Our Privacy Practices
Personal Information
The TNDP does not automatically gather your personal information. You may
anonymously access our website. Personal information is only obtained if you
supply it voluntarily when using our website, i.e. contacting us via e-mail,
entering a contest, making a purchase, subscribing to our e-newsletter or
registering for programs. In general, it will be obvious when the TNDP is
collecting your personal information because you will have to fill out a form.
The TNDP uses personal information in a limited number of
ways, foremost to complete transactions, deliver the selected product or service
and to respond to questions or comments. The TNDP will not sell or rent your
personal information. We may share your information in the following
situations:
To those suppliers or companies hired to deliver the
TNDP’s products or services, for example a shipping company that delivers a
package.
In some instances, for example online registration for
programs, visitors may be asked to submit credit card information for
payment. Credit card transactions are managed by payment processing
companies with whom the TNDP has partnered. The TNDP will not authorize these
companies to use the information except for the express purpose for which it
was provided.
In certain circumstances, the TNDP may use your contact
information to inform you of other TNDP products and services. You will have an opportunity at the time we collect the information to indicate your
preference for receiving additional information from the TNDP . If you do not wish to have your information
used for these or other identified purposes, tell us and we will respect your
wishes.
All personal information you provide is protected under the
Government of Ontario’s Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act.
Security
The TNDP employs reasonable administrative and technical measures to ensure the
security of personal information.

Where appropriate, the TNDP will specifically instruct children not to submit
personal information on our website.
