PLEASE REVIEW THIS POLICY CAREFULLY

The following describes how the North Peace Pride Society uses and disseminates information you provide through www.northpeacepridesociety.ca and its sub-domains and affiliated sites, as well as North Peace Pride Society pages and accounts on Facebook® and Instagram® (the “Sites). If you ever have questions about this Privacy Policy, please contact us at the information below. By using this Site, you are consenting to this Privacy Policy.

COLLECTION OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION.

Unless we expressly note otherwise, we do not collect personally-identifiable information from users of our Sites. When you visit our Sites, some information about your computer hardware and software is inherently automatically collected, such as your IP address, domain name, browser type, access time and referring website addresses. We typically do not use this information for any purpose, but an example of when we may use this information is in implementing improvements and analyzing the Sites and for troubleshooting purposes. We also utilize this information to monitor and improve services and to ensure that your use of the Sites is in compliance with our Terms of Use. Our services do not require any form of registration, allowing you to visit the Sites without telling us who you are. However, some services, such as email opt-ins may require you to provide us with Personal Data. In such a case, you may choose to without any Personal Data requested by us, but it may not be possible for you to gain access to certain parts of the site or content.

INTERNATIONAL PRIVACY LAWS AND YOUR RIGHTS UNDER THE GDPR

If you are visiting the Site from outside Canada, please be aware that you are sending information to Canada where our servers are located. Information you submit may then be transferred within Canada or back out of Canada to other countries outside of your country of residence, depending on the type of information and how it is stored by us. These countries (including Canada) may not necessarily have data protection laws as comprehensive protective as your country of residence; however, our collection, storage, and use of your data will at all times continue to be governed by this Privacy Policy.

If you are a member of the European Union (EU), you have special rights under the GDPR. Those include: You have the right to object to the processing of your data and the right to portability of your data. All complaints must be sent to our email: nppridesociety@gmail.com. You also have the right to erasure, rectification, access, or to seek restrictions to the processing of your personal data in our system. To the extent you provide consent to our processing of your personal data, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time. Any withdrawal of consent does not apply to data collected lawfully prior to such consent. You have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority containing jurisdiction over GDPR related issues.

COOKIES: WHAT THEY ARE, AND WHY THEY ARE  NEEDED

A cookie is a data text file sent from a website to your browser, for the purpose of identifying the user and allows access to portions of the website, thus alleviating the need to continually log in with your username and password. Cookies may be stored within your system. To the extent we use cookies, we can only access information from a cookie sent by one of the Sites, not other websites.
