Since 1945, the Cancer Research Society (together, the “CRS”, “we”, “our” or “us”) is a Canadian not-for-profit organization whose mission is to fund research on all types of cancer to help prevent, detect, and treat this disease.

The CRS recognizes the importance of protecting the personal information of its various stakeholders or users (together, “stakeholders”, “user” or “you”) through this privacy policy (the “Policy”). The CRS further recognizes that it must maintain and use your personal information responsibly. The purpose of this Policy is to demonstrate its firm commitment to your privacy and security, and to advise you about the collection, use and disclosure of personal information provided by you through our website, other the CRS sites or microsites (collectively, the “Site”).

Our Policy also provides you with the ability to “opt out” of providing personal information that you do not wish to provide, and to access, change or remove any of your personal information which has been collected by us. Such requests must be made in accordance with this Policy. The CRS will only collect, use or disclose your personal information in compliance with this Policy.

By providing any of your personal information to the CRS, including information obtained by us during your visits to or use of the Site, you hereby agree to all of the terms and conditions of this Policy and consent to the collection, use and disclosure of your personal information as described in this Policy. Please note that except as is set forth in this Policy, we reserve the right to share anonymized and/or aggregated data acquired by us through your provision of your personal information with third parties.

The CRS commits to:

• Maintain the highest level of confidentiality with respect to the collection, use, and disclosure of personal information;


• Collect or use that information only after having provided the relevant information and obtained the necessary consent, unless such consent is not required by applicable law;


• Obtain the relevant authorization before disclosing any personal information to a third party;
  Respond to questions about the confidentiality of personal information.

“Personal information” is any information that identifies, directly or indirectly, or could be reasonably associated with, an individual (“individual” or “you”). This may include, for example, your name, contact information, email address, and information relating to your account with us (as the case may be). It may also include other types of information, but only when this information, individually or in combination with other information, can identify you as an individual. In general, personal information does not include business contact information, such as your name, title, or business contact information. Information that is anonymized and cannot be associated with an identifiable individual is not considered to be personal information.

Personal information we collect may include, but is not limited to, the following:

• Identifiers and contact information, such as your name, email and postal addresses, telephone number (for example, as requested when making a donation);


• Demographic information and interests, such as your age, gender, occupation, languages, types of activities you participate in and other interests;


• Contacts and connections, such as the names of contacts and their connection to you, and your affiliations with companies, institutions, foundations and other organizations;


• Transactional information, such as bank account information, e-transfer details; payment card details, donation amounts and donation history;


• Browsing activity on our Site, such as pages and events viewed, clickstream data, account login events, preferences, and IP addresses, if they can identify you as an individual;


• Geolocation information collected when you use our Site;


• Any other information you provide to us.

Online technologies

In addition to the personal information mentioned above, each time you visit the Site, the following information may automatically be obtained and compiled: your internet protocol (IP) address and the domain name registry information associated with that IP address; identification of your internet browser, operating systems and hardware platforms you are using; the date and time of your visit; the name and address (URL) of the web page you viewed immediately prior to accessing the Site; your entire query (if any) that was entered into a search engine which led you to the Site; and any other “click stream” data. This information may be stored in our log files.

Additionally, the complete record of your actions at the Site, including all pages visited, the time spent on each page, the information sent or received, and the names of all files uploaded or downloaded is collected. This tracking information may be compiled by us in the aggregate and be made available to third parties to identify demographic data regarding our users.

The technologies we use may include:

• Cookies, which are small data files that are saved on your computer when you visit a website so that information can be saved between visits, such as your login credentials or language preferences. For example, cookies allow you to log in quickly when you visit our Site. In certain cases, this information is only kept during the session and is deleted when you close your browser. In other cases, the information is stored on your hard drive and, upon your next visit to the Site, the cookies are used to recall such information. Cookies may store a variety of information, including, a unique user ID that can be used to track the pages of the Site you have visited and the number of times that you view a particular page or other item on the Site, and your preferences and your transaction history, where available.


• Web beacons and pixels, which are techniques used to track who is visiting a web page or has opened an email. This allows us to understand your online preferences, monitor our email delivery, and provide you with interest-based advertising. These tools also allow our third-party tracking tools to gather information, such as your IP address, and provide this back to us in an anonymized, aggregate form (i.e., in a manner that prevents us from identifying you personally). Aggregate information refers to personal information compiled and expressed in a summary form where no personal identifiers are included.


• Other technologies, such as analytics engines, which pull usage data from multiple sources and help manage and collect this data to use for personalization or customization of content and other methods to gain insights into our customers’ needs and preferences.

For this Policy, all these online technologies, i.e., cookies, web beacons, pixels, and other technologies are collectively referred to as “Cookies”.

We collect and use limited sensitive information.

As described above, we collect personal data that is described under some laws as sensitive personal data, special categories of personal data, sensitive personal information, or similar terms (collectively referred to here as “Sensitive Personal Data”). We provide below more information about which categories of the personal data described above may be designated as Sensitive Personal Data, and how we use these categories of Sensitive Personal Data. We only use Sensitive Personal Data to provide you our relevant services, and do not use such information to infer characteristics about you. Depending on what you choose to provide and how we interact with you, we may collect:

• Financial information to process your donations. We collect and use credit or debit card information and required security or access codes to process payments and fulfill any donation you make.

Note for Quebec residents: We do not collect sensitive data (as defined in the privacy laws) without your consent. Your consent will be collected when you sign up for services requiring such information.

Directly from you

We will collect personal information from you when you provide information to us, such as by making a donation, signing up for an event, completing an entry form, ballot or survey, signing up for our newsletter, by communicating with us by telephone, email or otherwise, or introducing or posting any text, image, video, audio, or any information, content or other materials through the Site. We may also maintain a record of your interests and acquire information about you from within the CRS.

With your consent

We generally collect your personal information with your consent, unless applicable law provides an exception to this principle (for example, to comply with our legal obligations, where necessary to establish, exercise or defend a legal claim or legal proceeding). By accessing the Site, donating funds, responding to surveys or emails, or otherwise providing information to us in connection with our programs, events, services or initiatives via the Site, you are providing your consent to the collection, use and disclosure of personal information as set out in this Policy. In some cases, your consent may be “implied”, i.e., your action or inaction at the point of collection, use or sharing of your personal information is interpreted as evidence of consent.

We will generally obtain consent when we want to use personal information for a new purpose or for a purpose other than those stated at the time of collection in this Policy or in the terms and conditions of a specific program, event, donation campaign, service or survey that you applied to, signed up for or participated in. Your consent can be withdrawn at any time, except in limited circumstances, including legal or regulatory requirements or because of your contractual obligations with us.

If you choose not to provide us with certain personal information or if you withdraw your consent, where such withdrawal is available, you may not be able to use, obtain or participate in the programs, events, opportunities to donate, services, surveys or information that you requested or that could be offered and provided to you.

From third parties

The CRS occasionally uses mailing lists received from other organizations. In such cases, the CRS requires that the organization provide only the names and mail addresses of individuals who have consented to the sharing of their information. If a person is contacted from one of these lists and has not consented to such sharing, we advise this person to reach out to the relevant organizations and further contact us to express their desire not to receive further communications from the CRS.

The CRS may also aggregate and anonymize personal information you have provided to create statistical data that the CRS may use to improve the site. The CRS may also share this aggregated and anonymized information with its partners. Such statistical data does not include personal information.

The CRS does not rent or sell any of your personal information to third parties, and will not disclose your personal information to any non-affiliated third party without your prior consent unless required by law or as necessary for the purposes provided below:

• In the course of their work, our employees may need to access your personal information, for example, when you contact us or request technical support. Their access is limited to what is necessary to perform their duties.


• We may disclose your personal information within or among the divisions of the CRS, so that different divisions may communicate with you (whether by email, telephone, post or otherwise) and provide you with promotional materials and additional information about its services, special programs, partnerships with third parties, events and initiatives that may be of interest to you, or collect and use that information subject to and for other purposes indicated by this Policy.


• We may transfer personal information to non-affiliated third-party service providers for processing on our behalf (such as canvassers who assist us with our donation efforts, fulfillment services, analytics, online payment services, technical support, delivery services and financial institutions). We require these service providers to limit their access to and/or use of personal information to what is required to provide their services and adhere to confidentiality as well as security procedures and protections. Moreover, the CRS implements reasonable contractual and technical safeguards to ensure that such third parties keep all personal information they access and/or use strictly confidential. Please note that these third parties may be located in locations other than your current location, in which case appropriate measures are taken by the CRS, as described below in the section, “Personal information outside of Canada.”


• We may decide to transfer all or part of our operations or activities to a third party, to merge with another entity, or to engage in another form of legal transaction (for example, in the event of a merger, acquisition, bankruptcy or sale of assets). In such circumstances, we may also share some or all of your personal information with the relevant third party (or its advisors) for purposes of due diligence process. If your personal information is required in connection with any such transactions, we will comply with the legal requirements for the disclosure of personal information and ensure that the handling of your personal information complies with applicable privacy legislation.


• Applicable laws may permit or require the use, sharing, or disclosure of personal information without consent in specific circumstances (e.g., to comply with applicable laws, to comply with an order of a judicial authority of competent jurisdiction, to comply with any legal process served on the CRS, to enforce or verify your compliance with agreements with the CRS, if any, when investigating and preventing suspected or actual illegal activities, including fraud, or to assist government and law enforcement agencies). These circumstances include situations when permitted or required by law or when necessary to protect the property, interests and rights of the CRS, our employees, donors, or others, or to act in urgent circumstances to protection the personal safety of users of the site or the public. If this happens, we will not share more personal information than is reasonably required to fulfill that particular purpose.

Other than as listed above, we may, with your consent, share or disclose your personal information outside of the CRS, in accordance with applicable laws.

Personal information we collect is hosted in secure systems hosted on servers that may be located outside your province, territory, or country of residence, including in Canada or in the US. Your personal information may in some cases be transferred to jurisdictions outside a given province (Québec, Ontario, British Columbia, and others) and/or Canada, to service providers or affiliated organizations. This includes third parties offering hosting services for the Site or providing payment processing systems for your donations.

As a result, you understand that your personal information will be subject to the laws of other jurisdictions than Canada and may be available to foreign government authorities under lawful orders and laws applicable in such jurisdictions. Regardless of the company or person who processes your information and where it is processed, we will take steps to protect your information in our custody, including personal information entrusted to an agent or service provider, whether they are located in Canada, the European Union, or other jurisdictions or countries in accordance with applicable data protection laws and this Policy. We strive to limit their access to personal information to that which is necessary to perform their assigned functions. Please be aware that we also strive to put in place contractual arrangements with these agents and service providers to ensure confidentiality and security of your personal information. This may include implementing robust and effective security measures. If you have additional questions about this, you may contact us.

We may include links on the Site to third-party sites or services that we do not control, for example, if you use an integrated feature of Google or social networks (Facebook, X, LinkedIn, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, etc.). Third parties that you connect with directly through hyperlinks or other information provided on our Site may collect, use or disclose your personal information, or link and combine information about you to other personal information they may have collected on you, to achieve their own goals and purposes.

When personal information is collected by any such third parties, the CRS does not collect, use or disclose such information, which is subject to the privacy policies of the third-party organization. We do not control the collection, use or disclosure of such personal information and the CRS encourages you to review the privacy policies of such third-party organizations.

The CRS has on the Site various social media plug-ins, such as Facebook’s “Like” button, which allow you to share your likes and interests in the CRS services, events, special programs and initiatives with your friends and contacts. When you use one of these social media plug-in protocols, the CRS will have access to this information as well. Facebook and other third-party social

Networks that provide plug-ins to enable social network features (e.g., to connect to Facebook) on the Site may use Cookies to gather information on your use of the Site. How this collected data is used by a third party is dependent on the privacy policy of the social network which is available on the appropriate parties’ website. The CRS encourages you to review the privacy policies of such third parties as well to understand their privacy policies and personal information collection practises. This Policy applies only to personal information processed by or on behalf of the CRS. We may also obtain and use analytical and statistical information from third-party social networks to help us measure performance and effectiveness of content we display on social networks, for example, by measuring impressions and clicks on the content the CRS promotes.

In certain cases, the CRS may have entered into a joint venture or partnership, or other form of participatory interest, with other organizations to provide certain platforms or services; for the purposes of this Policy, such joint ventures, partnerships or interests are also third parties to the CRS and are not included in the Site, except to the extent that the CRS is using that platform or service to provide the CRS services, events, or initiatives. For example, the CRS may have a participatory interest in a community event registration platform. The platform as a whole is a third party to the CRS and personal information collected, used and disclosed by that platform is subject to its own privacy policy, not this Policy. However, where the CRS joins that platform as a user and uses it to manage registrations for its own events, personal information the CRS obtains during such activities is subject to this Policy.

Any personal information collected through the use of Cookies by or on behalf of the CRS is treated with the same level of confidentiality as any other personal information held by the CRS.

Strictly necessary Cookies

These Cookies are necessary for the operation of the Site and cannot be disabled in our systems. Strictly necessary Cookies must be present for the Site to provide basic functions; they may include electronic billing. They also allow a user to navigate from one page to another without losing previous actions from the same session.

Nonessential Cookies

If you have consented to their use, the CRS and/or its third-party partners may also use the following nonessential Cookies in connection with the Site and Messages.

Cookies we use

The CRS may use different types of Cookies. As indicated below, some Cookies are strictly necessary for the proper functioning of the Site, while others are used with your prior consent for functional or performance purposes:

• Functional cookies These Cookies are not essential to the provision of our services. They allow us to personalize and improve the user’s experience and help us perform certain functionalities like sharing the content of the Site on social media platforms, collect feedback, and other third-party features. For example, if you have consented to their use, these Cookies will store your communication and language preferences.


• Performance cookies These Cookies are used to understand and analyze the key performance indexes of the Site which helps in delivering a better user experience for users.


• Advertisement cookies These Cookies are used to provide visitors with relevant ads and marketing campaigns. These Cookies track visitors across websites and collect information to provide customized ads. If you have consented to their use, we use these Cookies to collect information about your devices to display ads based on relevant topics that may be of interest to you. Advertisement Cookies are not essential to the navigation of the Site, but they allow you to receive a more relevant advertising offer, adapted to your centers of interest, on the Site, but also on other sites on which you could navigate. As such, advertisement Cookies allow, for example, the display of the advertisement, the capping of the display (consisting in not presenting to a user the same advertisement in a too repetitive way), the fight against click fraud, the invoicing of the display service, or the measurement of the targets’ appetite to the advertisement to better understand the target audience, among other things. Our partners may use these Cookies to determine whether our advertisements were displayed to you and whether you interacted with them. In this case, our partners share data with us, including statistics about the performance of our ads. Personalization of advertising content may also be achieved, using our partners’ technology, by associating your browsing information on the Site with the data you provided to us when you registered. The deposit or reading of such Cookies is made subject to obtaining your prior consent. The refusal of these advertisement Cookies has no impact on the use of the Site nor will it stop the advertising on the Site (if any). However, we may not be able to provide you with advertisements that take your interests into account.

If you would like more information on advertisement Cookies, visit allaboutcookies.org. You may also opt out of the use of these Cookies by following the instructions listed below.

• Social media cookies If you have consented to their use, we may use social network Cookies, such as the Facebook pixel, to provide you with personalized offers, to measure, optimize and build audiences for advertising campaigns delivered on social media platforms. The Site may also use Cookies for sharing content of the Site with social media platforms (such as LinkedIn, Facebook, X, Instagram, and YouTube), with other people or to let these other people know your consultation or your opinion concerning a content of the Site. If applicable, the social network providing an app button is likely to identify you through that button, when (i) you use the button, or (ii) even if you have not used the button, if you are logged in to the social network while viewing the Site (logged during your browsing), since sharing buttons link the content viewed to your user account. We have no control over the process used by social networks to collect information about your browsing on the Site and associated with the personal information they have. We invite you to consult the privacy policies of these social networks.


• Analytical cookies We may use analytical Cookies to better understand traffic patterns on the Site (for example, Google Analytics), to help us measure and improve the effectiveness of the Site and the Messages, and to determine whether those Messages have been opened and the links contained therein have been clicked. These Cookies are used to understand how visitors interact with the Site. These cookies help provide information on metrics, the number of visitors, bounce rate, traffic sources, etc., for statistical purposes only. All information that these Cookies collect is aggregated.

To refuse to be tracked by Google Analytics, please consult this module: tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. You can also refuse the use of analytics Cookies by following the instructions below.

If you would like more information on how to manage and/or disable nonessential non essential Cookies, please visit allaboutcookies.org

Through Cookies or mobile advertising identifiers.

As described above, we may use your personal information to provide you with targeted advertisements or Messages that we believe may be of interest to you, including advertisements for particular programs, services and events. If so, we share with our advertising partners information about your use of the Site, and your interaction with our advertisements on other websites. This personal information is collected using social media Cookies and/or advertising Cookies, as described above in the “How does the CRS use Cookies?” section. Some of this personal information will be shared directly with our advertising partners.

Based on your preferences on your mobile devices, the CRS and its advertising partners may also use your mobile advertising ID to target and measure the effectiveness of their advertising campaigns. In iOS, this identifier is called “IDFA” (ID for Advertising), in Android (Google Play), this identifier is called “AAID” (Android Advertising ID). You can access and reset your mobile advertising ID or limit its use through the operating system settings of your mobile devices.

Under no circumstances will the CRS allow advertising to children when it has actual knowledge that the user is under 14 years of age. To learn more about the CRS’s advertising practices, please contact the CRS as indicated in the “Contacting us” section.

With necessary and appropriate security measures

We strive to apply the necessary and appropriate security measures to ensure the confidentiality of personal information in our possession. In doing so, we follow generally accepted industry standards. Personal information in our possession is therefore only accessible to those individuals who have the authority to access it and who only consult it when necessary for the performance of their duties. We have adopted physical, technological and organizational processes and procedures to protect the confidentiality of personal information and to safeguard personal information against loss or theft, as well as unauthorized access, disclosure, copying, use or modification, considering, among other things, the sensitivity of the information and the purposes for which it is to be used. These measures include, for example, privacy impact assessments, contractual obligations, restricted access to the physical office and personal information. If you believe your personal information has been compromised, we invite you to contact us.

Retention period

We will store your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, or to comply with applicable legal, tax or regulatory requirements, and in accordance with the CRS’s automatic computer back-up procedures and document retention policies, except where otherwise required or permitted by law. At the end of this period, we will endeavour to destroy or anonymize such information.

In determining the appropriate retention period for your personal information, we consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of personal information involved, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your personal information, the Purposes for which we process your personal information and the possibility of achieving those Purposes by other means, as well as any applicable legal, tax or regulatory requirements. If you would like more information on this subject, please contact us.

At any time, you may request deletion of your account by contacting us.

What is “phishing”?

“Phishing” is a scam designed to obtain personal information. If you receive an email which appears to be from the CRS requesting any personal information, please do not respond. We do not request any personal information by email. Note that for certain programs, you may receive an email inviting you to provide certain information through an online platform. Please ensure that the address is legitimate and not a “phishing” scam. If you are uncertain, please contact our privacy officer.

Children’s privacy

Considering the importance of protecting children’s privacy, we do not intend the Site for child audiences, and we do not seek to purposely collect, process or use on the Site any information relating to an individual whom we know to be under fourteen (14) years old without the prior, verifiable consent of his or her parent or other legal representative. If a parent or guardian discovers that his or her child has provided us with personal information, such parent or guardian has the right, upon request, to view the information provided by the child and/or to require that it be deleted from our records. In such a case, we ask that the parent or guardian of the child contact us at the contact information provided in the “Contacting us” section below for such purpose.
