ENACTUS CANADA PRIVACY STATEMENT
Our Commitment
At ENACTUS CANADA we are committed to protecting the privacy of the personal information of our students, faculty, employees, volunteers, donors, students and other stakeholders. We value the trust of those we deal with, and of the public, and recognize that maintaining this trust requires that we be transparent and accountable in how we treat the information you choose to share with us. During the course of our day-to-day activities, expositions, online portal and other activities, we frequently gather and use personal information. If we collect such information from you, you can expect that it will be carefully protected and that any use of or other dealing with this information is subject to your consent.
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 which are not considered personal information include business contact information and certain publicly available information, such as names, addresses and telephone numbers as published in telephone directories. Where an individual uses his or her home contact information as business contact information, we consider that the contact information provided is business contact information, and is not therefore subject to protection as personal information.

Our personnel are authorized to access such 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 that 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 are appropriate in light of the circumstances. We offer individuals we deal with the opportunity to opt not to have their personal information shared with our personnel and third parties for purposes beyond those for which it was collected.
All listings of ENACTUS CANADA program participants, Board of Directors, staff, financial contributors and other volunteers are considered strictly confidential and shall not be released for use by others outside ENACTUS CANADA except as provided for in this Privacy Policy without prior written and specific authorization or as may be required by law.
