Privacy watchdog closes file on complaint against federal political parties


Complainant Gary Dickson had argued the Liberal, Conservative and New Democratic parties were violating the private-sector privacy law by not properly informing Canadians how they collect, use and disclose their personal information.
He said the parties use such information to conduct political advertising, including "micro-targeted" ads based on detailed profiles of individuals.
Dickson, a former Saskatchewan information and privacy commissioner, was supported in his complaint by the Centre for Digital Rights, established by businessman and philanthropist Jim Balsillie.
Therrien says while the law should govern political parties to better protect privacy and democratic rights, he must apply the statute as it stands today.
