At Fondation Hôpital Charles-LeMoyne, we are committed to protecting the privacy of the personal information of our donors, patients, partners, employees and volunteers and to use it solely for the purposes of our activities in accordance with the laws in effect in Québec and Canada (in particular, Québec’s Law 25 and Canada’s Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act). We value the trust of the general public and the people we deal with. We are aware that to preserve this trust, transparency and responsible management of the data in our files are essential.
Since we are an organization that raises funds for the health and social services sector, we collect and use information on a daily basis for the purposes of providing our services, for example, but not limited to, soliciting contributions in various forms, and participating in events, draws or lotteries. The confidentiality of this information is important to us. We do not, under any circumstances, sell information pertaining to you, or disclose it to third parties, unless required to do so by law. We use all information, especially personal information, in accordance with the highest ethical standards.
This Privacy Policy aims to help you understand our personal information collection, use, disclosure and retention practices. By providing personal information to us (including via our website, through online donation, by subscribing to our newsletter, by completing a participation form for a benefit event or a draw, by email, in person or by phone), you agree to the processing set out in this Privacy Policy, and you authorize Fondation Hôpital Charles-LeMoyne and its service providers to process your personal information for the purposes set out below.
This Privacy Policy does not apply to third-party websites and Fondation Hôpital Charles-LeMoyne is not responsible for such third-party websites that may be accessible through links from this website.
