Who we are
Vivimos Juntxs, Comemos Juntxs ("VJCJ", "we") is a migrant-led non-profit collective in Canada. This policy explains how we collect, use and protect personal information on this website, in line with the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and, for people in Quebec, the Act respecting the protection of personal information in the private sector (Law 25).
Our promise to the migrant community
You never need to share your immigration status with us. We collect as little information as possible, we never sell it, and we do not voluntarily share it with any government or immigration authority.
What we collect
Contact form and activity registration: your name, email, phone number (optional) and message. Donations: handled by our payment provider, which receives your payment details; we receive your name, email and amount. Technical data: our web host may keep standard server logs (IP address, browser) for security.
Why we use it
To answer your messages, register you for our community meals and workshops, process and thank you for donations, and keep the website secure. We will ask for your consent before using your information for any other purpose.
Translation
This website is written in English. The Spanish version is translated automatically with Google Translate and saved on this website. Google only receives the text of our pages, never the information you type in our forms.
Cookies
This site uses only the cookies needed for it to work (for example, when you log in). If we add analytics or embedded content that sets cookies, we will ask for your consent first through a cookie banner, and you can change your choice at any time.
Who we share it with
Only with service providers that help us run the website, email and donations (for example our web host, email provider and payment processor). They may store data outside your province or outside Canada and must protect it. We never sell or rent your information.
How long we keep it
Contact messages are deleted when they are no longer needed, and at the latest after 2 years. Donation records are kept as long as required by law.
Your rights
You can ask to see the personal information we hold about you, correct it, withdraw your consent or ask us to delete it. You can also file a complaint with the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada or, in Quebec, the Commission d’accès à l’information.
Privacy questions
For any question or request about your personal information, write to info@vjcj.org. We will answer within 30 days.
