Internet Privacy Policy
We are a member of the Canadian Marketing Association. As members, we manage our website in strict accordance with the CMA's mandatory Code of Ethics and Standards of Practice. We are committed to high standards that require honesty, integrity and fairness in all donor relationships.
Protecting your personal information
We will provide specific notice before collecting any of your personal information (details that can identify you as an individual, such as your name or address). We will explain what information is being collected and how it will be used. You have the right to decline to have this information collected or transferred for marketing purposes.
We will not collect personal information about you unless you choose to provide that information to us. We do not use techniques that collect personal information about you without your knowledge.
We will not transfer your personal information to a third party for marketing purposes. Any personally identifiable data about our donors or website visitors is stored securely.
We will not collect personal information about children (under 13 years of age) without the expressed, positive consent of their parent or guardian.
How we use non-personal information
Our website's operating system may automatically record some general information about your visit, such as:
The Internet domain for your Internet service provider, such as “company.com” or “service.ca” and the IP address of the computer accessing the website, such as “ppp-55”
The type of browser (such as “Netscape version x” or “Internet Explorer version x”) you are using * The type of operating system you are using (such as Macintosh, Unix, or Windows)
The date and time your visit on our site, along with the address of the previous website you were visiting, and if you linked to us from another site.
We use this information for statistical analysis, to help us make our site more useful to visitors. We may disclose this non-personal information to third parties such as sponsors, clients or advertisers and/or use it for auditing purposes. This tracking system does not record personal information about individuals or link this information to any personal data collected.
We may use “cookies” that identify you as a return visitor. A cookie is a piece of data that a website can send to your browser, which may then store the cookie on your hard drive. So, when you come back to visit us again, we can tailor information to suit your individual preferences. The goal is to save you time and provide you with a more meaningful visit and to measure website activity. Cookies do not contain any personally identifying information. Browsers such as Netscape allow you to disable cookie collection if you wish, or inform you when a cookie is being stored on your hard drive.
What about spam?
You will not receive marketing e-mail from this organization unless you have consented to receive it.
From time to time we may use e-mail as a way of communicating with our donors and interested visitors. However, we do not send “spam” (unsolicited marketing e-mail).
If you agree to receive e-mail communications from us, every e-mail address to which we send will include an e-mail address to which you can respond. If at any time you decide you do not want to receive marketing e-mail from us, simply let us know and we will remove your name and e-mail address from our list. We will do the same with your mailing address and telephone number, on request.

Once you link to another site, you are subject to the privacy and security policies of the new site. We encourage you to read the privacy policies of all website you visit, especially if you share any personal information.
