From time to time we may release some non-personally-identifiable information in an aggregate form, for example, by publishing a report on trends in the usage of the site.
FIDA Canada also collects some potentially personally-identifiable data such as Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for users who log in as members and for users who leave comments on blogs or sites, or who enter contests or promotions. FIDA Canada only discloses information regarding user logins and IP addresses according to the same circumstances under which we would use or disclose personally-identifiable information as detailed below, although blog comment IP addresses, e-mail addresses, and user sharing characteristics are visible and disclosed to administrators of the related blogs and sites.
Some visitors to FIDA Canada sites choose to interact with us and conduct transactions which require us to gather personally-identifiable data about them. The type and amount of information that we collect depends on the nature of the interaction. So, for example, we ask members who sign up for our sites, or visitors who sign up for an event or contest to provide a username, e-mail address, and other basic information. Those who engage in financial transactions through our sites, for example, by purchasing products or services, are asked to provide more information, such as the financial and personal data necessary to process such transactions. In any case, FIDA Canada gathers only the information which is necessary and appropriate to fulfill the visitor’s interaction with us. We do not disclose personally-identifiable information except as described in this Privacy Policy. And, visitors may refuse to supply their personally-identifiable data, although doing so may prevent them from enjoying the full capability of the sites.
