Privacy Policy
The Israel Magen Fund of Canada (“IMFoC”, “we”, “us”, “our”) is committed to protecting the privacy of our donors, supporters, volunteers, and website visitors. We value your trust and are committed to transparency in how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your personal information. This Policy outlines our practices in accordance with Canadian privacy laws, including PIPEDA and Canada’s Anti-Spam Legislation.
Information We Collect
We collect personal information that you provide directly to us, such as your name, mailing address, email address, and phone number. When you donate, we also collect donation details and tax receipt information. Payment information is processed securely by third-party payment processors, and we do not store your credit card numbers.
If you subscribe to our emails or text messages, we collect the contact information needed to send them. We do not share, sell, trade, or rent email addresses, mobile phone numbers, or any other opt-in communication data with third parties for marketing purposes.
When you use our website, we may collect technical information, including your IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited, and other usage data. This is done through cookies and analytics tools to help us understand how visitors use our site and to improve our online services. Cookies can be managed through your browser settings.
You may also provide personal information when registering for programs or events, responding to surveys, communicating with us, or requesting support.
Please review our Terms and Conditions for further information on our use of cookies.
How We Use Your Information
We use your personal information to process donations, issue tax receipts, communicate with you about our work, send updates, manage volunteer participation, and respond to your inquiries. We also use information to improve our website, support operational needs, and comply with legal or regulatory requirements.
We send electronic communications only when permitted under Canadian anti-spam laws and only with your consent. You may withdraw your consent to receive emails or text messages at any time.
When Information May Be Shared
We do not sell, trade, or rent personal information. We may share your information only with trusted service providers who assist us in operating our website, processing donations, managing communications, or supporting our activities. These providers are required to protect your information and use it only for the purposes we specify.
We may disclose information if required by law, such as through a court order or regulatory request, or if you provide explicit consent for a specific purpose.
Some service providers may store or process personal information outside of Canada, and your information may be subject to the laws of those jurisdictions. We ensure that all service providers handling information on our behalf meet appropriate privacy and security standards.
Data Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or misuse. These measures include secure data transmission, restricted access to personal information, confidentiality obligations for staff and volunteers, and the use of secure, reputable third-party service providers. Although we take steps to protect your data, no system can guarantee absolute security.
Data Retention
We retain personal information only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected or to meet legal and regulatory requirements, including those of the Canada Revenue Agency.
Your Rights
You have the right to access the personal information we hold about you, request corrections to inaccurate information, withdraw consent to communications, or request deletion of certain information, subject to legal requirements. We will respond to these requests within a reasonable timeframe.
International Transfers
Some of the tools and services we use may store or process your personal information outside of Canada. When this occurs, your information may be accessible to foreign authorities under the laws of those jurisdictions. We ensure that service providers meet appropriate privacy and security standards before engaging them.

This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time. The most recent version will always be available on our website, and the effective date will be updated accordingly.
