At The Terry Fox Foundation's website, terryfoxclub.org, we understand and appreciate the concerns that parents and families may have with regard to information gathered about Site users surfing our website.
The Terry Fox Foundation's terryfoxclub.org website gathers different kinds of information from its visitors for contests.
Personal Information for Contests
A user can enter a terryfoxclub.org contest through our website, terryfoxclub.org. If a user is under the age of majority in the province or territory where they live, we require parental consent prior to the submission of a user's personal information. On the online entry form, we ask for personal information, such as your name and address. This personal information is collected, used and/or disclosed solely for the purpose of awarding contest prizes and tracking compliance with the official rules and regulations. The Terry Fox Foundation only uses and discloses a contest winner's name after receiving prior written consent from the winner (or their parent/guardian) and the appropriate release forms are fully completed by a parent/guardian and returned to The Terry Fox Foundation.
All contest and stored information, including personal information, received from our visitors remains the exclusive property of The Terry Fox Foundation and is not sold or distributed. Contest entry names and information are seen only by The Terry Fox Foundation. Such information is stored in a secure location.
Each employee of The Terry Fox Foundation involved in terryfoxclub.org is bound by a confidentiality policy that they agree to abide by upon employment and is trained to carry out and implement terryfoxclub.org's Privacy Policy.
General website Traffic
terryfoxclub.org tracks the number of visits to our Site. For example, we count how many times people access a page on the Site. All information gathered in this way is generic, and we do not track any individual users from this, but only calculate how many visits have taken place.
Membership
terryfoxclub.org is a Site for kids. Therefore, there are certain laws that we are required to follow.
One of the rules is that users under the age of majority require parental consent prior to providing any personal information. However, there are other important privacy measures we take such as never asking for more personal information than what we deem necessary - and storing any information we do collect in a secure database only accessible by designated staff of The Terry Fox Foundation.
Any personal identifiable information collected from our members is for terryfoxclub.org purposes only (e.g. contest fulfillment) We will never sell or give any of this information to third parties.
Please keep in mind that this Privacy Policy applies to terryfoxclub.org only. Occasionally, we may have links to other Sites. Although we do our best to ensure that these third parties share our views about privacy protection and safety, we don't have control over how they collect and use personal information from visitors. That's why it is always a good idea to check out a Site's privacy policy - even if you've linked to it from terryfoxclub.org.
We review this policy regularly and will update it (and other sections of our website) whenever necessary. If there are ever changes made to the way we collect or use personal information, we will indicate that our privacy policy has been updated.
Any questions, comments or requests concerning the terryfoxclub.org Privacy Policy can be directed to privacy@terryfoxrun.org or to The Terry Fox Foundation, 303 - 46167 Yale Road, Chilliwack, BC, V2P 2P2, telephone 604-701-0246.
