This policy statement has been prepared to affirm Club commitment to maintaining the privacy of participants, donors, stakeholders and others and to inform participants of Club practices concerning collection, use and disclosure of Personal Information provided to the Boys and Girls Club of Niagara.
Club obligation applies to all officers, employees, contractors and agents who provide services to or on behalf of the Boys and Girls Club of Niagara in connection with delivery of products, services and information to Club participants.
The Club only collects, uses and discloses Personal Information for purposes that would be considered reasonable in the circumstances and only such information as is required for the purposes of providing products, services or information to Club participants. During the course of various projects and activities, the Boys and Girls Club of Niagara occasionally gathers and uses personal information.

Unless permitted by law, no personal information is collected, without first obtaining the consent of the individual concerned to the collection, use and dissemination of that information.

In the event a participant does not indicate his/her consent, the submission of the information constitutes the consent of an applicant to the use of his or her personal information for these purposes.
