Privacy Policy
Last updated: September 2026
The Yukon Invasive Species Council (YISC) respects your privacy and is committed to handling personal information responsibly.
Information we collect
We may collect personal information when you:
-
become a YISC member;
-
subscribe to emails or newsletters;
-
make a donation;
-
register for or participate in an event, program, survey, or volunteer activity;
-
contact us or submit a form through our website; or
-
otherwise provide information directly to YISC.
Depending on the activity, this may include your name, contact information, organization, communication preferences, donation information, or other information you choose to provide.
Our website and service providers may also use cookies or similar technologies for basic website operation, security, performance, and analytics.
How we use your information
We use personal information only for reasonable YISC purposes, including to:
-
administer memberships and donations;
-
communicate with members, supporters, volunteers, and partners;
-
send newsletters and information you have requested;
-
organize programs, events, surveys, and volunteer activities;
-
respond to questions and inquiries;
-
maintain organizational and financial records; and
-
meet legal, funding, or regulatory requirements.
We aim to collect only the information reasonably necessary for these purposes.
How we protect and share information
YISC does not sell personal information or donor lists.
Access to personal information is limited to people who reasonably need it for YISC activities. We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards to protect information from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or disclosure.
We may use trusted service providers to operate our website, process donations, manage communications, store information, or provide other services on our behalf. Information may also be disclosed when you authorize us to do so or when required or permitted by law.
Donors may request that their identity not be publicly disclosed. YISC will honour those requests wherever reasonably possible while still maintaining any records required for legal, financial, or administrative purposes.
How long we keep information
We retain personal information only as long as reasonably required for the purpose for which it was collected, or to meet legal, financial, funding, governance, or organizational requirements.
Your choices
You may unsubscribe from general newsletters or promotional emails at any time.
If you are a YISC member, unsubscribing from general communications does not end your membership. We may still need to send notices relating to meetings, governance, or other membership matters.
You may also contact us to:
-
ask what personal information we hold about you;
-
request a correction;
-
withdraw consent where applicable; or
-
raise a question or concern about how your information has been handled.
