Privacy Policy
CICAPP Privacy Policy We respect our donors’ right to confidentiality and have therefore adopted a privacy policy based on the principles outlined in the Canadian Standards Association’s Model Code for the Protection of Personal Information. This Model Code is widely regarded in Canada as an appropriate standard for the handling of personal information. We also adhere to the privacy guidelines set by the Canadian Centre for Philanthropy, which provides rigorous standards for charitable and non-profit organizations in Canada. In addition, our policy complies with the Donor Bill of Rights developed by the American Association of Fundraising Counsel and the Association of Fundraising Professionals. Collection and Use of Personal Information Our general policy is to collect personal information with the knowledge and consent of the individual unless otherwise permitted by law. We explicitly identify the purposes for which we collect personal information at the time of collection, unless it plainly obvious in the circumstances. Generally, we collect and use personal information for the following purposes:
Donors may opt out of receiving news or being recognized publicly - see the "opt-out" section below. Disclosure of Personal Information We strictly protect the confidentiality of all personal information that we collect regarding our donors and prospective donors. We do not sell, trade, or lease this information. We may disclose personal information in other circumstances without consent where we have a legal right or duty to do so. Security The security of donor personal information is important to us. We have in place reasonable security policies, processes and procedures to help keep personal information that is under our control safe and secure.
Access You may request access to your personal information any time you wish to ensure it is current and correct. Feel free to contact us if you wish to make such a request. We will promptly reply to your request by either providing you with access to your personal information or providing you the reasons why we cannot provide access to your personal information (for example, because we no longer have the information, etc.). Website Privacy We collect and store only the following information about you: the name of the domain from which you access the Internet, the date and time you access our site and the Internet address of the website from which you linked to our site. We use the information we collect to measure the number of visitors to the different sections of our site, and to help us make our site more useful to visitors. Online Donations We may use the information collected when you make a donation to send you further information about our organization or to contact you again when necessary. You may always opt-out of receiving future mailings. Sending us an Email You also may decide to send us personally identifying information in an electronic mail message containing a question or comment, or by filling out a Web form (Contact Us section) that provides us this information. We may also use your email to contact you in the future about our programs that may be of interest. If you sign up for our email list, we will never share or sell your name or email address with any outside parties. Opt-Out or Change Your Contact Information All users have the opportunity to opt-out of receiving communications and being publicly recognized for donations. You may also update your contact information previously provided to us through another online form. You cannot remove yourself from our database, but you can prevent unwanted communication.
