PRIVACY POLICY

Your privacy is important to us. Youth Unlimited Toronto YFC (YU) and associated programs and events have always been and are still committed to protecting the privacy of the personal information of its partners, callers, employees, supporters and associated parties. We value the trust of those we deal with and of the public and recognize that maintaining this trust requires that we be transparent and accountable in how we treat the information that users choose to share with us. This policy describes how the personal information of users is collected, shared, and used when users interact with this website, as well as other websites and applications we own and operate.

Personal Information We Collect

We collect information using logs, device information, form submissions, cookies, and tag managers (including “web beacons,” “tags,” and “pixels”) to learn how users browse the website.

Logs

When users visit our website, our servers may automatically log standard data provided by your web browser. This data includes information such as your computer’s IP address, browser version, the pages and products visited, the time zone, time and date, the time spent on each page, and the websites or search terms that referred users to the website.

Device Information

We may collect data about the device a user accesses our website with. This data includes the device platform, type, operating system, device settings, and geo-location data. The data collected depends on the individual settings of the device and software.

Form Submissions

When a user fills out a contact form, participates in a chat, or makes (or attempts to make) a purchase or donation through the Site, we collect certain information from users, which may include name, billing address, shipping address, payment information (including credit card numbers), email address, and phone number. We refer to this information as “Form Submissions”.

Cookies

We use “cookies” to collect information about users and their activity across our website. A cookie is a small piece of data that our website stores on a user’s computer and accesses each time the user visits so we can understand how our audience uses our website. This helps us serve our users' content based on informed decisions. Please refer to our Cookie Policy for more information.

Legal Bases For Processing

We process personal information lawfully, fairly and in a transparent manner. We collect and process information about our users only where we have a legal basis for doing so.

These legal bases depend on the services used, meaning we collect and use user data only where:

it is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the user is a party or to take steps at their request before entering into such a contract (for example, when we provide a requested service);
it satisfies a legitimate interest (which is not overridden by the user’s data protection interests), such as for research and development, to market and promote our services, and to protect our legal rights and interests;
the user gives us consent to do so for a specific purpose (for example, the user might consent to us sending a newsletter); or
we need to process user data to comply with a legal obligation.

Where the user consents to our use of information for a specific purpose, the user has the right to change their mind at any time (not affecting any processing that has already taken place). While we retain personal information, we protect it within commercially acceptable means to prevent loss, theft, unauthorized access, disclosure, copying, or modification. It is a commonly understood fact that no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure, and as such, we cannot guarantee absolute data security. If necessary, we may retain the personal information of users for compliance with a legal obligation or in order to protect the vital
interests of users or the vital interests of another natural person.

Collection And Use Of Information

We may collect, store, use, and disclose information for the following purposes, and personal information will not be further processed in a manner that is incompatible with these purposes:

to fulfill any orders or subscriptions placed through our website
to screen orders for potential risk or fraud
to enable a user to customize or personalize their experience of our website;
to enable a user to access and use our website, associated applications and associated social media platforms;
to contact and communicate with the user;
for internal records and administration;
for analytics, market research, and business development. This includes the operation and improvement of our website, associated applications and social media platforms;
to hold competitions or offer additional benefits to users;
when in line with the preferences a user has shared with us, for marketing and advertising, including sending promotional information about products, services, and information about 3rd parties that we consider to be of interest;
to comply with legal obligations or resolve any disputes that we may have;
to consider an application of a user, for example, a job application

Sharing Personal Information With 3rd Parties

We may disclose personal information for various reasons:

with our employees, volunteers, contractors, and related entities;
with 3rd party service providers for the purpose of enabling them to provide services, including (without limitation) IT services, data storage, hosting providers, advertising networks, analytics, debuggers, debt collection,

with courts, tribunals, regulatory authorities, and law enforcement officers, as required by law, in connection with any actual or prospective legal proceedings or in order to establish, exercise or defend our legal rights;
with law enforcement and first responders if any of our employees, contractors, or volunteers deem, or if the user reveals themselves to be: a danger to self, a danger to others, or has been involved in the neglect or abuse of minors;
to comply with applicable laws and regulations, to respond to a subpoena, search warrant or other lawful request for information we receive, or to otherwise protect our rights.

For more information about how targeted advertising works, users can visit the Network Advertising Initiative’s (“NAI”) educational page at http://www.networkadvertising.org/understanding-online-advertising/how-does-it-work.
