Dear Member;
On January 1st, 2004 new legislation came
into effect in the form of the Personal Information Protection and
Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA).
This legislation regulates the collection, use and
disclosure of personal information by organizations in the course of
commercial activity. Personal information is defined as information
about an identifiable individual and need not be recorded in any
particular form. Commercial activity is defined as any particular
transaction, act or conduct or any regular course of conduct that is
of a commercial character, including the selling, bartering or leasing
of donor, membership or other lists.
Please be assured that we do not give our membership
lists or information to anyone. All information gathered is kept in
confidence. The information gathered is used to solely deliver
services and to keep you informed and up-to-date on the activities of
the Manitoba Prostate Cancer Support Group, including programs,
services, special events, funding needs, opportunities to volunteer or
to give, open houses and meetings. If at any time you wish to have
your name removed from our contact list, simply contact us in writing
or via email to jgcourc@mts.net and we will gladly accommodate
your request.
Please do not hesitate to contact Joseph Courchaine
