We define “personal identifiable information” as information that may be used to identify an individual. This includes first name, last name, physical address, email address, and any other contact information.

You may visit the CanWaCH website without identifying yourself or providing any personal information about yourself. Contact information for our Member organizations is published in the “Our Members” section of our website and is accessible to the public. If you join as a Member and complete the CanWaCH Membership form and have provided us with contact information about your organization, then you are giving consent to allow us to publish information about your organization including contact information. You may change the information that is published on the CanWaCH website at any time by notifying CanWaCH via email. Furthermore, by joining CanWaCH as a member, you are giving consent to allow us to contact you regarding your membership.
