The Coldest Night of the Year Respects Your Privacy.

What We Collect and How We Use It
Blue Sea Philanthropy, operating "Coldest Night of the Year" and "Ride for Refuge" under the charitable governance of International Teams Canada, does not sell, rent or lease personal donor or participant information for any reason.

Donor contact information is retained in order to issue tax receipts and for administrative communication with the donor as required by law. Event information is stored and retained in our system, permitting participants to view their own supporters in past events when participating in subsequent years.

Registrant information may be disclosed to staff or location leader volunteers for the purpose of answering inquiries, the safe operation of events, and for follow-up purposes.

Ongoing Communication
Participants will be offered the opportunity to receive regular communication from Blue Sea Philanthropy/Coldest Night of the Year/Ride for Refuge, but event donors will never be placed on an email or direct mail distribution list.

Information Security
We are committed to ensuring that your information is secure. In order to prevent unauthorized access or disclosure, we have put in place physical, electronic and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect online.
