Privacy Policy

Living Oceans Society respects your right to privacy and is committed to maintaining your confidence and trust. Our privacy policy complies with the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act.

Our website is designed to enable you to take action and help protect Canada's oceans. Because of this, some areas of the site require personal identification in order to be effective and considered legitimate by decision makers. This information is required on correspondence with decision makers to authenticate your letters and to receive a written response.

The personal information you provide is stored in a secure location and is accessible only by designated staff. It will never be sold or traded. We will not disclose this information to others except to send it, along with your message, to the targeted government or corporate officials you have chosen to communicate with through our systems at your request.

When you subscribe to Living Oceans Society, you will receive updates, action alerts, newsletters and notice of our reports and publications. To subscribe, you will need to provide your email address, and then click on a link in a confirmation email in order to confirm your subscription.

To participate in Living Oceans Society contests, you may be required by law to provide us with some personal information to ensure that contestants and voting participants meet residency and eligibility criteria. When you provide your email address to Living Oceans Society you consent to receive email notifications about the contest and occasional updates, unless you unsubscribe.

You may make a request to be removed from our list. These requests are subject to Section 9 of the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act and may take up to 30 days to be fulfilled. You always have the option to unsubscribe and on request, Living Oceans Society will be pleased to erase all record of your personal information from our secure server.

We may change this policy from time to time without warning. Changes will be reflected on this page.
