Privacy Policy & Data Security

1. Information We Collect

Depending on how you interact with us, we may collect:

• Contact details you provide when applying to volunteer, such as your full name, email address, phone number, date of birth, address, and emergency contact information.
• Donation details, including your name, donation amount, donation type, and any reference or note you provide.
• Account information if you sign up for a volunteer account, including your login email and encrypted password.
• A profile photo, if you choose to upload one as part of your volunteer application.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Process and evaluate volunteer applications, including scheduling interviews and tracking approval status.
• Coordinate volunteer activities, attendance, and recognition (such as badges and certificates).
• Record and acknowledge donations, and prepare transparency reports for the public.
• Communicate with you about programs, events, or your account.
• Improve our programs and better serve the communities of Aurora Province.

3. How We Protect Your Information

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. Access to volunteer and donor records is limited to authorized SIKAT Aurora administrators who need it to carry out their responsibilities.

4. Sharing of Information

We do not sell or rent your personal information. We may share limited information with program partners or government agencies only where necessary to carry out a program you've volunteered for, or where required by law.

5. Your Rights

Under the Data Privacy Act of 2012, you have the right to be informed, to access your personal data, to correct inaccurate data, to object to processing, and to request the deletion of your data, subject to legal and legitimate business requirements. To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details below.

6. Children's Privacy

Some of our programs serve youth participants. Where we collect information from minors (such as through a guardian-supervised program), we do so with appropriate parental or guardian consent and take extra care in handling that information.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal reasons. We will post any changes on this page with an updated revision date.
