The Asthma Society of Canada manages this Web site in strict accordance with the Canadian Medical Association's mandatory Code of Ethics and Standards of Practice.
We take privacy issues seriously. We will provide specific notice before collecting any of your personal information (details that can identify you as an individual, such as your name or address). We will explain what information is being collected and how it will be used. You have the right to decline to have this information collected or transferred for marketing purposes.
We collect no personal information about you unless you choose to provide that information to us. We do not use techniques that collect personal information about you without your knowledge.
We will not transfer your personal information to a third party for marketing purposes unless we have your consent. Any personally identifiable data about our customers or Web site visitors is stored securely.
Children
In light of the importance of protecting children's privacy, we do not collect, process or use on our website any information relating to an individual whom we know to be under 18 years old without the prior, verifiable consent of his or her legal representative. Such legal representative has the right, upon request, to view the information provided by the child and/or to require that it be deleted.
The Asthma Society does not intend this site for child audiences, and has no intention of collecting personally-identifiable information (such as name, address, telephone number) from children under 18 years old. If you discover that your child has provided us with personally identifiable information, we ask that a parent or guardian of the child contact us at info@asthma.ca to have this information deleted from our records.
How we use non-personal information
Our site's operating system may automatically record some general information about your visit. We use this information for statistical analysis, to help us make our site more useful to visitors. We may disclose this non-personal information to third parties such as sponsors, clients or advertisers and/or use it for auditing purposes. This tracking system does not record personal information about individuals or link this information to any personal data collected.
From time to time we may use e-mail as a way to keep in touch with our existing customers and other interested individuals. However, we do not send 'spam' (unsolicited marketing e-mail).
Please note that this policy discloses the privacy practices for Asthma.ca and Asthma-Kids.ca specifically. However, our site contains links to other sites. Once you link to another site, you are subject to the privacy and security policies of that site. We encourage you to read the privacy policies of all Web sites you visit, especially if you share any personal information.
If you have any questions, wish to know what information we have in our files about you or would like to request a change to the information in your file, please contact us at info@asthma.ca or or 1-866-787-4050.

Any changes to this Privacy Statement will be communicated promptly on this page. Please contact the Web site administrator with any problems, questions or suggestions that you may have. The constant development of the Internet requires occasional adjustments to our privacy statement. We retain the right to make changes when necessary.
