We send out email to our membership using a WordPress tool called MailPoet; the data used by MailPoet comes from the information gathered elsewhere on our site via the membership information and registration for events. We only send out emails pertaining to CAMAP business or events or opportunities to participate in MAiD research projects that have been vetted by CAMAP.

Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracing your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

How We Protect Your Information
We limit the number of people who have access to your personal information to those having a “need to know,” and ensure these people are obliged to respect your confidentiality.
We safeguard access to your digital information using strong passwords and/or encryption technology. We choose server infrastructure from providers that maintain secure, locked premises.
Upon request, we will attempt to delete all information we hold about you. In some cases, copies of deleted information may continue to exist on backup media, but will not be used unless permitted by law.
Using the Internet to collect and process personal data may involve the transmission of data internationally, and across networks not owned or operated by us. Therefore, by accessing our information and services, and/or electronically communicating with us, you acknowledge that we are not responsible for any personal information which is lost, altered, intercepted or stored by a third party without authorization.
