WHAT IS PERSONAL INFORMATION?
In this Privacy Policy, the term "personal information" means information about an individual who is identifiable by use of that information alone or with some other information that is available to us, and information that we combine directly with that identifying information, subject to certain exclusions set out in applicable privacy legislation.
OUR COLLECTION AND USE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION
(a) What personal information does the Sweepstakes collect and why?
We collect personal information only as necessary for the Sweepstakes' administration, operation, management and marketing, including our Website.
We do not collect any personal information from Princess Margaret Cancer Centre or University Health Network for purposes of the Sweepstakes.
We collect contact information and financial information of purchasers of Sweepstakes entries directly from them at the time of entry purchase and only if they voluntarily provide this information during the entry ordering process. This financial information is used solely to facilitate entry purchases. The contact information is used to fulfil entry orders, to award prizes, to publicly identify prize winners, and to meet applicable regulatory requirements as they exist from time to time.
We also use the contact information of Sweepstakes entry purchasers and the email addresses voluntarily provided by individuals in the process of inquiring about the purchase of entries or in the process of subscribing to our email updates to contact them about future Sweepstakes and fundraising events, the impact funds raised by the Sweepstakes has on the Foundation, to keep them informed about the impact of their support, share other activities of the Foundation with them, and to ask for their further support of our charitable mission.

(b) How does the Sweepstakes collect personal information?
Where it is practical to do so, we collect personal information directly from the subject individual.

We may also collect personal information directly from you if you contact us in any other manner, or where we respond to you, to discuss our Sweepstakes.
Our Website uses a feature called "cookies." A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user's hard drive containing information about the user.
