Consent to receive electronic communications

Canada’s anti-spam legislation (“CASL”) regulates the distribution of commercial electronic messages. To comply with the law, His Highness Prince Aga Khan Shia Imami Ismaili Council for Canada, the local Councils and affiliated Institutions (collectively, the “Institutions”), are required to obtain your consent in order to send you these types of communications.

“Commercial electronic messages” or “CEMs” broadly means any electronic messages which encourage participation in a commercial activity, whether or not done for the expectation of profit. This may include newsletters, publications, announcements, advertisements, invitations and other news or information provided by the Institutions. To email you about the Institutions’ programming, services and other types of information, we need your consent as these emails may qualify as CEMS and be subject to CASL.

Collection, Use and Disclosure of Personal Information

The personal information submitted by you will be collected by the Institutions and used to manage, evaluate and make decisions, assess the key characteristics of families that are served by the program, and to communicate with you regarding other programmes.  Such personal information will also be used for the following purposes: (a) to communicate with you and/or deliver non-commercial information, services and programming to you regarding the work of the Institutions ; (b) for Institutional planning and evaluation purposes including, without limitation, to assist with the creation, review and implementation of programs, services and measures intended to benefit the Shia Imami Ismaili Muslim community in Canada and throughout the world (and such information may be shared with other boards and portfolios existing under the Council for Canada and the Institutions for similar purposes); (c) to conduct statistical analysis necessary to further assist the Institutions in fulfilling their mandates; (d) for demographic and community research; (e) for the planning of or response to a natural disaster, emergency event or imminent threat to the Shia Imami Ismaili Muslim community in Canada and throughout the world; and (f) to respond to your comments or questions.
