Privacy

Every non-profit is required by law to have a privacy policy for the collection, use, disclosure, and retention of personal information. In this area you’ll learn about what your organization needs to do to create or maintain your policy, how and why to train your team on privacy rules, how to comply with Canadian Anti Spam Law (CASL) and more.

Start with our Legal Help Guides and answer a series of questions to see where your organization stands. Once completed, you’ll receive a To-Do list of items that you can share with your team.

You can also navigate directly to fact sheets, FAQs, sample documents, and helpful links in the Privacy Policy Resource drop down menu below.
