The Dents-de-lion Foundation places a high priority on the confidentiality and protection of your personal information. This document explains how we collect and may use your information.

WHAT IS PERSONAL INFORMATION?
“Personal information” includes any information, recorded in any form, that relates to an identified individual. It also includes pieces of available information which, put together, can infer or determine an individual’s identity.
This data is distinct from business contact information (i.e., name, title, business address), which is considered public.

• Your IP address and the duration of your visit to our site,
• Your device type and browser.

We have access to this information only in an anonymous form. Our providers have their own privacy practices and policies. Please review WordPress’s privacy policy.

DATA RETENTION
Your personal information is stored in Canada, or in the United States when it is used by service providers located in the United States (e.g., Google, LinkedIn).
