Here, at #MEET4IMPACT, we believe in data transparency. As our website user, you will find all the necessary information below on why and how we collect your data. 

“Data Protection Laws” - refers to the laws that are designed to protect your personal data and privacy in the place where you live. This includes: (1) the “GDPR”, the European Data Protection Law which stands for “General Data Protection Regulation”, with the official name Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council; (2) “PIPEDA” (Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act), which is the Canadian Data Protection Law that applies to our activities in Canada; (3) the Quebec “Act Respecting the Protection of Personal Information in the Private Sector” ; and (4) the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”) which applies to our activities in the United States in certain circumstances. #MEET4IMPACT is committed to adhering to all these applicable Data Protection laws. 

​

“Personal data” – this is information we collect from you or about you and which is defined in the GDPR as “any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person.” It can be as simple as your name or your email, or something more complicated like an online identifier (usually a string of letters and / or numbers) that gets attached to you. Under PIPEDA, the Quebec Private Sector Act and the CCPA, the equivalent concept is “personal information”, which is roughly the same. Any mention of “personal data” in this Policy shall also mean personal information.
