Insurgents.ca (“Insurgents,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is committed to protecting the privacy, security, and dignity of all individuals who visit our website, participate in our programs, or engage with our platforms. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect personal information in accordance with Canadian privacy laws, including the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA), and applicable provincial legislation.

Our guiding principle is simple: collect the minimum information required, use it responsibly, protect it rigorously, and never monetize it.

1. Information We Collect

We collect only the information necessary to operate our educational programs, membership services, and communications responsibly.

Information You May Provide Voluntarily

This may include:

• Name or preferred identifier

• Email address

• Province or region (non-precise location only)

• Membership or donation-related information

• Communications sent to us (e.g., inquiries or feedback)

Participation in many of our educational resources is available without providing personal information.

Automatically Collected Information

When you visit our website, we may collect limited technical information such as:

• Browser type and device information

• General location data (country or province level only)

• Pages visited and time spent on the site

This information is collected using privacy-respecting analytics tools and is used only to improve site performance and accessibility.

2. How We Use Information

We use personal information strictly for purposes aligned with our mission, including:

• Delivering educational content and program access

• Communicating updates related to our work or your participation

• Processing donations or memberships

• Ensuring platform security and operational integrity

• Meeting legal, regulatory, or governance obligations

We do not use personal information for behavioral profiling, targeted political messaging, or commercial advertising.

3. What We Do Not Do

To be explicit:

• We do not sell, rent, trade, or monetize personal data

• We do not share personal information with advertisers or data brokers

• We do not engage in surveillance of civilians

• We do not use personal data for political campaigning or persuasion

• We do not collect precise location data or biometric identifiers

Ever.

4. Data Minimization and Anonymization

Where possible, we:

• Limit data collection to anonymized or aggregated formats

• Separate identifying information from participation data

• Use pseudonyms or internal identifiers where appropriate

• Retain personal information only as long as necessary

Our systems are designed with privacy by default principles.

5. Third-Party Services

We may use trusted third-party service providers to support:

• Website hosting

• Learning platforms (e.g., course delivery)

• Payment processing for donations or memberships

• Secure communications

These providers are required to comply with applicable privacy laws and are granted access only to the information necessary to perform their services.

We do not permit third parties to use your information for their own purposes.

6. Data Security

We take reasonable and appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect personal information from:

• Unauthorized access

• Disclosure

• Loss

• Misuse or alteration

Security measures include encrypted communications, access controls, and regular system reviews.

While no system can guarantee absolute security, we treat data protection as a core responsibility, not an afterthought.

7. Your Rights

You have the right to:

• Request access to the personal information we hold about you

• Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information

• Request deletion of your personal information, subject to legal obligations

• Withdraw consent where applicable

Requests can be made by contacting us using the information below.

8. Youth and Minors

Our general educational content may be accessed by minors. However, we do not knowingly collect personal information from individuals under the age of 18 without appropriate consent. Youth-specific programs are designed to minimize data collection and prioritize privacy.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect legal requirements or changes in our operations. Any updates will be posted on this page with a revised effective date.

We encourage you to review this policy regularly.
