Privacy Policy

CanGEA has developed this site as an electronic resource with information about our organization.

We are committed to providing our guests with a web site that respects their privacy. This page summarizes the privacy policy and practices on our organization’s web site. We reserve the right to change this Privacy Policy at any time.

We do not collect personal information that identifies individuals (such as your name, phone number, address, or e-mail address) unless you supply it voluntarily, usually through contacting us via e-mail, fax, regular mail, telephone, or registering in a portion of the web site.

Personal information voluntarily provided by you via our web site will be used only for the purpose for which it was provided (for example, to join our organization), or to which you otherwise consent, will be kept strictly confidential, and is not disclosed to anyone outside of CanGEA.

When you voluntarily disclose information in a forum area of our web site, your personal and other information disclosed in your communication shall become public information and can be collected and used by outside parties. Such activities are beyond the control of CanGEA.

In some instances, we may use outside parties to administer online activities on our behalf, such as registration services. This may involve the collection of personal information. In such cases, we ensure that the manner in which any outside party collects, uses and retains personal information conforms to our privacy regime.

There may also be instances in which we are required or permitted by law to provide personal information without your consent. Such instances include emergency situations, or where required by governmental or other legal order. Other than as indicated above, we will not share, sell, rent, or otherwise make available your personal information to any outside parties without your consent.

We do maintain server logs and web logs which automatically collect and log all incoming traffic to our web site including your Internet Protocol (IP) address. We make no attempt to link these addresses with the identity of individuals visiting our site.

Any personal information you do provide is protected under Canada’s laws respecting the protection of personal information, as applicable. This means that, subject to exceptions permitted by law, at the point of collection you will be informed that your personal information is being collected, the purpose for which it is being collected, and that you have a right of access to the information.

We occasionally use “cookies” to track how our visitors use the site. If you do not want a cookie placed on your computer by CanGEA, you may disable cookies altogether by modifying the Preferences section of your Internet browser software. If you will accept cookies but wish to be informed of their appearance, you may turn on a warning prompt by modifying the cookie warning section of your browser software.

This web site contains links to other sites. We are not responsible for the content or the privacy practices of other web sites and encourage you to examine each site’s privacy policy and make your own decisions regarding the accuracy, reliability and correctness of material and information found.

We will not knowingly collect or retain any personal information of visitors to our web site who are under the age of 19, unless we obtain parental or legal guardian consent. Such information will never be shared, sold, rented, or otherwise made available to outside parties without parental or legal guardian consent unless we are required to do so by court, governmental, or other legal order.

If you have any questions, please contact us.
