Privacy Policy
Privacy Policy
Effective date: August 14, 2026
Brookfield Watch is committed to protecting the personal information entrusted to us. This Privacy Policy explains how Brookfield Watch collects, uses, discloses, stores and protects personal information through BrookfieldWatch.com, our campaign activities and related communications.
Information We Collect
We may collect information that you provide directly, including your name, email address, telephone number, mailing and billing address, contribution amount, contributor type, organization information, communication preferences and any other information you submit through our website or provide to us.
When you make a contribution, our payment processor collects the payment information needed to complete the transaction. Brookfield Watch generally does not receive or retain your complete payment-card number. We do receive transaction details such as the contribution amount, date, status and payment method.
We may automatically collect technical information when you use the website, including your Internet Protocol address, browser type, device type, referring page, pages visited, timestamps and information collected through cookies or similar technologies.
How We Use Information
We use personal information to process and administer contributions, operate and improve BrookfieldWatch.com, conduct Brookfield Watch campaign activities, respond to inquiries, prevent fraud and misuse, maintain records, comply with legal obligations and communicate with you as permitted by law and by your choices.
If you separately consent, Rebel News Network Ltd may contact you by email, SMS/text message or telephone for promotional and campaign communications. These optional communication permissions are not required in order to contribute, and you may withdraw them at any time using the unsubscribe method included in a message or by contacting us.
Disclosure to Rebel News Network Ltd
As a condition of contributing through this website, contributors authorize Brookfield Watch to disclose their name and contact information to Rebel News Network Ltd for administration and communications relating to Brookfield Watch and this campaign. Optional promotional email, SMS/text and telephone communications require the separate choices presented on the contribution form.
Elections Canada Reporting and Public Disclosure
Brookfield Watch is a registered third party under the Canada Elections Act. We collect contributor names, addresses and contributor types so that we can determine whether contributions may be accepted and satisfy our recordkeeping and reporting obligations.
Where total contributions from a contributor are more than $200 during the applicable reporting period, the contributor’s name, partial address and contribution amounts disclosed in Brookfield Watch’s financial return may be published by Elections Canada. We may also disclose information to Elections Canada, regulators, law enforcement, courts or other authorities when required or permitted by law.
Service Providers
We may provide personal information to service providers that help us operate the website, process payments, host data, deliver communications, provide analytics, prevent fraud or support campaign administration. These providers may use the information only to perform services for us or as otherwise permitted by law. Brookfield Watch uses NationBuilder to host and administer parts of the website and supporter database.
Cookies and Analytics
BrookfieldWatch.com may use cookies and similar technologies to keep the website functioning, understand website traffic, remember preferences and measure campaign performance. You may be able to control cookies through your browser settings, although disabling some cookies may affect website functionality.
Storage, Retention and Security
Personal information may be processed or stored by Brookfield Watch or its service providers in Canada or other jurisdictions. Information stored outside Canada may be subject to the laws and lawful access processes of the jurisdiction where it is stored.
We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, including campaign administration, legal reporting, dispute resolution and enforcement. We use reasonable administrative, technical and physical safeguards appropriate to the sensitivity of the information. No Internet transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Your Choices and Rights
You may ask to access or correct personal information held by Brookfield Watch, subject to applicable legal exceptions. You may also withdraw optional communication consent. Withdrawing consent does not affect disclosures already made, legal records that Brookfield Watch must retain or processing otherwise authorized by law.
Children
BrookfieldWatch.com is not directed to children, and Brookfield Watch does not knowingly solicit personal information or contributions from children.
Third-Party Websites
Our website may link to third-party websites. Brookfield Watch is not responsible for the privacy practices, content or security of those websites. Review the privacy policy of any third-party service before providing information.
Changes to This Policy
Brookfield Watch may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The revised version will be posted on BrookfieldWatch.com with a new effective date. Your continued use of the website after an update means that the revised Policy applies to information collected after it takes effect, subject to applicable law.
