Defining Personal Information

We consider “personal information” to mean information about an identified individual. Personal information can include an individual’s opinions or beliefs, as well as facts about, or related to, the individual. Exceptions which are not considered personal information include business contact information and certain publicly available information, such as names, addresses and telephone numbers as published in telephone directories.

Where an individual uses his or her home contact information as business contact information, we consider that the contact information provided is business contact information, and is not therefore subject to protection as personal information.

Collecting Your Personal Information

8667837 Canada Society collects personal information for the primary purpose of conducting our day-to-day operations, special events and other activities. 8667837 Canada Society collects details such as your name, address, telephone and facsimile numbers and email addresses. For individuals who are deemed not capable of consenting to the collection of their personal information, we require the consent of the individual’s parent, legal guardian or substitute decision maker for the collection of information about that person.

When personal information is collected for a specific purpose such as fundraising or other special events, registration forms, websites, newsletters, sponsor sheets or other documents, 8667837 Canada Society will provide details of the purposes for which the information is collected and is to be used.

8667837 Canada Society does not sell, trade, barter, exchange or disclose for consideration any personal information that we collect.

Your Consent

Your provision of personal information to 8667837 Canada Society means that you agree and consent that we may collect, use and disclose your personal information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. In addition, specific authorizations or consents may be obtained from time to time.
