What is personal information?

“Personal information” is personally identifiable information about you, such as your name, address, e-mail address, phone number, and information that is not otherwise publicly available. Publicly available information, such as business contact information or a public directory listing of your name, address, or phone number, or information that is aggregated and not associated with a specific individual, including demographic information and statistics, is not considered personal information.

What personal information do we collect?

Culture Days will only request personal information from you that is necessary to establish and manage our relationship with you. We collect your personal information when you provide it to us, such as when you subscribe to a specific service like a newsletter, register an account on this website, participate in a contest or promotion, complete a survey, or contact us. We may also receive personal information from our provincial affiliates, business partners and other third parties, provided that we have obtained your consent or that these third parties confirm that they have obtained your consent.

What non-personal information do we collect?

This aggregated data may be shared with Culture Days partners or the media, and in that case these organizations will be required to comply with this policy as applicable. Culture Days sometimes uses third-party analytics tools to collect this information, including Google Analytics and Heap.
