Data Collection

When you register on our website to access the advocate only content, we collect your username, email address and any additional information you add to your profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information, excluding their username, at any time. Website administrators can also see and edit this information.

We Are Here Canada does not send any user data outside of the site. If you require a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email. Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service

Registered user information, comments and its metadata are retained in the We Are Here Canada website database indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

Data can be exported or removed upon user’s’ request. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
