EFCL is committed to protecting your privacy. Please read the EFCL Online Privacy Statement below and also any supplemental information listed to the right for additional details about particular EFCL pages and services that you may use.
This EFCL Online Privacy Statement applies to data collected by EFCL through the majority of its Web sites and services, as well as its offline product support services.
Purchase of Community League Memberships
EFCL provides the service of Community League Membership as a service to Edmonton Community Leagues. Community League Boards have the right to refuse membership to any application. The online purchase of a membership does not guarantee membership in any league. Addresses of members will be verified and Community Leagues will first encourage membership to home leagues before issuing guest memberships. Abuse of the ordering system and misrepresentation of home addresses in this purchase process could lead to abolition of online ordering privileges and/or membership to leagues and/or participation in activities that are benefits of community league membership. All fees collected are distributed to leagues. Any claims you have must be processed through the leaguues. Administrative handling charges are non-refundable.
Collection of Your Personal Information
For some product purchases and services we ask you to provide personal information, such as your e-mail address, name, home or work address, or telephone number. We may also collect demographic information, such as your postal code, age, gender, preferences, interests and favorites. If you choose to make a purchase or sign up for a paid subscription service, we will ask for additional information, such as your credit card number and billing address, which is used to create a billing account or direct you to paypal.
In order to access some EFCL services, you will be asked to sign in with an e-mail address and password, which we refer to as your user credentials. You can use the same credentials to sign in to many different EFCL pages and services.
We may use technologies, such as cookies and web beacons, to collect information about the pages you view, the links you click and other actions you take on our sites and services. We also deliver advertisements and use Web site analytics tools on our site.
When you receive newsletters or promotional e-mail from EFCL, we may use web beacons (described below), customized links or similar technologies to determine whether the e-mail has been opened and which links you click in order to provide you more focused e-mail communications or other information.
In order to offer you a more consistent and personalized experience in your interactions with EFCL, information collected through one EFCL service may be combined with information obtained through other EFCL services. We may also supplement the information we collect with information obtained from other companies. For example, we may use services from other companies that enable us to derive a general geographic area based on your IP address in order to customize certain services to your geographic area.
Use of Your Personal Information
Microsoft collects and uses your personal information to operate and improve its sites and services. These uses may include providing you with more effective customer service; making the sites or services easier to use by eliminating the need for you to repeatedly enter the same information; performing research and analysis aimed at improving our products, services and technologies.
We also use your personal information to communicate with you. We may send certain mandatory service communications such as welcome letters, news, billing reminders, information on technical service issues, and security announcements. Certain notifications such as newsletters, and updates have the option to unsubscribe.
Public inquiries regarding Community Leagues received by email are forwarded to appropriate board members with no visibility to the public of the email address unless that email address is visible on the league’s own website or the owner of that email has given express permission to release it.
Public inquiries regarding Community Leagues received by phone are replied with a hall contact. In the event that the inquiry produces no results we offer first name and phone number of one of the following positions – President, Membership Director, Communications and if required we may extend this to other board members.
As per the Not for Profit Bylaws the first and last name of the board members for any not for profit organization are public information.
Sharing of Your Personal Information
Except as described in this statement, we will not disclose your personal information outside of EFCL and its controlled subsidiaries and affiliates without your consent. EFCL follows the guidelines outlined in the FOIPP Act. EFCL communications request you to share your personal information and at the very least encourage one public email and one public telephone number. This is not obligatory.
We share the public hall information.
Public inquiries deemed of League pertinence including but not limited to City announcements of Open Houses, Bylaw Changes, and Recreation Programs, Government inquiries will be forwarded to presidents, civics directors, treasurers as appropriate. In some cases we forward president contact lists.
We occasionally hire other companies to provide limited services on our behalf, such as handling the processing and delivery of mailings, providing customer support, hosting websites, processing transactions, or performing statistical analysis of our services. Those service providers will be permitted to obtain only the personal information they need to deliver the service. They are required to maintain the confidentiality of the information and are prohibited from using it for any other purpose. However, for credit card processing, our fraud detection vendors may use aggregate data to help improve their service. This helps them more accurately detect fraudulent uses of credit cards. We may access or disclose information about you, including the content of your communications, in order to: (a) comply with the law or respond to lawful requests or legal process; (b) protect the rights or property of EFCL or our customers, including the enforcement of our agreements or policies governing your use of the services; or (c) act on a good faith belief that such access or disclosure is necessary to protect the personal safety of EFCL employees, customers or the public.

When we transmit highly confidential information (such as a credit card number or password) over the Internet, we protect it through the use of encryption, such as the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol.
