Personal information means information about an identifiable individual, which includes an individual’s name, e-mail address, home address, phone number, and other identifiable information.
Personal information does not include business contact information, which is an individual’s name, position or title, business telephone number, business e-mail address, business fax number and other similar business information.

AFC collects certain personal information when you access the Website, provide information, fill out forms or contact AFC through e-mail.
AFC usually collects personal information directly from you. However, AFC may collect personal information from other sources with your consent or as authorized by law. Generally, AFC will obtain your consent and notify you of the purpose of collecting your personal information before or at the time of collection. However, AFC may not do this when you volunteer your personal information for an obvious purpose (for example, submitting a form to AFC.)
AFC limits the personal information we collect to what we need for the purposes for which it was collected and will use such personal information for such purposes.
If you contact AFC using the “Contact” page on the Website, AFC responds to your comment and retains your name and e-mail address for confirmation purposes only.
AFC uses and discloses personal information only for the purposes for which the information was collected, except as authorized by law. AFC will ask for your consent if AFC wishes to use or disclose your personal information for any new business purpose.
AFC discloses personal information only for purposes that are reasonable and only to the extent that is reasonable for the purposes for which the information was collected and is disclosed. AFC only discloses personal information without consent only if one or more of the purposes set out in section 20 of PIPA are applicable.
On giving reasonable notice to AFC, you may at any time withdraw or vary your consent to AFC’s collection, use or disclosure of your personal information. This can be done by unsubscribing to any notice or information received from AFC or by contacting AFC at info@fundingconsortium.ca.
Subject to sections 23 to 32 of PIPA, you have the right to access and correct any personal information that is in a record that is in RDAR’s custody or control.
