Privacy Policy
We collect only what we need to serve you and our mission — and we treat it with care.
This policy explains how Yogic Health & Food Bank Canada ("we", "us") handles the personal information you share with us through this website. By using the site, contacting us, volunteering, subscribing, or donating, you agree to the practices described here.
Information we collect
- When you contact us: your name, email address, and the content of your message.
- When you volunteer: your name, email, and optionally your phone number, city, area of interest, availability, and a note.
- When you subscribe: your email address.
- When you donate: your name and email (if you choose to provide them), the amount, frequency, and designation of your gift. Payment card details are entered directly with our payment processors — we never see or store your full card number.
- Automatically: a single essential session cookie that keeps the site secure (for example, protecting forms against forgery). We do not use advertising or tracking cookies.
How we use your information
- To respond to your messages and requests.
- To coordinate volunteering and keep you informed about opportunities.
- To process your donation and send you a receipt and confirmation.
- To send occasional updates if you have subscribed (you can unsubscribe at any time).
- To understand and improve our programs and this website.
Payment processing
Donations are handled securely by Stripe and PayPal. When you give, your payment details are transmitted directly to these processors under their own privacy and security terms. We receive only a confirmation and a reference for your gift — not your card or bank details.
How we share information
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We share it only with trusted service providers who help us operate — our payment processors (Stripe, PayPal) and our email delivery — and only as needed to provide the service you requested, or where required by law.
Data retention & security
We keep your information only as long as necessary for the purposes above or as required by law, and we take reasonable measures to protect it against loss, misuse, and unauthorized access. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, but we work to safeguard your data.
Your choices & rights
You may ask us to access, correct, or delete the personal information we hold about you, or to stop contacting you. To make a request, email us at info@yogichealthandfoodbankcanada.org. Every newsletter also includes an unsubscribe option.
Children
This website is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us information, please contact us and we will remove it.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. The "last updated" date above reflects the most recent version. Significant changes will be reflected on this page.
