As one part of that commitment, the Liberal Party of Canada has a clear and stringent privacy policy in place which is designed to protect individual Canadians’ private information by ensuring its confidentiality, security and accuracy. This policy can be viewed here: www.liberal.ca/privacy

In certain circumstances, the party may also share convention attendees’ registration information with our 2023 Liberal Party of Canada National Convention hosting partners, such as event production partners.
