Educ.Action believes strongly in protecting the privacy of the personally identifiable information you share with us. We also believe it is important to inform you about how we will use your personal data, and to give you choices about how your data will be used. Therefore, we encourage you to read this Privacy Policy carefully. 

 This Privacy Policy sets out the privacy policies and practices for Educ.Action with respect to our collection, use, and disclosure of personal information in respect of our website www.educ-action.org. 

 This Privacy Policy may be updated by Educ.Action giving reasonable notice of the revised terms (including by e-mail or by posting on the Site), and this Privacy Policy may be supplemented or modified by agreements entered into between Educ.Action and an individual from time to time. 

 In this Privacy Policy, "personal information" means any information about an identifiable individual, as further defined under applicable Canadian laws. 

 Collection and Use of Personal Information

•  Educ.Action collects and uses personal information from customers and others (an "Individual") as follows: 

Educ.Action may collect and maintain personal information such as an Individual's name, contact information, payment card information and purchase history when an Individual subscribes for services on our website. 

Educ.Action may collect personal information from an Individual where the Individual submits a registration to an activity or a camp organized by Educ.Action or for an employment opportunity. 

When participating in a contest or promotion, we may collect personal information, such as a contest winner's name, the school’s name of his child, and prize winnings in order to award prizes and promote such contests. This information may be published in connection with contests.

From time to time, we may obtain an Individual's consent to use the Individual's contact information to provide periodic newsletters or updates, announcements and special promotions regarding Educ.Action products and services.

In order to use certain features on the Site (such as to make publicly available personal information about yourself and others), an Individual may be required to register and provide personal information such as name, email address, location (i.e. city, province, postal code), information about their children to register, a user name and password that the Individual chooses. We use this information to identify you, provide the requested feature and also to produce some receipts or government tax statement.

When you contact us with a comment, question or complaint, you may be asked for information that identifies you (such as your name, address and a phone number) along with additional information we need to help us promptly answer your question or respond to your comment or complaint. We may also retain this information to assist you in the future and to improve our customer service and product and service offerings.

•  Depending on an Individual's browser settings, the Site may use cookies. A cookie is a tiny element of data that our Site can send to an Individual's browser, which may then be stored on their hard drive so we can recognize them when they return to the Site. We use cookies to deliver content according to the Individual's preferences and to save the Individual's password so that the Individual is not required to re-enter it while the Individual uses the Site.
