This website uses Google Analytics to help us understand how visitors use the website and to improve website content, performance, and usability.
Google Analytics may collect information such as pages visited, time spent on the website, device and browser information, approximate location, referral sources, and other usage data.
Google requires website operators using Google Analytics to disclose the use of Analytics and how it collects and processes data.

This website may use cookies and similar technologies for analytics, functionality, embedded content, and website performance.
Cookies are small files placed on your device when you visit a website. They may help the website remember information, measure website traffic, understand user behaviour, or support embedded third-party services.
You can adjust your browser settings to block or delete cookies. Some website features may not function as intended if cookies are disabled.
5. Embedded YouTube Videos
This website may include embedded YouTube videos. YouTube is a third-party service provided by Google.
When you view or interact with an embedded YouTube video, YouTube and/or Google may collect information about your interaction with the video, your device, your browser, and other usage information in accordance with their own terms and privacy policies.

9. Safeguards
YFNSSA uses reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards to help protect information under its control from unauthorized access, collection, use, disclosure, copying, modification, loss, or theft.
Canadian privacy principles recognize that safeguards should be appropriate to the sensitivity of the information being protected.
However, no website, internet transmission, hosting system, or electronic storage system is completely secure.
10. Retention
YFNSSA retains information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, or as required for legal, administrative, technical, reporting, security, or operational purposes.

11. Accessing or Correcting Personal Information
You may contact YFNSSA to request access to personal information we may hold about you or to request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information.
Under Canadian privacy principles, individuals may request access to personal information held by an organization and information about how it has been used or disclosed.
Because this website does not currently collect personal information through forms or accounts, YFNSSA may have limited or no personal information about website visitors beyond technical or analytics-related information.
12. Children and Youth
This website is intended for general audiences and does not knowingly collect personal information from children or youth through website forms or account features.
If this changes in the future, this Privacy Policy should be updated to describe the applicable collection, consent, and protection practices.
