Non-Profit Membership

PRIVACY ACT ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

Valley Women’s Association (VWA) complies with federal and provincial privacy legislation and is committed to protecting our members’ personal information. The information we collect is used to process memberships and to communicate with members on a variety of issues of interest.

From time to time we are approached by organizations to distribute information to our members. In these cases VWA maintains control of the distribution and will under no circumstances make its membership lists available to those organizations.

Members of the VWA may contact you from time to time. It is recommended that members of the VWA obtain permission from the receiving party before forwarding unsolicited information.

Each Chapter of the VWA produces a directory which becomes a matter of public record. Once produced the VWA cannot guarantee that the information contained within the directory will not be distributed beyond control of the VWA.

Emails regarding meeting and other events may be sent from the VWA website from time to time. The personal information you provide when renewing hour membership or registering for an event will be protected. When you proceed with an online transaction a secure connection is established and your information is encrypted to prevent interception during the transaction. The secure connection is maintained until the transaction is complete or terminated.

VWA may gather data concerning traffic on the website for statistical analysis. This data is not linked to your personal information, and is used strictly to improve content of the site.

Our website may contain links to websites of other organizations that maintain their own privacy and security policies. This policy articulates the privacy practices of the VWA only.

Photographs and videos may be taken at our VWA events and may be published in a newsletter, on the website, on VWA Facebook pages, on VWA LinkedIn pages and other social media sites without the express and specific approval of the parties in the photograph.
