The Calgary Health Trust is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Statement describes the practices employed by the Trust relating to information provided to us from this web site that personally identifies you (“Personal Information”). Collection of Personal Information We do not collect Personal Information about you when you visit our site, unless you choose to provide such information to us. There are certain activities on our site that will require you to provide certain information in order to participate. For example, activities such as making a donation, purchasing an event ticket, subscribing to a newsletter, joining our on-line community, or creating a personal page all require limited personal information in order to participate. We do not collect any personal health information. Use of Personal Information We do not sell, rent or loan the personal and financial information that you provide to us. The information you share with us will be used for administrative and/or communication purposes such as issuing income tax receipts or event tickets, communicating with you about your support, sending you newsletters and reports and providing you with opportunities to volunteer or contribute. We may combine the Personal Information that you have provided to us with other information that is publicly available or that we receive from trusted sources. Opting Out You may opt-out of receiving any and/or all communications from us by contacting us at siteadministrator@thetrust.ca, calling us at 403-943-0615 or, if you are registered as an on-line user, logging in and changing your preferences. Updating Personal Information If you choose to register as a user of our on-line community, you will be able to view and edit much of your Personal Information directly by logging into your account. Otherwise, we will update your Personal Information when we are notified of changes. You may inform us of changes to your information by sending an e-mail to siteadministrator@thetrust.ca or by contacting us at 403-943-0615. Disclosure of Personal Information The Calgary Health Trust works with certain trusted organizations to act on its behalf by performing such functions as processing credit card payments, hosting our web site and mailing certain materials. Those entities are provided with only the information needed to perform their specific function and they may not use such information for other purposes. They are bound by contract to maintain the confidentiality and security of personal information and are restricted from using such information in any way not expressly authorized by the Calgary Health Trust. From time to time, the Calgary Health Trust may be required to disclose personally identifiable information to certain local, provincial and national authorities, for compliance purposes or to cooperate with their investigations. Collection of Non-Personal Information IP address information is not logged in our database. We track visits, views and hits but do not store information specific to each individual session.
Our Web site uses limited cookies. Cookies are small text files that are stored on a user's computer and allow web sites to remember information about users. The ‘Remember Me’ functionality on the User Login Form uses cookies to maintain login credentials during the browser session. Personal Information Contained in User Content Some sections of our Web site may allow users to publicly post or transmit messages, comments, photos, screen names, computer files and other materials. The Calgary Health Trust does not actively monitor such activities and is not responsible for any personally identifiable information or other information that may be contained in such postings and transmissions. However, the Trust will act to remove inappropriate content or to suspend a user’s privileges when notified of abuses. Users may notify the Trust by sending an email to siteadministrator@thetrust.ca or by calling 403-943-0615. Security We take every precaution to protect our online users’ information. When our online registration, donation or ticket forms ask you to enter sensitive information, we use SSL encryption technology to prevent such information from being intercepted and read as it is transmitted over the Internet to our servers. The Calgary Health Trust also employs many other security measures such as firewalls, passwords and restricted access to ensure that information that you provide is safely stored in our database. However, even with the best available security at a point in time, no method of transmitting or storing electronic data is ever completely secure and therefore we can not warrant or guarantee that such information will never be accessed and used in a manner that is inconsistent with this Privacy Statement. Links To and From Other Web Sites We may provide links on our Web site to other relevant sites. These sites operate independently of the Calgary Health Trust and have established their own privacy and security policies. We encourage you to be aware when you leave our site and to read these policies at any site you visit. The Calgary Health Trust is not responsible for the privacy practices of third party websites, which may be linked to our site. Notification of Changes To Our Privacy Statement If we change our privacy statement, we will post those changes on the privacy page of this website so our users are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under circumstances, if any, we disclose it. We will use information in accordance with the privacy statement under which the information was collected. If at any point we would like to use personally identifiable information in a manner different from that stated at the time it was collected, we will notify users by way of an email. Users will have a choice as to whether or not we use their information in this different manner. Questions If you have any questions about our privacy statement please feel free to contact us at 403-943-0615 or siteadministrator@thetrust.ca. By using this website, you consent to the collection of information in accordance with the terms of this privacy statement.
