This privacy policy explains how Canada Action Network collects, uses, and protects your personal data when you interact with our website: https://www.canadaactionnetwork.org

What Data We Collect and Why

We collect and use your personal information to support our work and provide services, such as:

Sending newsletters and updates
Sharing reports, press releases, or other campaign content
Responding to inquiries
Running advertising campaigns and measuring their effectiveness

We also use third-party services to help us collect and manage data:

Meta tracking pixels (for Meta/Facebook ad tracking)
Google Tags for Google Analytics 4 (GA4) and Google Ads
Action Network for collecting email addresses and managing campaign engagement

We only collect data that is necessary for these purposes.

Who Has Access to Your Data

Your data is stored securely by Canada Action Network. It may be accessed by authorized staff or trusted service providers—but only under our instruction, and only for the purposes listed above. We do not sell or share your data for any other use.

Data Transfers Outside Canada

If your data is processed outside of Canada—for example, by a third-party email or analytics provider—we ensure those services meet strong privacy standards, similar to Canadian or EU data protection laws.

How Long We Keep Your Data

We retain your personal data only as long as needed to fulfill the original purpose it was collected for. After that, it is securely deleted or anonymized.

How We Protect Your Data

We use technical and organizational safeguards to protect your personal data from unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. That said, no system is completely secure. If there is a data breach, we will notify affected users and relevant authorities as required by law.
