Personal Information

Personal information is any information about an identifiable individual, including: name, home address, age, health, and financial information. It does not include information that cannot be tracked back to a specific individual. In addition, information that is publicly available, such as a telephone book listing, is not considered to be personal information. The history of an individual’s donations to Green Communities Canada is personal information. 

Where an individual uses their home contact information as business contact information as well as personal, we consider that the contact information provided is business contact information, and is not therefore subject to protection as personal information. 

Where we choose to have certain services, such as fundraising and processing services, provided by third party service providers, we select the service providers very carefully. We take all reasonable precautions to ensure that the service provider protects your Personal Information. 

Information collected through contact forms for the purpose of providing a service will be disclosed only to the Green Communities Canada member organization that provides the relevant service in the area where you reside.
