Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy governs the collection, use, and disclosure of personal information by The Show Vancouver Bid Corporation (“we,” “us,” or “our”) in connection with the theshowvancouver.com petition website. We are committed to protecting your privacy in accordance with Canada’s federal Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and British Columbia’s Personal Information Protection Act (BC PIPA).

What we collect

When you sign the petition we collect your first and last name, email address, phone number (optional), and postal code. We also record your CASL consent timestamp, the version of the consent text you agreed to, and your IP address at time of submission for compliance purposes.

The 143 business leaders listed on the petition page are pre-set public signatories whose names appear by design. Your petition submission is private and your name will not be published on this website.

How we use it

• To send you campaign updates about bringing MLB to Vancouver (only if you gave CASL express consent)
• To record and demonstrate CASL consent for regulatory compliance
• We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties

Data processors

We use the following service providers who may process your personal information on our behalf:

• Cloudflare, Inc. — website hosting (Cloudflare Pages), database storage (Cloudflare D1), content delivery, and bot-protection infrastructure. Your submitted information is stored in Cloudflare’s Western North America (WNAM) region on servers located in the United States. Cloudflare therefore stores and processes your data outside Canada, and by submitting the form you acknowledge this cross-border transfer. Cloudflare’s privacy practices are described at cloudflare.com/privacypolicy.
• Google LLC — analytics provider (Google Analytics 4), loaded via Cloudflare Zaraz. Google processes aggregated website usage data as described in the “Cookies & Analytics” section below. Google’s privacy practices are described at policies.google.com/privacy.

Google Analytics collects information such as pages viewed, approximate location derived from IP address, and device and browser type. Google Analytics sets cookies or uses similar technologies for this purpose.

This data is used in aggregate to measure the reach and performance of the campaign website. It is entirely separate from the personal information you submit through the petition form. Google LLC processes this analytics data; Google’s privacy practices are described at policies.google.com/privacy.

Data retention

Your personal information is retained until you withdraw consent or the campaign concludes, at which point it is deleted within a reasonable period. You may request early deletion at any time by contacting us at the address below.

CASL consent & withdrawal

By checking the consent box on the petition form you expressly consent under Canada’s Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL) to receive electronic communications from The Show Vancouver Bid Corporation about the MLB Vancouver campaign.
