The B.C. Green party has told its supporters that their personal information was accessed by AggregateIQ, the Victoria tech company caught up in an international scandal.

The Greens, which hired AggregateIQ to work on a new voter contact database and website before the 2017 provincial election, said they have conducted a privacy review and found no evidence that the data of tens of thousands of voters was misused.

AggregateIQ has told the party it destroyed all records containing voter information, said Stefan Jonsson, the Green Party’s director of communications.

Even though the party’s internal review found there was no data breach, the B.C. Greens sent an email to supporters on Thursday letting them know about the link to AggregateIQ.

The company came under scrutiny in the U.K. and Canada after Victoria-raised Chris Wylie alleged that it worked with U.K.-based political consulting firms Cambridge Analytica and its parent company SCL Elections to mine personal data and influence elections around the world, including the Brexit vote.
