief Electoral Officer Stéphane Perrault and federal Privacy Commissioner Daniel Therrien issued new guidelines Monday that call on federal political parties to do more than what is legally required. “It’s also for electors, to see what they should expect from a party that protects privacy,” he said.
The guidelines provide a sense of the kinds of things political parties could be doing with personal information that would raise concerns.
