We Respect Your Privacy

This notice explains our online information practices. By visiting the Canadian Landmine Foundation (CLMF), you are accepting the practices described in this Privacy Notice.

Information We Collect and How We Use It

Two types of information are collected:

1. Personal, or 'individually identifiable', information you provide to us; and
2. Standard web server/visitor traffic information, commonly referred to as 'aggregate information', regarding overall website traffic patterns. We do not report on individual user sessions. Web servers normally collect this type of basic information as part of their web log processes.

Individually Identifiable Information

There are instances when the CLMF requests individually identifiable information from its users. Information we may request includes first and last name, street address, city, province, postal code, telephone number, e-mail address and subject of inquiry (e.g., Host a Dinner or information requests).

Cookies will not be used to retrieve or store any personal or sensitive information.

In the case of contributions:
We process standard credit card information through a recognized third party credit card processing gateway (card number, card type, expiration date) via a secure, encrypted SSL session. SSL is the proven standard for secure web messaging transactions.

Occasionally, the CLMF may contact individuals who have provided their individually identifiable information through the website (and have agreed to be contacted) in order to conduct surveys seeking feedback. These surveys are used for quality assurance purposes and to improve our level of service to you.

Aggregate Information

In addition to information provided by our visitors, we use the normal Internet tracking tools associated with standard Internet protocols and web-based systems. This system information is typically stored in log files and the information is used for aggregate reporting. Aggregate reporting includes total number of visitors, most visited sections, peak traffic times, etc. Log files are simply transaction records web servers maintain. Those logs are used for recording information, such as:

• service provider IP addresses;
• browser versions;
• referring websites;
• search terms used;
• average number of pages requested;
• average duration of visit;
• total visitor traffic.

We use aggregate information gathered from your visit to better design our website. This information supplies us with a broad picture of how people use our website in order to help the management of our systems and to better serve our audience.

Donation Information

We maintain records of all contributions to the CLMF. Personal information is private and confidential. Additionally, all information is stored in a secure location accessible only by authorized staff. The CLMF may contact you with further communications.

Our Commitment To Data Security

To prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy and ensure the correct use of information, we strive to maintain physical, electronic and administrative safeguards to secure the information we collect online. This includes the use of the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) for processing contributions securely.
