Jumpstart’s commitment to ensuring the safety and security of all personal information is governed by the following privacy principles:
1. Accountability
Jumpstart is responsible for all personal information under its control including any personal information that is transferred to third parties for processing, storage or other purposes.

Jumpstart may collect, use and disclose personal information in order to facilitate the operation of Jumpstart’s programs and initiatives, including but not limited to, processing program applications, donation and funding requests, issuing tax receipts, complying with legal requirements, making available this Web Site and other content, communicating with or surveying our donors and program participants, analyzing or assessing our programs and services, and to achieve other purposes as may, from time to time, be permitted by law and necessary to fulfill Jumpstart’s mandate.
3. Consent
Jumpstart will obtain consent to collect, use or disclose personal information either by directly requesting it, or consent may be implied by conduct in providing the information to Jumpstart. The method of obtaining consent will be appropriate to the type of personal information being collected, used or disclosed:
- Express consent (either oral or written) will be obtained for sensitive personal information, such as financial information.
- Implied consent may be taken for less sensitive information, where one or more of the following apply:
- A relationship already exists;

Jumpstart retains personal information only as long as it is required for the identified purposes or as required by applicable federal and provincial laws.
Jumpstart may use service providers located outside of Canada, and, if applicable, your personal information may be processed and stored in other countries and therefore may be subject to disclosure under the laws of those countries.
