Privacy Policy

Your privacy is important to the Mid-Career Workers with Disabilities Project, the owners of (‘MCWD,’ “we, ‘our’). So, we’ve developed a Privacy Policy that covers how we collect, use, disclose, transfer, and store your information. Please take a moment to familiarize yourself with our privacy practices. If you have any questions, please let us know.

• Collection and Use of Personal Information
  What personal information we collect
  Personal information is data that can be used to identify or contact a single person.
  
•  
• You may be asked to provide your personal information anytime you contact us through the Workably website. MCWD is the sole owner of the information we collect through the website. We use personal information consistent with this Privacy Policy. We will not sell, share, or rent this information to individuals, organizations, or companies (Third Parties) not directly involved with us and the services we provide on our website.
  
•  
• You are not required to provide the personal information that we request, but if you choose not to do so, in many cases, we will not be able to provide you with our services or respond to any queries you may have.
  
•  

Here are some examples of the types of personal information we may collect:

When you register for an account on the Workably website or forum, we collect an email address and ask you to create a username and password stored in our database. We will use this information to provide you with an account and access to participate in certain website features. As an account holder, you can manage your account settings, including deleting your account and all personal information associated with your account.

When you apply to become a peer support volunteer or peer support program user in the Peer Support Program, we collect a variety of information, including but not limited to your name, demographic data, phone number and email address, and preferred attributes of potential matches. We will use this information to determine your eligibility to participate in the Program and deliver this service.

When you apply to our Peer Support program to become a peer support volunteer, we collect referee information– referee names, relationships with you, email addresses, and phone numbers. We will use this information to determine your eligibility to participate in the Program.

• How we use your personal information
  We may use the personal information we collect to:

verify, identify or assist with the identification of users, and determine appropriate services;
provide you with access to certain areas of the website and website features such as forums;
customize your experience on the website;
help us create, develop, operate, deliver, and improve our products, services, content, and advertising ( e.g., provide the Peer Support Program, develop new resources and make them available on the Workably website);
respond to your queries and requests, and send you information (e.g., notifications, information you’ve requested).

• Collection and use of non-personal information
  Non-personal information is data in a form that does not, on its own, permit direct association with any specific individual. MCWD may collect, use, transfer, and disclose non-personal information. We do not combine non-personal information and personal information.
• 
  MCWD considers website statisticslog files that measure the behaviour of visitors and track details of our website (e.g., the number of unique visitors to our website, the number of pages viewed) as non-personal information. We may collect website statistics and combine this data to help us improve our website, provide users with more valuable resources and services, and understand which parts of our website, services, and products are most interesting. We may also publish this aggregated data on our website or elsewhere. Aggregated data is considered non-personal information for this Privacy Policy. At no time is your Personally Identifiable Information included in such data aggregations.
• 
  Cookies and other technologies
  As with most Internet sites, MCWD may use cookies to help us understand your behaviour and tell us how our website is used. Cookies are files with a small amount of data that may include an anonymous unique identifier. Cookies are sent to your browser from a website and stored on your computer's hard drive. We consider the information collected through cookies as non-personal information. Usage of cookies is not linked to any personally identifiable information while you are on the Workably website. You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, if you do not accept cookies, you may be unable to use some portions of the website.
• 
  Google Analytics
  MCWD uses Google Analytics to collect website statistics about the use of the Workably website. Google Analytics is a free web analytic tool that generates detailed statistics about activities on a website. Google Analytics uses cookies on each visitor’s computer that store anonymous information. The cookies combine visitor data for our website into our account with Google Analytics. Google Analytics is subject to the privacy policy of Google, Inc., which you can find on Google's website. https://policies.google.com/privacy
• 
  Security
  The security of your personal Information is important to us. MCWD strives to use commercially acceptable means and precautions to protect your information from loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. We implement a variety of security measures, such as SSL encryption. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your information. Although such unauthorized access is unlikely, MCWD wants to inform you of this risk and advise you that we are not liable for any damages caused by such unauthorized access.
• 
  Links to other sites
  The Workably website contains links to other websites, including sites that have content developed by MCWD or that frame the content on the other sites within the Workably name and logo (e.g., our discussion forums). These websites are not under MCWD’s direct control, and we have no responsibility for their privacy practices or content.
• 
  You access such linked websites at your own risk. You should check the privacy policies of those individual websites to see how the operators of those Third-Party sites will utilize any personal information you provide them when you are on their website.
• 
  Email Options
  As a user of the Workably website, you may opt-in to receive extra communications (e.g., notification of replies to forum postings, Wokably.ca newsletter). You can manage your subscriptions, including using the settings on the website.
• 
  All registered users, however, agree to receive service emails and may not opt out of receiving these emails. Service emails contain essential information about changes to terms, policies, and our services. Service emails include emails from MCWD responding to user requests, issues and concerns and emails informing users of the opportunity to participate in the evaluation of our website and services.
  Therefore, users who request not to receive emails from MCWD will have their user profiles removed.
• 
  Changes to this Privacy Policy
  MCWD reserves the right, at our sole discretion, to modify or replace this Privacy Policy at any time. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes. Changes to this Privacy Policy are effective when posted on the Workably website.
