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 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)
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:
