Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 2026

Humanics Institute (“we,” “us,” or “our”) is a federally registered Canadian non-profit organization located in Cumberland, Ontario. We operate the Humanics Sanctuary & Sculpture Park at www.humanicsinstitute.org. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information when you visit our website or contact us.

1. Information We Collect

We may collect the following types of information:

  • Contact information — such as your name and email address, when you voluntarily submit a contact or venue inquiry form on our website.
  • Usage data — non-personally identifiable information about how visitors interact with our website, such as pages visited, time spent on the site, and referring URLs. This is collected automatically through analytics tools (see Section 3).
  • Communications — if you contact us by email, we retain that correspondence to respond to your inquiry.

We do not collect payment information directly. Any donations or payments are processed through secure third-party platforms.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Respond to inquiries and venue booking requests
  • Send updates or newsletters you have opted into
  • Improve the content and functionality of our website
  • Understand how visitors find and use our site so we can better serve our community
  • Comply with applicable legal obligations

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for their marketing purposes.

3. Google Analytics and Cookies

Our website may use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC. Google Analytics uses cookies — small text files stored on your device — to help us analyze site traffic and usage patterns. The data collected is aggregated and anonymous; it does not identify you personally.

You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking at any time by installing the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-on.

For more information on how Google handles data, please visit Google’s Privacy Policy.

4. Google Ads

We use Google Ads for marketing, which allows our ads to appear in Google Search results. Google may use aggregated, anonymous data to serve and measure these ads. No personally identifiable information is shared with Google through this program.

5. Third-Party Links

Our website may contain links to third-party websites such as social media platforms and ticketing or donation services. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites and encourage you to review their policies independently.

6. Data Retention

We retain contact form submissions and email correspondence only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purpose for which it was collected, or as required by law. You may request deletion of your information at any time by contacting us.

7. Your Rights

Under Canadian privacy law (PIPEDA) and, where applicable, international regulations including GDPR, you have the right to:

  • Access the personal information we hold about you
  • Request correction of inaccurate information
  • Request deletion of your information
  • Withdraw consent to receiving communications from us at any time

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the information below.

8. Children’s Privacy

Our website is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has submitted personal information to us, please contact us and we will promptly delete it.

9. Security

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect the information we collect from unauthorized access, disclosure, or loss. However, no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated date at the top. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
