The Cambridge Analytica saga has turned up another story linked to B.C. politics.

This week, the B.C. Green party revealed that it contracted work to a company linked to the growing political scandal in the United Kingdom.

The party's executive director, Laura Lavin, wrote an email to people on the B.C. Greens' mailing list stating that Victoria-based AggregateIQ was hired in January 2016 to work on a voter-contact database.

It also worked on the B.C. Green website.

"By August of that year, we determined that the project was not meeting our priorities and we ended our relationship with AIQ," Lavin wrote.

AggregateIQ also worked with two groups that were campaigning for Britain to withdraw from the European Union during the Brexit campaign.

That's created a huge controversy in the British media.

Former Cambridge Analytica research director Christopher Wylie has alleged that AggregateIQ created software enabling ads to be tailored to people based on data that Cambridge Analytica had scraped from millions of Facebook accounts.

For its part, AggregateIQ has insisted on its website that it never had "access to the Facebook data or database allegedly obtained improperly by Cambridge Analytica".

It has done work for Cambridge Analytica's parent company.

Lavin's recent email declared that there is "no evidence" indicating data provided by the B.C. Greens was misused in any way. 

She revealed that there was a nondisclosure agreement in place when Aggregate IQ was granted access to the party's database.

According to her, this required that the information be kept confidential.

AggregateIQ was also required to delete any records it received after the relationship ended.

"The allegations we are seeing in the media, however, are serious," Lavin acknowledged. "That’s why we determined a review was prudent and necessary to ensure the security of party data."

AggregateIQ also performed work for B.C. Liberal leadership candidate Todd Stone, who ended up losing earlier this year to Andrew Wilkinson.

In addition, the Globe and Mail has reported that AggregateIQ was contracted to work for a political action committee formed by Republican hawk John Bolton when he was considering running for president.

Bolton was recently hired as Donald Trump's national security adviser.

The Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner of B.C. and the U.K. information commissioner are both investigating whether AggregateIQ violated any laws.

The company has insisted on its website that it's done nothing wrong.

"AggregateIQ works in full compliance within all legal and regulatory requirements in all jurisdictions where it operates," it stated. "It has never knowingly been involved in any illegal activity. All work AggregateIQ does for each client is kept separate from every other client."
