St. John's Vancouver Anglican Church ("St. John's") is committed to respecting your privacy by adhering to the privacy principles set forth in the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act. Those principles are:

Principle 1. Accountability

All St. John's staff are accountable for compliance with this policy, including the guiding principles.

Principle 2. Identifying purposes

St. John's only collects personal information necessary to communicate with our members, attendees and prospective attendees.

Principle 3. Consent

All members, attendees and prospective attendees have the ability to consent to the use of their personal information.

Principle 4. Limiting collection

The St. John's website is available without telling us who you are or revealing any information about yourself, including your email address.

Like any other website, our web server may collect the name, address, IP address and domain you used to access the website, the type and version of web browser and operating system you are using, and the number/duration/frequency of visits to our website. This anonymous information cannot be traced to a specific individual user, but is used simply to measure the number of visits, average time spent, page views, most popular preferences and other statistics, to determine the ways in which users prefer to use the website. We may use this data to monitor the website's performance for systems administration purposes, to improve the website, and to track statistics such as web traffic in aggregate form. In cases where the collection of personal information is necessary (i.e. filling out a form, requesting more information or contacting us), we will explain the purpose for collecting each piece of personal information. If it is necessary to use the personal information collected for a purpose not identified when the information was collected, consent for the new use will be obtained.

Principle 5. Limiting use, disclosure and retention

St. John's will use personal information only for the purpose for which it was collected, and will not disclose the information to other parties.

All personal information provided to St. John's will be maintained in a secure manner to ensure that its use is limited to the purpose for which it was collected.

Principle 6. Accuracy

St. John's will take all reasonable measures to ensure accuracy of any personal information that we collect.

Principle 7. Safeguards

St. John's will assess and implement appropriate measures to properly protect personal data. These measures will be subject to independent audit, if necessary, to ensure their effectiveness.

Principle 8. Openness

This St. John's Privacy Statement will be available to any individual via our website. Questions regarding personal information may be directed to staff@sjvan.org

Principle 9. Individual access

On request, individuals will be informed of the existence, use, and disclosure of their personal information, and will be given access to view that information. An individual may challenge the accuracy and completeness of the information, and have it corrected or amended as appropriate.
