Privacy Policy

Camper Privacy

Camp Hurontario collects personal information about its campers. We do so to enable us to communicate with our campers and to care for them. Information is collected through the completion of registration, health and other forms, such as cabin mate requests, activity interests and parent communications.

All of the information collected is kept in our locked offices and in our secure electronic database. It is used for our planning and organizational purposes and for communications with staff members in order that campers’ needs may be met. Staff members are contractually required to adhere to our privacy policy.

Camper contact information is used for distributing our newsletters, providing information on camper reunions and camper parties and for other future communications with our campers.

Consistent with our program emphasis on developing people skills and lasting friendships, we do distribute camper contact information to other campers and staff, unless a camper, parent or guardian chooses to direct us not to do so. Camper information is not otherwise disclosed to employees or to any third party without the consent of the camper’s parent or guardian.

Our camper information is never sold or otherwise distributed to third parties. Each camper, parent or guardian is entitled to the details of such camper’s information and, on written request, to require us to modify any such information.

Camper information may be retained by us for at least two years after a camper no longer registers or after a camper becomes, and continues on as, a staff member, or for such longer period as required to comply with any applicable legislation.

Website Privacy

Your privacy is very important to us. At Camp Hurontario, we have a few fundamental principles that we follow:

  • We don’t ask you for personal information unless we truly need it.
  • We don’t share your personal information with anyone except to comply with the law, develop our services, or protect our rights.
  • We don’t store personal information on our servers unless required for the on-going operation of our site.

What information do we collect?

Like most website operators, Camp Hurontario collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. Camp Hurontario’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Camp Hurontario’s visitors use its website.

Camp Hurontario also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users sending inquiries via our contact forms. Camp Hurontario only discloses logged in user and contact form IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below.

Gathering of personally identifying information

Certain visitors to Camp Hurontario’s website choose to interact with Camp Hurontario in ways that require Camp Hurontario to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that Camp Hurontario gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who send us an inquiry via our Contact Form to provide a name and email address. For those who wish to receive Alumni updates via email, we collect their emails, names and years at Hurontario. In each case, Camp Hurontario collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with Camp Hurontario. Camp Hurontario does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.
