This Privacy Policy outlines how Kind Works collects, uses, and protects your information. We are committed to transparency and ensuring your data is handled with the same care and respect we bring to our community initiatives.

​

Our practices are designed to comply with the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and Canada’s Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL).

​

1. Information Collection

We collect personal information only when you voluntarily provide it to us—for example, when you sign up for our newsletter, register as a volunteer, or contact us through the website. This may include:

• Name and contact information (email, phone number).

• Preferences regarding volunteer opportunities.

• Communication history with Kind Works.

​​

2. Use of Information

Any information collected by Kind Works is for internal use only. We use this data to:

• Coordinate volunteer activities and community projects.

• Send updates about our initiatives (with your consent).

​​

3. No Sharing, Selling, or Renting

Your trust is the foundation of our work.

• No Selling: We will never sell or rent your personal information to third parties.

• No Sharing: We do not share your data with outside organizations for marketing or any other commercial purposes.

• Third-Party Services: We only use trusted third-party tools (like website hosts or email delivery services) that are necessary to run our site, and they are contractually obligated to keep your information private.

​​

4. Anti-Spam Policy (CASL Compliance)

Kind Works is strictly "anti-spam." To ensure compliance with CASL, we adhere to the following:

• Consent: We only send commercial electronic messages (like newsletters or event invites) to individuals who have given express or implied consent.

• Identification: Every email from us will clearly identify Kind Works as the sender.

• Unsubscribe: Every electronic communication includes a clear and functional "unsubscribe" link. If you choose to opt-out, we will process your request promptly.

​​

5. Data Security and Retention

We take reasonable technical and organizational steps to protect your personal information from loss, theft, or unauthorized access. We retain your information only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected or as required by law.

​
