Vermillion Institute complies fully with Alberta’s Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA) and Canada’s Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA).
We collect and use the personal information provided by supporters in only the ways that permission has been given, and only as necessary to allow correspondence and access to services and programs; we obtain permission before using personal information in new ways.
With regards to the personal identifying information provided to us: Vermillion Institute never sells, rents, shares, trades or otherwise discloses it to anyone outside of Vermillion Institute and its contractors, unless such disclosure is required by law.
Occasionally, we partner with or subcontract to other companies and individuals to enhance service delivery. Such companies or individuals may have access to personal information, but only as needed to perform their functions, and the information always stays under the control of Vermillion Institute people.
If, however, you choose to contract with or otherwise provide information directly to any of our supporters or to other organizations you learn about at this website, then you should know that each will apply a privacy policy that Vermillion Institute has not reviewed. Vermillion Institute is not responsible for outside parties’ privacy policies and you should review any such policies before providing any personal information.
