Privacy policy.

Effective date: August 25, 2026

Who we are

Engage and Change is a registered Canadian charity (charitable registration #80541 8647 RR0001) based at 890 Caledonia Road, Toronto, ON M6B 3Y1. This policy explains what information we collect through engageandchange.org and how we use it. Questions any time: info@engageandchange.org.

What we collect

Information you send us. When you use our contact or company sponsorship forms, we receive what you type: your name, email, phone number, organization, and your message. Those two forms are relayed to our email inbox by FormSubmit, a form delivery service, and are not stored in a database on this website.

Agency kit applications. When your agency applies for Project Winter Survival kits (or joins the notify-me or waitlist), we store the application on our own Cloudflare account: the agency's details, the two contacts you give us, your address, your request and how you plan to hand out the kits. We also record which link brought you to the form. The contact details are added to our Constant Contact list so we can send you program emails: your confirmation, your allocation, pickup instructions and reminders. Only the Project Winter Survival team can see the applications. You can unsubscribe from the emails at any time with the link in each one, and you can ask us to remove your application by emailing info@engageandchange.org.

Donations. Donations are processed entirely by CanadaHelps on their secure platform. We never see or store your card details. Tax receipts are issued through CanadaHelps via the Unity Values Foundation. CanadaHelps has its own privacy policy.

Analytics. Like most websites, we use Google Tag Manager and analytics cookies to understand how the site is used: pages visited, device type, and general location. This data is aggregated and does not identify you personally. You can block cookies in your browser settings and the site will keep working.

How we use it

We use the information you send us to respond to your questions, coordinate company teams, item drives and kit-packing events, process agency kit requests, and thank our donors and partners. That is the whole list. We never sell, rent, or trade personal information.

Event photos

Our events are photographed, and photos may appear in our gallery, on our social channels, and in materials that support our mission. If a photo includes you and you would like it removed, email info@engageandchange.org and we will take it down.

Third-party links

This site links to other organizations, including CanadaHelps, The Bargains Group, KITS FOR A CAUSE, and news outlets that have covered our work. Their sites have their own privacy practices, which we do not control.

Your choices

You can ask us what personal information we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it. Email info@engageandchange.org and we will respond as quickly as we can. We keep correspondence only as long as we need it to do the work described above.

Changes

If this policy changes, the new version will be posted here with a new effective date.
