Introduction
As a member of the FCC Fellowship of Christian Camps (FCC), you may be wondering what we do with the information you provide. We believe that your privacy is important—both as an individual and as an organization. FCC is committed to treating your personal information professionally and respectfully.
To safeguard the personal information entrusted to us, and to comply with the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and any other applicable legislation, FCC is committed to the following principles:
1. Accountability
All inquiries, requests, or concerns related to privacy matters should be directed to the FCC Finance & Membership Coordinator.
All FCC directors, officers, employees, and volunteers are required to comply with these principles and this policy. They are granted access to personal information only as needed to perform their roles. Any third parties acting on behalf of FCC are also required to comply with this policy and are given restricted access to personal information solely to fulfill their contracted services.
2. Identifying Purposes
FCC primarily collects business information related to camps, conference centers, businesses, and organizations. In some cases, we collect personal information from individual members or from key contacts at member organizations. This information is used to provide member services such as mailings, email newsletters, website listings, and notices of events or promotions.
3. Consent
FCC strives to ensure that personal information is collected with the knowledge and consent of the individual. Consent may be withdrawn or modified at any time. Camp or conference directors submitting associate information on membership applications must ensure all associates have consented to the sharing of their information with FCC.
4. Limiting Collection
We collect only the personal information necessary for the purposes identified in this policy. Most information is collected directly through membership applications.
5. Limiting Use, Disclosure, and Retention
Personal information will only be used or disclosed for the purposes for which it was collected, unless the individual provides consent or as required by law. Information will be retained only as long as necessary to fulfill these purposes or as required by applicable legislation. FCC will not disclose personal information to third parties without express consent.
6. Accuracy
FCC endeavors to ensure that personal information is accurate, complete, and up-to-date for the purposes for which it is used. Members are encouraged to inform us of any changes to help maintain accurate records.
7. Safeguards
FCC protects personal information using security measures appropriate to the sensitivity of the information. This includes restricted access on a need-to-know basis, password-protected systems, and secured storage such as locked filing cabinets.
8. Openness
FCC is committed to transparency. We make our policies and practices relating to the management of personal information readily available to individuals upon request.
9. Individual Access
Upon request, FCC will inform individuals of the existence, use, and disclosure of their personal information and will provide access to that information. Individuals may request corrections to ensure accuracy and completeness.
10. Challenging Compliance
Individuals may challenge FCC’s compliance with this policy by contacting the designated privacy officer, currently the Finance & Membership Coordinator.
