Purpose
Spinal Cord Injury Canada is committed to ensuring your personal information is protected when using our websites. While you can use many features of the our websites anonymously, you are required to provide personal information to gain access to some of our services.
Scope
This Privacy Policy describes the Personal Information privacy practices relating to Spinal Cord Injury Canada’s websites – sci-can.ca and include-me.ca. Spinal Cord Injury Canada respects the personal privacy of all website visitors.
How we use "cookies"
As you probably know, "cookies" are small pieces of information that some websites store on your computer's hard drive when you visit them. Like many other websites, sci-can.ca and include-me.ca may use cookies to identify visitors. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies but allow you to modify security settings so you can approve or reject cookies on a case-by-case basis. Even if you do not use cookies, you can still access all of the features on our site.
Collecting your Personal Information
Spinal Cord Injury Canada will ask you when we need any personal information. Generally, this information is requested when you are signing up to be part of a letter-writing campaign, signing up to receive e-news, sending in stories, making online donations or signing up for any other services offered by Spinal Cord Injury Canada. Personal information collected by Spinal Cord Injury Canada’s websites often is limited to e-mail address, name, postal code or location, but may include other information when needed to provide a service you requested. For example: If you choose to donate to Spinal Cord Injury in the Donations section of the website, we will request personal information via Canada Helps such as: e-mail, credit card number, name, address and telephone number.
Use of your Personal Information
Spinal Cord Injury Canada uses your personal information for three primary purposes:
- to make our websites easier for you to use by not making you enter your personal information more than once
- to help you quickly find services or information on either of our websites and/or microsites
- to alert you to service upgrades, special offers, updated information and other news and updates from sci-can.ca or Include-Me.Ca
Information is gathered about site visitors for the sole purpose of serving you better. Any personal information gathered by Spinal Cord Injury Canada is never for sale or traded to any third parties, and will not be divulged to a party other than Spinal Cord Injury Canada unless a Canadian law requires it.
