Cookies. The Website uses cookies (small files containing program code that reside on your computer) to provide usage statistics about the Website, and to understand where visitors learn about the Website. We also may use cookies to simplify the re-entering of your data. You can adjust your browser settings to opt out of the use of cookies by having your browser disable cookies. Look for the cookie options in your browser in the Options or Preferences menu.
Log Files. When you use the Website, our servers automatically record certain information in server logs. These server logs may include information such as your web request, Internet Protocol (IP) address, browser type, referring/exit pages and URLs, number of clicks and how you interact with the Website, domain names, landing pages, pages viewed, mobile carrier and similar information. Log files help us to monitor, analyze, improve and maintain the Website and to diagnose and fix technical issues. Some of this data, such as your IP address, is truncated before it enters reports we might see.
Device Identifiers. When you access the Website using a mobile device, we collect information about your device contained in your mobile device’s “device identifier.” This device identifier includes information such as the type of device you are using, its operating system, app used and network information, which may include your location.

- DISCLOSURE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION:
We may share your personal information with trusted service providers who assist us in operating our organization, managing donations and conducting activities on our behalf. These service providers are required to maintain the confidentiality of your information.
Some of these service providers may be located outside of Canada. While outside of your jurisdiction of residence, personal information will be subject to applicable foreign laws, which may permit government and national security agencies to access your information in certain circumstances. For more information about the way in which our service providers treat personal information, please contact us as set out in the Contact section below.
We may disclose your personal information if required by law or if we believe it is necessary to protect our rights, safety, or property, or to comply with a judicial proceeding, court order or legal process.
4. THIRD PARTY LINKS:
The Website may contain links to other websites that Gilda’s Toronto does not own or operate. We provide links to third party websites as a convenience to the user. These links are not intended as an endorsement of or referral to the linked websites. The linked websites have separate and independent privacy policies, notices and terms of use. We do not have any control over such websites, and therefore we have no responsibility or liability for the manner in which the organizations that operate such linked websites may collect, use or disclose, secure and otherwise treat personal information. We encourage you to read the privacy policy of every website you visit.
5. SAFEGUARDS:
We protect personal information using safeguards that are appropriate to the sensitivity of the information. These safeguards may include measures to protect against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure or destruction of personal information. We limit access to personal information to our employees and service providers who require access in connection with their role or function. Each of our employees is responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of all personal information to which they have access. We keep our employees informed about our policies and procedures for protecting personal information. Despite these measures, since no system or security measure is completely secure, it is possible that personal information may be lost, stolen or accessed without authorization.
6. RETENTION OF PERSONAL INFORMATION
Personal information is retained as long as necessary for the fulfilment of the purposes for which it was collected, in accordance with prudent business practices on general document retention or as otherwise required by law.
