Privacy Policy

Effective Date: September 18, 2025

​

This Privacy Policy describes how the Frontenac Arch Safe Passage Campaign (an extension of the A2A Collaborative, hereinafter "we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and discloses information gathered through our website, [frontenacsafepassage.org] (the "Site").

 

1. Our Commitment to Your Privacy

We are committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect, why we collect it, and how we use and protect it. By using our Site, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy.

 

2. Information We Collect

We collect two main types of information from visitors to our Site:

  • Personally Identifiable Information (PII): This is information that can be used to identify you directly. We only collect PII that you voluntarily provide to us by signing up to our newsletter or campaign updates. This includes: Name, Email Address, and Country.

  • Non-Personally Identifiable Information (Non-PII): This is information that cannot directly identify you. Our website may automatically collect certain non-PII, such as:

    • IP Address: Your Internet Protocol (IP) address is a numerical label assigned to your device by your internet service provider. While an IP address can, in some contexts, be linked to a general location, it does not directly identify you as an individual. We use IP addresses for purposes such as website analytics, understanding geographic distribution of visitors, and security.

 

3. How We Collect Information

We collect information in the following ways:

  • Directly from You: We collect PII directly from you when you voluntarily provide it through forms on our Site (e.g., sign-up forms for newsletters or campaign updates).

  • Automatically through Website Technologies: Our website hosting provider or analytics tools may automatically collect non-PII, such as IP addresses, browser type, operating system, referring URLs, and pages visited, through standard website technologies like cookies (see Section 5) and server logs.

 

4. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

  • To Communicate with You: We use your name and email address to send you updates about the Frontenac Arch Safe Passage Campaign, newsletters, campaign alerts, and other relevant information.

  • To Understand Our Audience: We use location information to understand the geographic reach of our campaign and to send you localized action alerts. We use IP addresses for general geographic understanding and to analyze website traffic patterns.

  • To Improve Our Website: We may use non-PII, such as IP addresses and website usage data, to understand how visitors interact with our Site, identify popular content, and improve the user experience.

  • For Security and Troubleshooting: IP addresses may be used for website security purposes, to detect and prevent fraudulent activity, and to diagnose technical problems.

​

5. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Our Site may use "cookies" and similar tracking technologies. A cookie is a small text file placed on your device by a website that you visit. We may use cookies to:

  • Analyze Website Usage: To understand how visitors use our Site and to improve its functionality and content.

  • Remember Your Preferences: To enhance your experience on our Site.

You can set your browser to refuse all or some browser cookies, or to alert you when websites set or access cookies. If you disable or refuse cookies, please note that some parts of this Site may become inaccessible or not function properly.

​

6. Disclosure of Your Information

We do not sell, rent, or trade your Personally Identifiable Information to third parties.

We may disclose your information in the following limited circumstances:

  • Service Providers: We may share your information with trusted third-party service providers who perform functions on our behalf, such as website hosting, email delivery services, or analytics providers. These service providers are obligated to protect your information and only use it for the purposes for which we disclose it to them.

  • Legal Requirements: We may disclose your information if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g., a court order or government agency request).

  • Protection of Rights: We may disclose your information when we believe it is necessary to protect our rights, property, or safety, or the rights, property, or safety of others.

  • As part of A2A Collaborative Operations: As the Frontenac Arch Safe Passage Campaign site is an extension of a2acollaborative.org, data collected may be processed and managed within the A2A Collaborative's existing data infrastructure, subject to the overall A2A Collaborative privacy practices, which are consistent with the principles outlined here.

 

7. Data Security

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect the information we collect from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. However, no internet transmission or electronic storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security of your data.

 

8. Links to Other Websites

Our Site may contain links to other websites that are not operated by us. We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party sites or services. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party websites you visit.

 

9. Children's Privacy

Our Site is not intended for children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect Personally Identifiable Information from children under 13. If we become aware that we have inadvertently received PII from a child under 13, we will delete such information from our records.
