Confidentiality Policy
TGLN's Privacy Policy
TGLN places a high value on privacy, both in person and on-line. Please visit TGLN's general privacy page to learn more about our overall commitment to protecting the personal information of individuals whose personal information we collect. These pages contain general information about our privacy practices and how to contact our privacy officer. (www.giftoflife.on.ca/en/privacy.htm)
Personal Information about You
TGLN does not collect information that personally identifies individuals except when individuals provide such specific information on a voluntary basis. There may be occasions where specific personal information is requested before an individual can enter certain sections of the Website.
For example, individuals need to create an account to access certain restricted portions of the Website, including to create a "Gift of 8 Movement" page. To create your "Gift of 8 Movement" page on the Website, TGLN will collect your name, your email address, your phone number, your postal code (in whole or part) and your community of residence. TGLN collects this personal information in order to manage your "Gift of 8 Movement" page and in order to collect and post geographic information about users of the Website.
TGLN may contact you by email or by telephone in order to:
- ask for permission to feature you in our marketing materials
- ask for permission to provide your contact information to the media
- notify you if there are problems with your campaign page
You may refuse to provide this personal information, in which case you will not be able to create a campaign page.
We only use this personal information for the express purpose for which it was collected unless the user specifically agrees to the use of the personal information for additional purposes.
In all such cases, TGLN will collect only information that is voluntarily provided by the user and undertakes that such information will not be sold or made available to a third party. It will be disclosed only where required by law.
Permitted Personal Information
You may not post personal or identifying information about any third party on your campaign page. You may tell your own story, with limitations as outlined in the page creation instructions. If you are telling a story about a third party, you may only in general terms, specify your relationship to the third party (such as loved one, family member, friend) and their connection to donation and transplantation (such as deceased donor, living donor, heart transplant recipient, cornea recipient, waiting for a lung transplant, etc.), with limitations as outlined in the page creation instructions.
TGLN moderates the content on the Website (see our Terms of Use) and information which identifies any third party, explicitly or by other means, will not be approved.
Choosing to Make Page Private
You may choose to limit to whom access to your campaign page may be granted by making it private, meaning it will not be available by searching the BeADonor.ca website. This is your choice. However, because of the sophistication of Internet search engines, TGLN cannot guarantee that others (to whom you have not granted access) will not be able to access your page.
Access to Your Personal Information
As a user of the Website who has provided personal information to TGLN, you can have access to your personal information through your campaign page to correct or update any of your personal information on the Website or to delete the personal information you provided on this Website from our records. You may also contact TGLN's privacy officer at 416-363-4001 to update or correct any personal information that TGLN may have retained about you outside the Website.
Retention of Personal Information
TGLN will retain your personal information for one (1) year after last use of such personal information by TGLN (for example, when your page is removed or terminated), as required by law.
