1. WHO WE ARE AND WHAT WE DO
SylvanLakeSupport is a service and help tool provided by the Seventh-day Adventist church which is a registered Canadian Non-Profit charity. We also provide a variety of services to facilitate the fundraising efforts of other registered charities in Sylvan lake, Alberta Canada.
SylvanLakeSupport collects and processes personal information through the following areas of operations:
Our website for donors offers a user-friendly way for individuals to donate or fundraise for their favourite Canadian charities and non-profit clubs on Sylvan Lake, Alberta located on this website. SylvanLakeSupport collects and processes the donor’s personal information submitted through the Website. At the donor’s express request, SylvanLakeSupport may also disclose personal information about its individual donors to the charities they support.
*Our tools and services for registered *Canadian charities and non-profit clubs are made available to charity representatives to use to collect donations and launch fundraising events online for the benefit of the charity they represent.
*Our services for partners are designed to promote and enable giving to registered Canadian charities and non-profit clubs. For example, some of our services enable corporate, employee or public giving programs.
All donations made through our tools and services (whether through our website for donors, our tools and services for registered Canadian charities and non-profit clubs, or our services provided to our partners) are made directly to Seventh-day Adventist Church (who issues donors their tax receipts). Seventh-day Adventist Church and SylvanLakeSupport transfers the donated amount (minus its non-commercial service fee) to the registered charity selected by the donor (unless, of course, your donation is intended by you to be to SylvanLakeSupport alone, in which case your donation in support of our activities is gratefully received and retained by SylvanLakeSupport in its entirety and administered by the Seventh-day Adventist church).
The registered charities that use SylvanLakeSupport’ tools may require you to provide personal information directly to them in addition to the personal information that you provide to SylvanLakeSupport. Charities using our tools and services for charities, and partners using our services, are required to agree to this Privacy Policy in its entirety. In addition, we have terms in place with each of our partners to ensure transparency to individuals using their services in regards to the role of SylvanLakeSupport and any associated fees. When you submit your personal information to other charities, you should be sure to read their privacy policies.
2. WHAT PERSONAL INFORMATION DO WE COLLECT ABOUT YOU?
Personal information means any information about an individual from which that person can be identified. It does not include personal information where all references to the identity of the relevant individual have been removed (anonymous personal information).
We may collect, use, store and transfer different kinds of personal information about you which we have grouped together as follows:
*Identity Personal information includes:
-username or similar identifier,
-first name, last name, title, company you work for, and in the case of individuals representing charities using our service, your job title, role and/or level of experience.
*Contact Personal information includes address, email address and telephone numbers.
*Financial Personal information includes bank account, credit card details and securities related information in the event you donate securities or mutual funds to SylvanLakeSupport (including your mutual fund or security name, number of units, investment firm, account number, financial advisor name, email, phone number.)
*Transaction Personal information includes details about payments to you (refunds) and from you (donations) and purchase of products (including a Charity gift card).

For example, we may aggregate your Usage Personal information to calculate the percentage of users accessing a specific website feature. However, if we combine or connect Aggregated Personal information with your personal information so that it can directly or indirectly identify you, we treat the combined information as personal information which will be used in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
We do not collect any Special Categories of Personal information about you (this includes details about your race or ethnicity, religious or philosophical beliefs, sex life, sexual orientation, political opinions, trade union membership, information about your health, and genetic and biometric information). Nor do we collect any information about criminal convictions and offences.

9. YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS
The vast majority of our donors and website users are Canadians and so our privacy policy has been drafted to help ensure compliance with applicable Canadian law. However, we have noted that (although we do not target our services to EU data subjects) some of our individual donors are from outside of Canada, including from the European Economic Area (“EEA”). For the benefit of such users, we also endeavor to provide adequate protection for the personal data of EU data subjects in accordance with applicable EU data protection laws and regulations, including the EU GDPR. Subject to certain exemptions, you have the following rights in relation to the Personal information we hold about you:
a. Your right of access
If you ask us, we’ll confirm whether we’re processing your Personal information and, subject to any applicable exemptions, provide you with a copy of that Personal information within the timescales provided for by law. We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it could take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated. If you require additional copies, we may need to charge a reasonable fee.
b. Your right to rectification
If the Personal information we hold about you is inaccurate or incomplete, you’re entitled to have it rectified. If you are entitled to rectification and if we’ve shared your Personal information with others, we’ll let them know about the rectification where possible and where this would not involve disproportionate effort. If you ask us, where possible and lawful to do so, we’ll also tell you who we’ve shared your Personal information with so that you can contact them directly.
c. Your right to erasure
You can ask us to delete or remove your Personal information in some circumstances such as where we no longer need it or if you withdraw your consent (where applicable because that was the legal basis on which we were processing your Personal information). If you are entitled to erasure and if we’ve shared your Personal information with others, we’ll take reasonable steps to inform those others where possible and where this would not involve disproportionate effort. If you ask us, where it is possible and lawful for us to do so, we’ll also tell you who we’ve shared your Personal information with so that you can contact them directly.
d. Your right to restrict processing
You can ask us to “block” or suppress the processing of your Personal information in certain circumstances such as where you contest the accuracy of that Personal information or you object to us. If you are entitled to restriction and if we’ve shared your Personal information with others, we’ll let them know about the restriction where it is possible for us to do so. If you ask us, where it is possible and lawful for us to do so, we’ll also tell you who we’ve shared your Personal information with so that you can contact them directly.
e. Your right to personal information portability
You have the right, in certain circumstances, to obtain Personal information you’ve provided us with (in a structured, commonly used and machine readable format) and to reuse it elsewhere or to ask us to transfer this to a third party of your choice.
f. Your right to object
You can ask us to stop processing your Personal information, and we will do so, if we are:
-relying on our own or someone else’s legitimate interests to process your Personal information, except if we can demonstrate compelling legal grounds for the processing; or
-processing your Personal information for direct marketing.
g. Your rights in relation to automated decision-making and profiling
You have the right not to be subject to a decision when it’s based on automatic processing, including profiling, if it produces a legal effect or similarly significantly affects you, unless such profiling is necessary for entering into, or the performance of, a contract between you and us.
h. Your right to withdraw consent
If we rely on your consent (or explicit consent) as our legal basis for processing your Personal information, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain products or services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.
i.Your right to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority
If you have a concern about any aspect of SylvanLakeSupport’ privacy practices, including the way we’ve handled your Personal information, you can report it to the relevant supervisory authority.
