Respecting the privacy and confidentiality
of personal information has always been an important part of our commitment to
our constituents, investors, donors, sponsors, volunteers and other
stakeholders.
Effective as of January 1, 2004, the federal
government's Personal Information
Protection and Electronic Documents Act ("PIPEDA") imposed new
legal obligations for the collection, use and disclosure of personal
information in the course of commercial activities. We are committed to complying with PIPEDA. As a result, we have developed:
(a) (a)
a Privacy Protection Pledge, which explains why we collect personal
information, how we use personal information, when and why we disclose personal
information, and how we protect personal information; and
(b) (b)
a Privacy Policy, which specifies and describes the principles and
guidelines that we have adopted for the collection, use, disclosure and
retention of personal information.
We have also appointed a Privacy Officer,
who is responsible for overseeing our Privacy Project. Our Privacy Officer is already working with
our employees, volunteers and other service providers so that they are familiar
with and understand our Privacy Protection Pledge and our Privacy Policy and
can therefore assist us in complying with PIPEDA.
If you would like to receive copies of our
Privacy Protection Pledge and our Privacy Policy or if you have any questions
regarding our Privacy Project, please contact our Privacy Officer by:
(a) telephone: 519-733-2127
