We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting the personal information you share with us through our website, communications, or when you register for our community initiatives and leadership programs.

2. Information We Collect

We collect information that you voluntarily provide to us, as well as data gathered automatically when you interact with our site.

  • Personal Information: When you subscribe to our email updates, register for an account, or reach out to us, we may collect your name, email address, and any other details you choose to provide.
  • Event Registration Data: When you register for our events, ticketing and registration details are processed to manage attendance.
  • Comments: When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, as well as the visitorā€™s IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection.
    • Gravatar: An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
  • Media: If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.
  • Cookies: Our website utilizes cookies to enhance your browsing experience, remember your preferences, and maintain session integrity:
    • Comment Cookies: If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.
    • Login Cookies: If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser. When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select ā€œRemember Meā€, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.
    • Publishing Cookies: If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Facilitate event registrations and manage attendee lists.
  • Send administrative information, such as organizational updates, receipts, and meeting notices.
  • Deliver email newsletters and communications (in compliance with Canada’s Anti-Spam Legislation – CASL).
  • Maintain and optimize our website’s functionality and security.

4. Third-Party Integrations, Embedded Content, and Data Sharing

We do not sell your personal data. To operate effectively and deliver our programs, we partner with trusted third-party service providers. Your data is only shared or processed in the following circumstances:

  • Eventbrite: We use embedded Eventbrite tools for event listings and ticketing. When you register for an event, your data is processed securely through their platform and is subject to Eventbriteā€™s privacy policies.
  • Microsoft 365: We utilize Microsoft 365 for our organizational information technology and email routing. Communications sent to and from our domain are processed securely through this infrastructure.
  • Embedded Content From Other Websites: Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles, event registrations, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website. These external websites may collect data about you, use their own cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content (including tracking your interaction if you have an account and are logged in to that specific website).
  • Password Resets: If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
  • Spam Detection: Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.

5. How Long We Retain Your Data

We retain your personal information only for as long as is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy, or as required by Canadian federal and provincial laws applicable to non-profit organizations. Specifically:

  • Comments: If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
  • Registered Users: For users that register on our website, we store the personal information they provide in their user profile indefinitely. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (with the exception that they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

6. What Rights You Have Over Your Data

In accordance with the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA), if you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you have specific rights regarding your data:

  • Access & Export: You have the right to access the personal information we hold about you. You can request to receive an exported file of this data, including any data you have provided to us.
  • Corrections: You can request corrections to any inaccurate or incomplete data.
  • Data Erasure: You can request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. (Please note: This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes).
  • Withdraw Consent: You can withdraw your consent for us to use your personal information at any time (e.g., by unsubscribing from our mailing list).

7. Security of Your Information
