Privacy Policy

Christine Tomlinson for Hope Council

Last updated: September 23, 2026

Your privacy is important to me.

This website provides information about my candidacy for District of Hope Councillor, my priorities and opportunities for residents to connect, ask questions and participate in community conversations.

I recognize the importance of protecting personal information and being transparent about how it is collected, used and maintained.

This Privacy Policy explains how information submitted through this website may be handled.

1. Information We Collect

When you visit this website or choose to contact my campaign, information may be collected through:

• Contact forms and email correspondence.

• Community feedback and questions.

• Event registrations and volunteer inquiries.

• Campaign contribution inquiries and transactions.

• Voluntary subscriptions to campaign updates.

• Website usage information collected through cookies and analytics tools.

Depending on how you interact with the website, this information may include your name, email address, telephone number, mailing address or information you voluntarily provide.

You are welcome to browse the website without submitting personal contact information.

2. How Your Information Is Used

Information collected through this website is used to support campaign-related activities, including responding to inquiries, organizing community events, managing volunteer participation and providing requested campaign information.

Feedback and questions submitted by residents may also help inform my understanding of community interests, concerns and priorities.

Individual correspondence will not be published or attributed to you without your permission, unless disclosure is required by law.

Providing your contact information through a general inquiry does not automatically subscribe you to campaign email updates.

3. Campaign Contributions

Individuals who choose to make a financial contribution may be required to provide additional personal information to meet Elections BC's campaign financing requirements.

Under British Columbia's local election rules, contributions totalling $100 or more from an individual to a candidate are subject to public disclosure of the contributor's name and contribution amount. Contributor residential addresses are collected for compliance purposes but are not included in Elections BC's publicly available contribution information.

Campaign contribution information will be maintained and disclosed as required by applicable election legislation.

4. Email Communications

If you choose to subscribe to campaign updates, your email address will be used to send information about my candidacy, public events and campaign-related announcements.

You may request to stop receiving campaign emails at any time by contacting:

christinetomlinson101@gmail.com

Requests to be removed from voluntary campaign mailing lists will be respected.

5. Website Hosting and Cookies

This website is hosted through Wix.

Wix and any enabled website applications may use cookies and related technologies to support website functionality, security, performance and visitor analytics.

These technologies may collect technical information such as browser type, device information, pages visited and general website activity.

You can manage cookies through your browser settings and any cookie preferences provided on this website.

For more information about how Wix handles website information, visit Wix's Privacy Policy.

6. Protecting Personal Information

Reasonable measures will be taken to protect personal information submitted to the campaign from unauthorized access, use or disclosure.

Access to campaign information will be limited to those who require it for legitimate campaign administration and activities.

Personal information will not be sold to third parties.

Where external service providers are used to operate the website, process contributions or manage communications, information may be handled according to those providers' applicable privacy practices.

7. Information Retention

Personal information will be maintained only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, subject to applicable legal requirements.

Campaign financing records are subject to Elections BC's record-retention requirements. For local candidates, required campaign financing records must be retained in British Columbia until five years after General Voting Day.

8. Your Privacy Choices

You may contact me to:

• Ask how your personal information has been used.

• Request a correction to information you have provided.

• Withdraw from voluntary campaign communications.

• Request deletion of information where retention is not legally required.

• Raise a concern about how your information is handled.

Requests can be directed to the campaign contact below.
