Privacy Policy

At BrokersOfGood, accessible from https://brokersofgood.com/, one of our main priorities is the privacy of our visitors. This Privacy Policy document contains types of information that is collected and recorded by BrokersOfGood and how we use it.

BrokersOfGood is based in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, and our data practices are governed by the laws of British Columbia and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein.

1. Who We Are

Our website address is: https://brokersofgood.com. We provide a platform dedicated to helping non-profits find aligned corporate partners and build lasting relationships.

2. Information We Collect

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection. An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Media

If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.

Contact Forms & Registration

For users that register on our website, we store the personal information provided in the user profile (such as name and email address). We use this information to provide our services, communicate with you, and improve our platform.

3. Cookies

If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.

If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.

If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.

4. 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 tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

5. How We Share Your Data

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal identification information to others.

• Service Providers: We may share data with trusted third-party service providers (such as hosting partners or spam detection services) to help us operate our website and conduct our business, so long as those parties agree to keep this information confidential.
• Password Resets: If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
• Legal Requirements: We may disclose your information where required to do so by law or subpoena by the courts of British Columbia or Canadian federal authorities.

6. Data Retention

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users that register on our website, we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

7. Your Rights Over Your Data

In accordance with British Columbia’s Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA), you have the right to access the personal information we hold about you and to know how it is being used.

• Access and Export: If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you.
• Correction and Deletion: You can request that we correct or erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

We use Stripe for payment processing. We do not store or collect your payment card details. That information is provided directly to Stripe, whose use of your personal information is governed by their Privacy Policy.

• Information Collected: When you make a purchase, Stripe collects your name, email address, payment method information (such as credit/debit card number), and transaction details.
• Fraud Prevention: Stripe uses data to detect and prevent fraudulent transactions. This may include monitoring your interaction with our site (e.g., mouse movements or IP address) to verify your identity.+1
