Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 30, 2026

CORE (“we”, “us”) is a team of people in the 2027 Law Society of Ontario bencher election. This policy explains what personal information we collect through this website, how we use it, and the choices you have.

Information we collect

When you sign up for updates: your first and last name, email address and postal code.

When you contribute: your name, email address, phone number, mailing address and contribution amount. Payments are processed by Stripe. Your card or bank details go directly to Stripe and are never received or stored by CORE.

When you complete our survey: your answers and any contact details you choose to provide. The survey is hosted by SurveyMonkey.

When you visit the site: basic, non-identifying usage information such as pages visited, referring website, device type and approximate location, collected through our website analytics.

How we use your information

We use your information to:

• send campaign updates, announcements and voting reminders you have asked for
• process contributions, send receipts and keep required financial records
• understand members’ priorities and shape our platform
• improve the website

We do not sell, rent or trade your personal information, and we will not use it for any purpose unrelated to CORE’s campaign.

Who we share it with

We share information only with the service providers that help us run the campaign, and only as needed for them to provide their service:

• Stripe – payment processing
• SurveyMonkey – the member survey
• Our email service provider – sending campaign emails
• Webflow – website hosting

Some of these providers may store information outside Canada, where it is subject to the laws of those countries. We may also disclose information where required by law.

Cookies

Stripe uses essential cookies on the contribution page to process payments securely and prevent fraud. Where our website analytics use cookies, we will ask for your consent where required. You can also control cookies through your browser settings.

How long we keep it

We keep contribution records for as long as needed to meet our financial record-keeping obligations.

Your choices

• Unsubscribe: every email includes an unsubscribe link, or you can contact us at any time.
• Access and correction: you can ask to see the personal information we hold about you and to correct it.
• Deletion: you can ask us to delete your information, except records we are required to keep.

Security

We use reputable service providers and reasonable safeguards to protect your information. No website or online service can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
