AFP Central Ontario Chapter Privacy Policy
The Association of Fundraising Professionals Central Ontario Chapter (“AFP CON”/”we”/”us”) serves the membership under the policies set out by the AFP Central Ontario Chapter Board of Directors. The AFP Central Ontario Chapter is committed to protecting privacy of those members that it serves. The AFP Central Ontario Chapter adheres to all legislative requirements and complies with the provisions of Canada’s anti-spam legislation (CASL) requirements per members’ consent and opt-in through the Chapter’s e-mail sign-up forms and as per the Association of Fundraising Professionals (AFP) Global’s member communications. This privacy policy describes how we collect, store, use and distribute information about our users through the Chapter’s website, sub-sites and services.
CONSENT
By using the AFP Central Ontario Chapter website, sub-sites and/or services, you consent to the use of your personal information as defined in this privacy policy. Except as outlined in this privacy policy, your personal information will not be used for any other purpose without your consent. We will not actively collect personal information for the purpose of sale or marketing in a way that specifically identifies the individual and we will not outsource, share, or sell any list information we collect. However, please note that by registering for AFP Central Ontario Chapter events you are consenting to have media (i.e. photographers) present and therefore may appear in candid event photos. Members may be asked at events to have their photos taken for AFP Chapter media/marketing purposes.
COLLECTION OF INFORMATION
We aim to collect, use, and disclose only such information as is required to enable us to effectively manage our membership database, to provide effective Chapter member services, to process membership services, workshop, and event payments and to respond to inquiries and/or provide feedback. We collect information to understand user needs, for identification and authentication purposes and for service improvement. Two types of information may be collected through the website and our services: Personal Information and Non-Personal Information.
Personal Information is any information that can be used to distinguish, identify, or contact a specific individual, such as individual’s name, address, e-mail address, and credit card information. If you choose not to provide certain requested personal information, in some instances you may not be able to register to use the services or to access certain features of Chapter services.
Non-Personal Information is anonymous information which does not identify an individual. Aggregate information, such as demographic data, number of visitors, pages accessed and visited by users, and average time spent on the Chapter website and sub-sites is not considered ‘Personal Information’. Business contact information such as the name, title, business address, e-mail address, or telephone number of a business or professional person or an employee of an organization is not considered ‘Personal Information’.
USE OF INFORMATION
We collect information for the following purposes:
- Registration for events: To register for Chapter events, individuals (this includes both members and non-members) must provide certain Personal Information to us such as your full name, phone number, email address, industry, job title and credit card information. Please note that by registering for AFP Central Ontario Chapter events you are consenting to have media (i.e. photographers) present and therefore may appear in candid event photos.

- Statistics: We also collect statistics about use of the Services. This information will be kept confidential, however, aggregate statistics that do not personally identify an individual will be kept by us and such aggregate statistics may be made available to other members or third parties.
- Advertisements: Advertisements appearing on the Chapter website and sub-sites may be delivered by us or one or more of our partners or other third-party web advertisers. Third party web advertisers may set cookies. For the privacy practices of such third-party web advertisers, you should consult the applicable privacy policy for the relevant third-party web advertiser(s).

DISCLOSURES & TRANSFERS OF INFORMATION
We have put in place contractual and other organizational safeguards with our agents to ensure a proper level of protection of your Personal Information. In addition to those measures, we will not disclose or transfer your Personal Information to third parties without your permission, except as specified in this Privacy Policy.
Important Exceptions: We may disclose your Personal Information to third parties without your consent if we have reason to believe that disclosing this information is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may be causing injury to or interference with (either intentionally or unintentionally) our rights or property, other website members, other users of the Services, or anyone else (including the rights or property of anyone else) that could be harmed by such activities. We may disclose Personal Information when we believe in good faith that such disclosure is required by and in accordance with the law.
SECURITY
The security of your Personal Information is important to us. We take technical, contractual, administrative, and physical security steps designed to protect the Personal Information that you provide to us. We have implemented procedures designed to limit the dissemination of your Personal Information to only such designated staff as are reasonably necessary to carry out the stated purposes we have communicated to you.
You are also responsible for helping to protect the security of your Personal Information. For instance, never give out your account information or your password for the Services to third parties.
RETENTION
We will keep your Personal Information for as long as it remains necessary for the identified purpose or as required by law, which may extend beyond the termination of our relationship with you. We may retain certain data as necessary to prevent fraud or future abuse, or for legitimate business purposes, such as analysis of aggregated, non-personally identifiable data, account recovery, or if required by law. All retained Personal Information will remain subject to the terms of this Privacy Policy. If you request that your Personal Information, be removed from our databases, it may not be possible to completely delete all your Personal Information due to technological and legal constraints.
