Type of Information Collected & Uses

OVUM recognizes the importance of protecting your personal information. We collect personal information that you voluntarily provide to us online. Personal information refers to any information about an identifiable individual, such as their email address, mailing address, or credit card details. If you make a donation, we will collect personal information about you in order to process your donation and issue a tax receipt. If you order a product, personal information will be collected to ensure that your order is processed and the product is delivered. If you submit an online inquiry, personal information will be collected so that we can respond to you.

With your consent, we will also use the personal information we have collected online about you to inform you about new fundraising campaigns or major funding initiatives of OVUM, or to send you OVUM’s communications about its advocacy and awareness efforts. We may also send you our newsletter, service announcements related to our website, and invitations to participate in surveys and contests. If you prefer not to receive this information, we will respect your decision.

Disclosure of personal information

OVUM may entrust third parties with the provision of various services such as mailing its brochures, processing your donations, fulfilling your orders, providing technical services related to the website, etc. These third-party providers have access to personal information if they need it to carry out their work. However, they may only use personal information to perform their tasks and may not use it for any other purpose. In cases where personal information is disclosed to third-party providers, OVUM will require them to provide reasonable assurances that they will protect your personal information in accordance with its privacy practices.

OVUM may also share your name and contact information with organizations that have a similar mission to its own, after giving you the opportunity to exercise your right to refuse.

We recommend that parents regularly monitor their children’s online activities.
