Personal information is anything that enables us to identify you as an individual, for example, your name and e-mail address.

Do we use 'Cookies'?
CFHU uses cookies to enhance your experience while using our site. Cookies are small pieces of information sent by a web server when you log onto our web site, that keep track of your browsing patterns. Cookies are stored on your computer's hard drive and allow us to recognize you as a user when you next visit our site. Use of cookies makes web-surfing easier by performing certain functions such as saving your passwords. The use of cookies does not give CFHU access to the rest of your computer.
If you want to prevent our cookies being stored on your computer in future, you may do so by referring to your internet browser's instructions. You can do this by clicking on the "Help" menu. Please note however that if you disable our cookies you may not be able to access certain services or facilities on our sites and your use of our sites may be restricted.

Security and how we protect personal information
All information provided to www.cfhu.org is transmitted using SSL (Secure Socket Layer) encryption. SSL is a proven coding system that lets your browser automatically encrypt, or scramble, data before you send it to us. We also protect account information by placing it on a secure portion of our site that is only accessible by certain qualified employees of CFHU. Unfortunately, however, no data transmission over the Internet is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your information, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of such information.
Will we disclose the information we collect to outside parties?
As indicated above, we may pass your information to our service providers, agents and associated organisations, and, if you have consented, to other organisations who may share our objectives. We may also need to disclose your information if required to do so by law.
Your consent
By providing us with your personal data, you consent to the collection and use of any information you give in accordance with the above purposes and this privacy statement.
You also consent to our transferring your information to countries or jurisdictions which do not provide the same level of data protection as Canada, if necessary for the above purposes. If we do make such a transfer, we will, if appropriate, put a contract in place to ensure your information is protected.
Children
If you are under the age of 18, be sure to obtain your parent or guardian's permission before you send any personal information to us, or anyone else. We encourage parents to get involved with their children's online usage and to be aware of the activities in which they are participating.
Can I have access to my information?
You have the right to ask for a copy of the information we hold about you (for which we may charge a small fee) and to have any inaccuracies in your information corrected.
