The Lynn Valley Community Association (“LVCA”) knows that you care how your information is used and shared, and we appreciate you trusting that we will do so carefully and sensibly. To better protect your privacy, we provide this Privacy Policy Statement explaining our practices and the choices you can make about the way your information is collected and used by LVCA. The information below explains our policy regarding your privacy, both online and offline. By visiting www.lvca.ca or sharing personal information with LVCA, you are accepting the practices described in this Privacy Statement.

What Information Do We Gather?

The information we receive depends on what you do when you visit our site. We will not collect or retain any information about you personally (that is your name, address, phone number or e-mail address) unless you choose to provide it to us.

All web servers track basic information about their visitors. This information includes, but is not limited to, IP addresses, browser details, timestamps and referring pages. None of this information can personally identify specific visitors to this site. The information is tracked for routine administration and maintenance purposes.

How We Use this Information

Information is collected by us for various purposes. These purposes include but are not limited to; registering to receive emails, newsletters or other materials, requesting further information from us about projects and services (including memberships), donating to us, making requests, submitting a form on our website, or simply asking a question.

We receive and store any information you enter on our website or give us in any other way, online or offline. This information is retained and used in accordance with existing laws, rules, regulations, and other policies.

If you choose not to provide any information, we may not be able to fulfill your request or complete your membership, but you will still be free to browse the other sections of the website owned and administered by LVCA without telling us who you are or revealing any personally identifiable information about yourself.

Email Privacy Statement

Your email and name are kept completely confidential and NEVER sold or traded to ANY third party nor does LVCA send mailings on behalf of other organizations.

If you wish to be removed from our email lists and NOT receive further emails from us, use the ‘Unsubscribe’ link at the bottom of an announcement/eNews or send an email to info@lvca.ca. We will then, to the best of our abilities, remove your e-mail address from our databases within the 30 day requirement set by the Privacy Laws of Canada.

For example, if you post your email address along with a blog comment, you may receive unsolicited messages from other parties.

Privacy Practices of Third Parties

This Privacy Statement only addresses the use and disclosure of information by LVCA through your interaction with our Site and social media platforms.

Other websites that may be accessible through links from our Site have their own privacy statements and personal information collection, use, and disclosure practices. We encourage you to familiarize yourself with the privacy statements provided by these other parties prior to providing them with information as their privacy policy may differ from ours..

LVCA obtains client consent for any other use of its information (e.g., for a published article or public speaking presentation). In the event of subcontracting or other third party contracts, the other party(ies) must produce a privacy protection strategy that matches or exceeds that of LVCA.

Security of Personal Information

LVCA has implemented an information security program that contains administrative, technical and physical controls that are designed to reasonably safeguard collected information.
