Principles 

We comply with the 10 fair information principles set out in Canada’s Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA): 

  1. Accountability. We are responsible for personal information in our possession or custody, including information that has been transferred to a third party for processing.
  2. Identifying Purposes. We specify the legitimate purposes for which we collect your personal information at or before the time of collection.
  3. Consent. Your knowledge and consent are required for the collection, use, or disclosure of personal information, except where inappropriate. You may at any time withdraw your consent and notify us that we may no longer collect, maintain or disclose your personal information.
  4. Limiting Collection. Our collection of your personal information is limited to that which is necessary for the purposes identified by BOGA. We collect personal information by fair and lawful means only.
  5. Limiting Use, Disclosure and Retention. We do not use or disclose your personal information for purposes other than those for which it was collected, except with your consent or as required by law. We retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill those purposes.
  6. Accuracy. Your personal information will be as accurate, complete and up-to-date as is necessary for the purposes for which it is to be used, taking into account your interests.
  7. Safeguards. We protect personal information by security safeguards appropriate to the sensitivity of the information.
  8. Openness. We are open about our policies and practices relating to the management of personal information and can make them readily available to you upon request.

  10. Challenging Compliance. We investigate and address any complaint or inquiry you may make concerning BOGA’s compliance with the above principles. 

Website 

This privacy policy covers all pages on our website. It does not apply to pages hosted by other organizations, including those that might be sponsored or hosted by BOGA. Those websites may have independent privacy policies. 

Our website may be used without entering any personal information. 

Certain services and features listed below, however, do potentially use personally identifiable information either at your direct request, such as when you join a mailing list, or to provide a technical feature of the website. 

Cookies & Tracking 

We use Plausible.io for web analytics, an open-source tool that does not use cookies and does not generate any persistent identifiers. 

Plausible.io generates a random string of letters and numbers that is used to calculate unique visitors on a website and resets this string once per day. All the data is isolated to a single day only. There is no way to know whether a person comes back to a site on another day. There is no way to get any kind of personal data from Plausible Analytics, and it does not track individual people. All the data is in aggregate only. 

Plausible.io minimises any data collection in general and whatever it does track is kept fully secured, encrypted and hosted on a server in the European Union to ensure it is being covered by the strict laws on data privacy. 

See Plausible.io’s data policy for the full list of data it does collect to display your web stats and which metrics it uses the data for. 

Social Networking 

We maintain a profile on several social networking platforms. Our website contains links to these networks. These third-party companies process your personal information, and maintain their own privacy policies, which are available for your review here:
