Veterans for Alberta Independence 

Last updated: May 16, 2026

We respect your privacy as much as we respect the service you gave our country. 

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, protect, and share your information when you visit our website (vetsforalbertaindependence.ca or similar) or interact with our group.

We only collect what we need to stay in touch and serve Alberta veterans:

• Personal Information: Name, email address, phone number, and military service details (branch, years served, etc.) when you voluntarily sign up for our newsletter, join our group, register for events, or contact us.
• Donation Information: If you donate, we collect payment details through secure third-party processors (we never store full credit card numbers ourselves).
• Automatically Collected Data: IP address, browser type, pages visited, and general location (e.g., Alberta) through standard web tools. This helps us improve the site.
• Cookies: Small files that remember your preferences so you don’t have to log in every time.

We do not collect sensitive personal data unless you choose to share it.

• Send you updates, event invitations, and important information about Alberta independence and veteran issues.
• Improve our website and understand what content matters most to Alberta vets.
• Organize meetups, Legion events, and advocacy efforts.
• Respond to your questions or requests.
• Comply with legal obligations if required.

We will never sell your information.

We may share information only in these limited cases:

• With trusted service providers (email platforms like Mailchimp, website hosts, or donation processors) who are bound by strict confidentiality.
• If required by law (court order, etc.).
• In the event of a merger or transfer of the group (we would notify you).

We do not share your data with political parties, foreign entities, or anyone outside our direct mission.

Our site uses essential cookies for basic function. You can control cookies through your browser settings. We do not use invasive tracking or advertising cookies.

We use industry-standard security measures (encryption, secure servers, access controls) to protect your information. While no system is 100% foolproof, we treat your data with the same care we showed on operations.

You have full control:

• Access / Correct: Ask to see or update your information.
• Delete / Unsubscribe: Request removal of your data at any time (we’ll honour it quickly).
• Opt Out: Every email has an easy “unsubscribe” link.

To exercise these rights, contact us (details below). We respond within 30 days as required under Alberta’s Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA) and Canada’s PIPEDA.

Our site is not directed at anyone under 18. We do not knowingly collect data from minors.

We may update this policy occasionally. We’ll post the new version here with the updated date. Continued use of the site after changes means you accept the updates.

If you have questions about this Privacy Policy or your data, reach out like a battle buddy:

We’re veterans too — your trust matters. If something doesn’t feel right, tell us. We’ll fix it.
