Privacy Policy
Beginning January 1, 2004, all organizations engaged in commercial activities must comply with the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act, (PIPEDA), which grants rights concerning the privacy of your personal information.
We endeavour to give the utmost priority to the maintenance of your privacy and strive to protect the confidentiality of any personal information that you may give us online, in a telephone conversation, in person, or on a completed printed form.
Personal information is any information that identifies you or provides a method by which your identity could be deduced.
Types of Personal Information Collected
The GreenLearning Canada Foundation may collect personal information as required for the administration of our programs or services through electronic forms, email, phone, fax, mail or in person. The types of information we collect may include:
- your name, home address, and home telephone and/or cell phone numbers;
- your email address;
- your place of employment and job title;
- credit card information and/or banking information.
Purpose of Collecting Personal Information
Your personal information is collected for one or more the following purposes:
- to carry out transactions such as a donation, registration for a workshop or the purchase of a publication;
- to issue tax receipts when requested;
- to provide you with a response to a question you have posed via one of our Contact Us email response links;
- to gather your feedback on programs such as our Greenlearning.ca or Re-Energy.ca education programs;
- to send you information about our program work through one of our subscription-based electronic newsletters.
The GreenLearning Canada Foundation does not sell, share, barter, rent, divulge or otherwise disseminate personal information.
Collection of Personal Information and Your Consent
The GreenLearning Canada Foundation collects information only by lawful and fair means and not in an unreasonably intrusive way. In some circumstances, for example when you complete a survey or make a donation, you may be asked if you wish to subscribe to one of our informative, free electronic newsletters.
In these cases, you are notified and given the option of being added to our electronic newsletter list or not. You can opt-out at any time using instructions provided in every issue. If you have participated in a workshop, or supported the GreenLearning Canada Foundation as a donor, you may be sent information regarding upcoming events or opportunities that we believe would be of interest to you. If you prefer not to be contacted in the future, you can ask us to remove your name.
Children’s Personal Data
The GreenLearning Canada Foundation does not knowingly collect any personal data from children. Our programs are designed for educators to use with their students. Some of our programs may require educators to create student accounts using their school emails. This information is to allow teachers and students to work together in the learning program. We encourage parents and legal guardians to monitor their children’s Internet usage and instruct their children never to provide personal data through the Websites or Services without their permission. If you have reason to believe that a child has provided personal data to us through the Websites or Services, please contact us at [email protected], and we will use reasonable efforts to delete that information.
Website Monitoring
The GreenLearning Canada Foundation monitors website traffic patterns, site usage and related site information in order to optimize our web services. This information may also be used for statistical analysis and may be provided to third parties, but this statistical information does not include any identifiable personal information.
Third Party Websites and Personal Information
The GreenLearning Canada Foundation’s websites may contain links to third party websites that are not under our control. We cannot guarantee that these sites adhere to strict codes of conduct with respect to privacy, and visitors to our website should link and submit personal information to these third party sites at their own risk.
