UBI Works is a Canadian non-profit that advocates for basic income. This policy explains what personal information we collect when you sign a petition, fill out a survey, subscribe to our emails or otherwise take action with us, and how we use and protect it.
We only collect what you choose to give us. Depending on the action, this may include your name, email address, postal code, province, riding or elected representative, the answers you give in a survey (such as the issues that matter to you and basic demographic questions), and any message you write.
Like most websites, our site and the tools we use may also collect basic technical information, such as your browser type, the pages you visit and how you arrived (for example, from an ad). We may use cookies or similar tools, including advertising pixels, to measure how well our campaigns work.
We use your information to complete the action you took. For petitions and letter campaigns, that means sending your message to the elected officials you chose to contact, such as your MP, MLA, MPP, MNA or local councillor. For surveys, that means sharing your responses with your elected representatives when the survey says we will.
We also use it to keep you informed about basic income and ways to get involved, to understand what matters to supporters across Canada, and to improve our campaigns. We report survey results in combined form that does not identify you, unless you have told us your response can be shared with your representative.
We do not sell or rent your personal information.
When you send a message to an elected official, your name, postal code, email and message go to that official, because that is the point of the action.
We use trusted service providers to run our website, forms, petitions, surveys, email and advertising (for example, NewMode for petitions, Typeform for surveys, and Meta for ads). They process information only to provide services to us. Some of these providers store data outside Canada, so your information may be subject to the laws of those countries.
We may also disclose information if the law requires it.
If you give us your email, we may send you updates about basic income and our campaigns. Every email includes an unsubscribe link, and you can opt out at any time.
You can ask to see the personal information we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it. Email info@ubiworks.ca and we will respond within 30 days.
We use reasonable safeguards to protect your information and limit access to people who need it to do their work. We keep personal information only as long as we need it for the purposes above, or as required by law.
We may update this policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page.
