Privacy Policy

Community Forests International is committed to protecting the privacy of personal information collected through its website. We are guided by trust in the work that we do and we recognize that maintaining trust with our community requires that we be transparent and accountable in how we collect and use the information that you share with us.

Personal contact information will be used for its just, intended purpose. You will only receive regular news and update emails from Community Forests International if you provide your contact information via our sign-up form or opt-in when completing a donation or registration forms. Once subscribed, you may opt-out of receiving our news emails at any time.

As a registered Canadian charity, we cannot do our work without the financial support of our generous donors. If you subscribe to our news emails or make a donation to Community Forests International, we will contact you regarding future fundraising campaigns. You may opt out of these communications at any time by unsubscribing or emailing us at info@forestsinternational.org.

We may use information we collect to publish general statistics about our website and social media users and newsletter audience, but all information will be anonymous. In addition, Community Forests International will not give, sell, share or rent personal information that we’ve collected to any third party.

We collect basic usage statistics from our webpages and social media sites through Google Analytics in order to better understand the interests of our community. Usage statistics will not be given, sold, rented or shared with any third party.

Our donor payment processing vendor (Keela) uses security measures to protect your information both during the transaction and after it is complete.
