Privacy Policy

Our commitment

CFG is committed to protecting the privacy of the personal information of its staff, members and other stakeholders. CFG values the trust of those we deal with, and of the public, and recognizes that maintaining this trust requires that we be transparent and accountable in how we treat the information that you choose to share with us.

During the course of our various projects and activities, CFG frequently gathers and uses personal information. Anyone from whom we collect such information should expect that it will be carefully protected and that any use of or other dealing with this information is subject to consent. CFG's privacy practices are designed to achieve this.

Defining personal information

Personal information is any information that can be used to distinguish, identify or contact a specific individual. This information can include an individual's opinions or beliefs, as well as facts about, or related to, the individual. Exceptions: business contact information and certain publicly available information, such as names, addresses and telephone numbers as published in telephone directories, are not considered personal information.

Where an individual uses his or her home contact information as business contact information as well, CFG considers that the contact information provided is business contact information, and is not therefore subject to protection as personal information.

Privacy practices

Personal information gathered by CFG is kept in confidence. CFG staff are authorized to access personal information based only on their need to deal with the information for the reason(s) for which it was obtained. Safeguards are in place to ensure that the information is not disclosed or shared more widely than is necessary to achieve the purpose for which it was gathered. We also take measures to ensure the integrity of this information is maintained and to prevent its being lost or destroyed.

We collect, use and disclose personal information only for purposes that a reasonable person would consider appropriate in light of the circumstances.

Website and Electronic Commerce

CFG uses password protocols and encryption software to protect personal and other information we receive when a product or service is requested. Our software is routinely updated to maximize protection of such information.

Updating of privacy policy

CFG is currently reviewing its privacy practices for its various activities, and a revised and more comprehensive version of this policy will be made available on this website over the coming months.

Contact Information

Question, concerns or complaints relating to CFG's privacy policy on the treatment of personal information should be e-mailed to info@canadianfamilieswithgalactosemia.ca, Attention: Privacy officer.

Further information on privacy and your rights in regard to your personal information may be found on the website of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada at www.privcom.gc.ca.
