Saskatchewan New Democratic Party Privacy and Confidentiality Policy
Version 1.0 - Effective March 23, 2018
1. Introduction
The Saskatchewan New Democratic Party (“Saskatchewan’s NDP”) is committed to respecting and
protecting all personal information entrusted to the Party. The protection and security of individual’s
privacy is a value taken very seriously by the Party.
This privacy policy (the " Privacy and Confidentiality Policy ") is a statement of principles and guidelines
concerning the protection of personal information collected, used and disclosed by Saskatchewan’s NDP.
Our policy is in compliance with Canadian Standards Association privacy principles, as well as our
responsibilities and obligations under the Elections Act, 1996.
2. Collecting Personal Information
“Personal information” is information about an identifiable individual. It includes information such as your
name, email address, address, telephone number, date of birth, and financial information.
Elections Saskatchewan provides registered political parties with voter data, which includes names,
addresses and other personal information. Saskatchewan’s NDP may use voter data solely for electoral
purposes that are directly associated with electing representatives to the Saskatchewan Legislative
Assembly (the “Primary Purposes”), including:
- Communicating with voters, including for soliciting contributions; and
- Recruiting party members.
Personal information which is not voter data may be collected and used for other purposes as may be
identified at the time of collection, as well as secondary purposes that are consistent with the primary
purpose of collection and as permitted under this Privacy and Confidentiality Policy.
We collect the personal information that you choose to provide to us when you become a contributor, a
member, when you voluntarily subscribe to our communications, when you register for an event or sign
a petition either in person or online, or when you complete any of the forms on saskndp.ca.
3. Consent
Voter data is subject to collection, use and disclosure under the terms of the Elections Act, 1996, and is
not subject to an opt-out process.
If you submit your email address and/or personal information through saskndp.ca or otherwise provide
your personal information to Saskatchewan’s NDP directly, we assume that we have your implied consent
to our collection and use of personal information for the purposes of that matter.
You may revoke your consent to our collection, use and disclosure of your personal information, subject
to legal restrictions and upon reasonable written notice. Your withdrawal of consent to the collection, use
and disclosure of your personal information may impact the ability of Saskatchewan’s NDP ability to
communicate with you.

We use your personal information to communicate with you about Saskatchewan’s NDP, to provide you
with news and information about the NDP and our activities, and to contact you about your past and
future contributions and membership.
We may share your information internally within our provincial organization, including constituency
associations and committees.
We use your financial information to process your contributions. We are also required by the Elections
Act, 1996 to provide Elections Saskatchewan with information related to the contributions you make to
us.
5. Disclosure

consent. Saskatchewan’s NDP may disclose your personal information:

(b) To a government institution, based on reasonable grounds to believe that the government
institution has lawful authority to obtain the information;

6. Protecting Your Personal Information
Your privacy is very important to us. We protect your personal information by employing rigorous security
systems and strict access controls in order to safeguard your personal information from unauthorized

other persons who may use personal information in accordance with this Privacy and Confidentiality
Policy.
We may engage third parties to provide us with services from time-to-time, such as hosting servers and
