Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 27, 2026

This policy explains how personal information is handled when you visit the Canadian Centre for Rural Creativity (CCRC) website, contact us, subscribe to updates or use services linked from this site.

Information you choose to share

When you contact CCRC by email or phone, you may provide your name, contact details and information in your message. We use this information to respond to your enquiry and communicate with you about the matter you raised. Please avoid sending sensitive information that is not needed for your enquiry.

Newsletters

Our newsletter sign-up link takes you to Mailchimp. Information you submit there is used to send the updates you request and manage your subscription. You can unsubscribe using the link in a newsletter. Mailchimp also processes information under its own privacy policy.

Donations

Donations through the embedded form are processed by CanadaHelps. Information you enter, including contact, payment and donation details, is handled by CanadaHelps under its privacy policy. CanadaHelps may share donor and gift information with CCRC according to your choices and its service terms, so we can acknowledge and administer your support.

Website data, cookies and external content

Website hosting systems may record technical information such as your IP address, browser, requested pages and the time of a visit to deliver the site and help diagnose technical or security issues. WordPress uses cookies for features such as signing in, where applicable.

This site loads Google Fonts and includes content or services from providers such as YouTube and CanadaHelps. When that content loads or you interact with it, the provider may receive your IP address and browser information and may use cookies or similar technologies. Links to newsletters, podcasts and social media take you to services with their own privacy practices. You can manage cookies in your browser; restricting them may affect embedded features.

Service providers and information handling

External providers process information under their own terms and may process or store it outside Canada. Review their policies before submitting information: Mailchimp / Intuit, CanadaHelps and Google / YouTube.

Information shared with CCRC is used in connection with your enquiry, subscription or support. Where records must be kept for administrative or legal purposes, that may affect whether they can be deleted immediately. Contact us for details about a particular record or service.

Your choices and privacy questions

You may contact us to ask about personal information you have shared with CCRC, request access or correction, request deletion, or discuss withdrawing consent for future communications. Some requests may require verification of your identity, and legal recordkeeping requirements may apply. For information held directly by an external service, you can also contact that provider.

For privacy questions or requests, please contact CCRC.
