When you participate in a poll, certain technical information may be collected automatically, including:

Polling Information
BramptonEast polls are informal online community polls and are not scientific surveys or official election results.
We may record technical information associated with a poll submission, including an IP address and timestamp, in order to identify duplicate or potentially automated voting activity.
No attempt is made to determine the identity of an individual voter from an IP address.
Poll results are presented in aggregate. We do not publish individual voters’ IP addresses or other technical information associated with individual votes.
Cookies
BramptonEast.com and its polling software may use cookies or similar technologies to:
- Remember whether a visitor has participated in a poll;
- Help prevent duplicate voting;
- Maintain website functionality; and
- Improve website security and performance.
Cookies may be used in combination with IP-based restrictions and other technical measures to help limit duplicate or automated voting.
You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect the functionality of the polls.
Website Analytics
We may use website analytics services to understand how visitors use BramptonEast.com, including information such as page views, approximate geographic location, referral source, browser type, device type, and general website activity.
Analytics information is used in aggregate to understand website traffic and improve the website.
If third-party analytics services are used, their own privacy policies may also apply.
Third-Party Services
BramptonEast.com may use third-party services for website hosting, security, spam prevention, analytics, polling, or other technical functions.
These services may process technical information such as IP addresses, browser information, cookies, and website activity as necessary to provide their services.
Where applicable, third-party services operate under their own privacy policies.
Embedded Content
Pages on BramptonEast.com may occasionally contain embedded content from other websites, such as videos, images, maps, or social-media content.
Embedded content may behave in the same way as if you had visited the other website directly. Those services may collect information, use cookies, or track your interaction with their content according to their own privacy policies.
Comments and User Accounts
BramptonEast.com does not currently require users to create accounts in order to participate in polls.
Comments may be disabled on polling pages. If commenting or user registration is enabled in the future, this privacy policy will be updated to explain what information is collected and how it is used.
How We Use Information
Information collected through the website may be used to:
- Operate and maintain BramptonEast.com;

How Long We Retain Information
Technical information associated with poll participation may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary to operate the polls, investigate voting irregularities, maintain website security, analyze results, or comply with legal obligations.
Aggregate poll results may be retained indefinitely.
If technical voting data is no longer reasonably required for these purposes, it may be deleted or anonymized.
Data Security
We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information collected through BramptonEast.com.
However, no website or internet transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Your Privacy Rights
Depending on applicable law, you may have rights concerning personal information we hold about you, including the right to request access to or correction of personal information.

The polls are informal community polls and do not represent official election results, predictions, or scientifically conducted public-opinion surveys.
The inclusion of a candidate in a poll does not constitute an endorsement or opposition to that candidate.
Because the website is operated by a candidate in the 2026 municipal election, that relationship is disclosed openly. All applicable candidates are included in the relevant polls, and the polling methodology is intended to be applied consistently to all participants.
