• Provide scheduling, training and campaign information
• Assign volunteer responsibilities

Volunteer submissions and related correspondence may be stored in Gmail and other campaign records.

Access to volunteer information will be limited to authorized campaign personnel who require the information to perform their assigned responsibilities.

Google maintains servers around the world, and information handled through Google services may be processed outside the country where the individual lives.

4. Contributions and Stripe

Online campaign contributions are processed using Stripe.

When you make a contribution, Stripe may collect and process information such as:

• Your name
• Your email address and telephone number
• Your residential or billing address
• Your payment-method information
• The contribution amount
• The transaction date
• Payment status
• Refund, chargeback or dispute information
• Device, browser and Internet Protocol information
• Fraud-prevention and security information

Payment-card information is entered into Stripe’s payment interface and processed by Stripe. The campaign does not intentionally receive or store complete credit card or debit card numbers in its own website or campaign records.

Stripe may use transaction information to process payments, authenticate payment methods, prevent fraud, manage refunds and disputes, and provide related payment services.

Personal information processed through Stripe may be transferred, processed or stored outside Canada and may be subject to lawful access under the laws of another jurisdiction. Stripe requires Canadian users of its services to disclose this international processing in their privacy policies.

Stripe’s own privacy policy applies to the information that Stripe collects and processes.

5. Contribution Records and Public Disclosure

The campaign collects contributor information to:

• Process and confirm contributions
• Confirm that contributors are eligible to contribute
• Monitor individual and aggregate contribution limits
• Maintain contribution receipts
• Maintain accounting and campaign finance records
• Prepare campaign financial statements
• Complete required election filings
• Support campaign audits and compliance reviews
• Administer Contribution Rebate Program documentation, where applicable
• Comply with the Municipal Elections Act, 1996 and applicable City of Toronto requirements

Campaign financial statements filed with the City Clerk are public documents. After the applicable financial filing deadline, the financial statement and contribution information will be made publicly available by the City of Toronto.

Where an individual’s total contributions to the campaign exceed $100, publicly disclosed information will include the contributor’s:

• Name
• Address
• Contribution amount
• Identity of the candidate receiving the contribution

The City of Toronto posts filed campaign financial statements online, including the names and addresses of contributors whose total contributions exceed $100.

Contributor information may also be provided to:

• Toronto Elections
• The City Clerk
• The campaign’s auditor
• The campaign’s bookkeeper or financial representatives
• Legal advisers
• Financial institutions and payment providers
• Compliance audit committees
• Government, regulatory or legal authorities where required

A request to delete personal information will not override records that the campaign is legally required to collect, retain, report, audit or publicly disclose.

6. Contribution Rebate Program

The City of Toronto’s Contribution Rebate Program is optional and applies only to candidates who have formally chosen to participate.

If the Frances Nunziata Campaign participates in the Contribution Rebate Program, contributor information will be used to prepare, issue and retain Contribution Rebate Receipt and Application forms and to support the administration of rebate claims.

Participating candidates are required to issue a Contribution Rebate Receipt and Application form for every contribution, including contributions that are not eligible for a rebate, and retain copies for campaign records. Contributor information, including names and addresses, is posted by the City for contributions totalling more than $100.

Information required for rebate administration may be provided to Toronto Elections, the City Clerk, the campaign’s auditor and other authorized parties.

Eligibility for a rebate is determined by the City of Toronto and is subject to the applicable election legislation, program rules, filing requirements and deadlines.

7. Google Analytics and Cookies

The campaign uses Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the website and to improve website content, navigation and performance.

Google Analytics may collect information such as:

• Number of visitors
• Session information
• Approximate geographic location
• Browser and device information
• Operating system
• Pages viewed
• Referring website
• Website interactions
• Date and time of visits
• Cookie and analytics identifiers

Google Analytics uses a first-party cookie, commonly identified as _ga, to distinguish website visitors and their sessions when analytics storage is enabled.

The campaign does not intentionally send names, email addresses, telephone numbers, residential addresses, payment-card information or other directly identifying form information to Google Analytics.

Google may process Analytics information outside Canada. Google’s own privacy policy and service terms apply to information that it processes.

You may restrict or delete cookies through your browser settings. Where the website provides cookie controls, you may also use those controls to manage optional analytics technologies.

Restricting optional analytics cookies should not prevent access to the website’s primary content or campaign forms.

8. Social-Media Links

The website contains links to campaign pages or accounts on:

• Instagram
• Facebook
• YouTube

Clicking one of these links will take you away from the campaign website and direct you to the selected third-party platform.

Facebook and Instagram are operated by Meta. YouTube is a Google service. The privacy policies, cookies, account settings and data-handling practices of those platforms apply once you visit them.

The campaign is not responsible for the privacy practices, security, availability or content of third-party websites or social-media platforms.

At present, ordinary links to Facebook, Instagram and YouTube do not themselves create an embedded social-media feed on the campaign website. This Privacy Policy should be updated before adding technologies such as:

• Meta Pixel
• Embedded social-media feeds
• Advertising-retargeting tools
• Social-media tracking pixels
• Embedded videos that load third-party tracking technologies automatically

These communications may include:

• Volunteer scheduling information
• Campaign activity instructions
• Event details
• Contribution confirmations

• Campaign news and updates

You may ask to stop receiving optional campaign communications at any time by emailing:

12. Retention of Information

Campaign financial records, including contribution records, contributor information, transaction information, invoices, receipts and election financial documentation, will be retained until at least November 15, 2030, when the next elected council takes office.

Information may be retained longer where reasonably required for:

• An audit
• A compliance proceeding
• Contribution rebate administration
• A payment dispute or chargeback
• Fraud prevention
• Legal proceedings
• A regulatory requirement
• Another lawful obligation

Ontario’s 2026 Candidates’ Guide requires candidates to retain all campaign financial records until November 15, 2030.

Volunteer information and general correspondence will be retained only as long as reasonably required for campaign operations, volunteer coordination, security and legal obligations.

Information that is no longer required will be securely deleted, destroyed or anonymized where reasonably possible.

Information contained in legally required campaign, financial, audit or public records may not be deleted at an individual’s request.

13. Security

The campaign uses reasonable administrative, technical and organizational safeguards to protect personal information.

These measures may include:

• Audit requirements
• Rebate administration
• Legal privilege

These providers may process personal information outside Canada. Information processed in another country may be subject to that country’s laws and may be accessible to courts, law-enforcement agencies or government authorities under applicable legal processes.

Third-party services are governed by their own privacy policies, security practices and terms of service.
