2. Website Usage Data and Cookies
When you visit ndppei.ca, our web servers and third-party analytics tools (such as Google Analytics) may automatically collect certain non-personally identifiable technical data. This helps us understand how users interact with our site and improve website performance. This data may include:
- Your IP address (used to determine general geographic location).
- Browser type, operating system, and device type.
- Pages visited, date and time of your visit, and time spent on the site.
Cookies: Our website uses “cookies” to enhance user experience, remember your preferences, and maintain session continuity. You can adjust your internet browser settings to refuse cookies, though doing so may limit your ability to use certain features on our website.

- Process financial contributions and issue official tax receipts.
- Coordinate volunteer and mobilization activities.
- Respond to your questions, comments, or requests.
4. Sharing and Disclosure of Information
We do not sell your personal information to anyone under any circumstances.

We may also share your information with trusted third-party service providers (such as web hosting, email newsletter platforms, and secure payment processors) strictly to perform tasks on our behalf. These providers are bound by strict confidentiality clauses and are prohibited from using your data for any other purpose.
Legal Obligations: We are legally required to report certain financial contribution details (including the name, address, and amount given by donors) to provincial and federal electoral authorities in accordance with applicable political party financing laws.
5. Data Security
The security of your personal data is highly important to us. We implement appropriate technical, administrative, and physical safeguards designed to protect your data against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, loss, or misuse. All online financial transactions are processed securely using industry-standard encryption.
6. Links to External Websites
Our website may contain links to external sites (such as news outlets or social media platforms) that are not operated by the NDP PEI. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those external websites and encourage you to read their respective privacy policies.
