Ofor ("we", "us", or "our") respects your privacy. This policy explains what personal information we collect through our website at ofor.info, why we collect it, how we use and protect it, and the choices you have. We keep the amount of information we collect to the minimum needed to serve you.
Information we collect
We collect personal information only when you choose to give it to us, and only for a clear purpose. This includes:
- Contact enquiries. When you use our contact form, we collect your name, email address, optional phone number, and the content of your message so that we can respond.
- Newsletter subscriptions. When you subscribe, we collect your email address in order to send our monthly newsletter.
- Event registrations. If you register for a workshop or event, we collect the details needed to confirm and manage your place.
- Technical information. Like most websites, our servers may automatically record basic technical details such as browser type and pages visited, used only in aggregate to maintain and improve the site.
How we use your information
We use the information you provide to respond to enquiries, deliver services you have requested, send our newsletter where you have subscribed, and improve our educational resources and website. We do not use your information to make automated decisions about you.
Legal basis and consent
We process your information on the basis of your consent, which you give when you submit a form, and on the basis of our legitimate interest in operating an educational organisation. You may withdraw consent at any time, for example by unsubscribing from the newsletter or contacting us.
Sharing your information
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We share it only with service providers who help us operate (such as email delivery services), and only to the extent necessary, under agreements that require them to protect it. We may disclose information if required by Canadian law.
Data retention
We keep personal information only as long as needed for the purpose it was collected, or as required by law. Enquiry records are typically retained for up to two years, and newsletter details until you unsubscribe.
Your rights
Under Canadian privacy law, including the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA), you have the right to access the personal information we hold about you, to ask us to correct it, and to request its deletion. To exercise these rights, contact us using the details below.
Security
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your information against loss, misuse, and unauthorised access. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, but we work to safeguard your data appropriately.
Children's privacy
Our website is intended for a general audience. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children without the consent of a parent or guardian. If you believe a child has provided us information, please contact us and we will remove it.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "last updated" date above. Significant changes will be noted clearly on this page.
