We DO NOT rent, sell, or trade personal information. The information collected will be used to improve your user experience, deliver resource materials, provide tax receipts, to contact prize winners and to keep you informed and up to date on the activities of Focus on the Family (Canada) Association, including programs, services, special events, funding needs, opportunities to volunteer or to give and more through periodic contacts.

If at any time you wish to be removed from any of these contacts simply contact us by phone at 1–800–661–9800 or via e–mail at info@fotf.ca and we will gladly accommodate your request.

Focus on the Family Canada does not sell, lease or rent your confidential information. However, we may need to disclose personal information as required by law, such as a law, regulation, court order, subpoena, search warrant, in the course of a legal proceeding or in response to a law enforcement agency request, to enforce our Terms of Service, or site rules; or to protect the safety and security of our visitors and our sites.

The information you provide to us, including any personal information, may be shared with third party service providers with whom we have a contractual agreement that includes strict privacy and confidentiality standards, where such third parties are assisting us with hosting, data storage or processing.

Data collected may be stored on servers outside of Canada. To the extent that any data including personal information is out of the country, it is subject to the laws of the country in which it is held, and may be subject to disclosure to the governments, courts or law enforcement or regulatory agencies of such other country, pursuant to the laws of such country.
