Respecting the privacy and confidentiality of your personal information is important to Hosting BC. This Privacy Policy explains how Hosting BC collects, uses, and discloses the personal information that you may provide while using the Hostingbc.ca website (the "Website").
If you browse the Website, you do so anonymously. We do not collect personally identifying information unless you voluntarily provide it to us. However, like many other websites, the Website may automatically collect certain non-personally identifying information regarding your use of the Website, such as the Internet Protocol (IP) address of your computer, the IP address of your Internet Service Provider, the date and time you access the Website, the Internet address of the website from which you linked directly to the Website, the operating system you are using, the sections of the Website you visit, the Website pages read and images viewed, and the content you download from the Website.
This information is not linked to you as an individual user. Rather, it is recorded as general statistical information, which is used by us in order to monitor use of the Website, to improve the Website and generally enable us to provide you with the best possible web experience. We may also archive this information for future use.
During your use of the Website, you may be asked to voluntarily provide certain personal information such as your name, email address, postal address or telephone number. It is always your choice whether or not to provide such personal information. If you choose to provide personal information, it will be stored and processed at a secure site administered by 2010 Legacies Now.
We will not sell, trade, lend or otherwise voluntarily disclose to any third parties any personally identifying information that you have provided to us for any purpose not provided for under this Privacy Policy. In certain circumstances we may disclose your personal information as required or permitted by applicable law. In any other circumstances we will seek your consent prior to disclosure.
We may use your personal information to contact and correspond with you, respond to your inquiries, process instructions or to facilitate and enhance your use of the Website. We may send to you, from time to time, e-mail or other communications containing information about us, our activities and other matters that we believe will be of interest to you.
The primary purpose of collecting personal information is to allow Hostingbc.ca to distribute information about venues and sport hosting experience with subscribers and members of the public.
To help protect the confidentiality of your personal information, we employ security safeguards appropriate to the sensitivity of the information. Nevertheless, due to the nature of the Internet and Internet technologies, security and privacy risks cannot be entirely eliminated.
At any time you may ask us to stop sending you such unsolicited e-mail and other information by contacting us at info@hostingbc.ca.
You may request access to your personal information and information about our collection, use and disclosure of that information by contacting the coordinator or chair as noted on the contact page.
We attempt to keep our records as accurate and complete as possible. You can help us maintain the accuracy of your information by notifying us of any changes to your personal information.
Unless you request its removal, your personal information will be retained for a period of up to three years and then will be rendered anonymous for statistical purposes.

The Website contains links to other websites. When you click on one of those links you are contacting another website or Internet resource. We have no responsibility or liability for or control over those other websites or Internet resources or their collection, use and disclosure of your personal information.
