Privacy Policy

GrainAction.ca respects the privacy of those who visit our web site or receive our mailings. To support this commitment, we have adopted the following privacy policy which we invite you to review. Please note that this policy governs your use of this site. This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time. The most current version will be posted at www.GrainAction.ca/en/privacy.html

Collection and Use of Personal Information

Personal information such as your name, postal address, e-mail address, and telephone and fax numbers is collected in order to communicate with supporters and potential supporters by mail, telephone or e-mail for purposes that include updating you on our activities, and involving you in advocacy initiatives. If you contact us, we may keep a record of that correspondence. We will ask you for personal information when you subscribe to our e-mail mailing list, take part in a fax or e-mail campaign, or when you report a problem with this site. We may also occasionally ask you to complete surveys that we use for research. We may obtain your personal information from an organization that has obtained your consent to share your information with other organizations, in which case the purposes for which your information was collected by that organization will continue to apply.

This site logs IP addresses and browser information for purposes of system administration, identifying technical difficulties, evaluating traffic patterns and site usage, and otherwise providing content relevant to site visitors. Information held in aggregate form may also be used to evaluate supporter/member demographics and involvement in our campaigns.

Disclosure and Transfer of Personal Information

We disclose personal information to third party contractors for the purposes of maintaining internal records and communicating with you. To advance our cause by attracting new supporters, we occasionally share contact information on a selective basis with other compatible organizations which may communicate with you regarding membership, services or products, unless you withheld your permission for us to do so at the time we originally collected your information, or you subsequently advised us that you did not wish your contact information shared with others. We will otherwise release personal information only with your express consent. Where we release your personal information to third parties, GrainAction.ca first requires them to agree to use such personal information in accordance with this Privacy Policy and Canadian privacy laws.

Consent

You hereby consent that GrainAction.ca may collect, use, store, maintain, transfer, and remove your personal information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. If you prefer that we not use or disclose your information for any or all of the purposes specified in this Privacy Policy or at the time of collection, you may notify us at any time. In particular, we will honour all requests not to disclose personal information to other organizations, whether made at the time the information is provided or subsequently, and will promptly remove your name from our e-mail lists upon request. If you do not notify us, we will consider you to have consented to our continued use and disclosure of your information for the specified purposes.

Accessing, Modifying, or Removing your Information

Under Canadian privacy laws, you have the right to inquire whether GrainAction.ca holds personal information about you, access such personal information, and correct any personal information about you that is inaccurate. If your information changes or becomes inaccurate, or if you would like to remove your information from our records, please send a request using one of the contact methods listed below and include your name, address, telephone number so that we can identify you.

Information Security and Integrity

When you provide personal information to this site, such information is protected by secure sockets layer (SSL) encryption and stored on secured third party servers located in one or more of Toronto, Ontario, Canmore, Alberta, and Vancouver, British Columbia, or in other locations governed by this Privacy Policy. GrainAction.ca takes reasonable steps to protect your personal information from loss, misuse, or other unauthorized uses, and to remove your personal information when it is no longer required for its intended purposes. GrainAction.ca cannot, however, guarantee that loss, misuse, or unauthorized use will never occur and makes no representations or warranties to this effect.
