Privacy Policy
Your privacy is critically important to us. At Share International Foundation Canada (Share-International.ca) we have a few fundamental principles:
- We don't ask you for personal information unless we truly need it. (We will never ask you for things like your gender or income level for no apparent reason.)
- We don't share your personal information with anyone except to comply with the law or protect our rights.
- We don't store personal information on our servers unless required for the on-going operation of one of our services.
- We aim to make it as simple as possible for you to control what's visible to the public, seen by search engines, kept private, and permanently deleted.
Below is our privacy policy which incorporates these goals:
It is Share International Foundation Canada's (Share-International.ca) policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our website.
Website Visitors
Like most website operators, Share-International.ca collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. Share-International.ca's purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Share-International.ca's visitors use its website. From time to time, Share-International.ca may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.
Share-International.ca also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments. Share-International.ca only discloses logged in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below, except that blog commenter IP addresses are visible and disclosed to the administrators of the blog where the comment was left.
Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information
Certain visitors to Share-International.ca's websites choose to interact with Share-International.ca in ways that require Share-International.ca to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that Share-International.ca gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. Those who engage in transactions with Share-International.ca are asked to provide additional information, including as necessary the personal and financial information required to process those transactions. In each case, Share-International.ca collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor's interaction with Share-International.ca. Share-International.ca does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.
Aggregated Statistics
Share-International.ca may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its website. For instance, Share-International.ca may monitor the most popular posts on Share-International.us and may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, Share-International.ca does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.
Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information
Share-International.ca discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on Share-International.ca's behalf or to provide services available at Share-International.ca's website, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. Share-International.ca will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations, as described above, Share-International.ca discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental request, or when Share-International.ca believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of Share-International.ca, third parties or the public at large. Share-International.ca takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.

Share-International.ca uses cookies to help Share-International.ca identify and track visitors, their usage of Share-International.ca website, and their website access preferences. Share-International.ca visitors who do not wish to have cookies placed on their computers should set their browsers to refuse cookies before using Share-International.ca's websites, with the drawback that certain features of Share-International.ca's websites may not function properly without the aid of cookies.
Business Transfers

You acknowledge that such transfers may occur, and that any acquirer of Share-International.ca may continue to use your personal information as set forth in this policy.
Ads
Ads appearing on any of our websites may be delivered to users by advertising partners, who may set cookies. These cookies allow the ad server to recognize your computer each time they send you an online advertisement to compile information about you or others who use your computer. This information allows ad networks to, among other things, deliver targeted advertisements that they believe will be of most interest to you. This Privacy Policy covers the use of cookies by Share-International.ca and does not cover the use of cookies by any advertisers.
