How We Use Your Data

Your responses are used by the Ukrainian Canadian Congress (UCC) to support advocacy for fair immigration pathways for Ukrainian newcomers in Canada. The data helps us understand the needs, contributions, and challenges of our community, enabling us to make evidence-based policy recommendations to federal and provincial governments.

Data Security

Your personal information is processed and stored in secure databases with strict access controls. We use industry-standard encryption and security measures to protect your data.

Your email address, if provided, is used only for response validation and will not be shared or used for marketing purposes.

Data Sharing

Aggregated, anonymized data may be shared with government bodies, partner organizations, and in public reports to inform policy recommendations. Individual responses are never shared in a way that could identify you personally. We do not sell or rent your personal information to third parties.

Data Retention

Survey response data is retained for up to 2 years to support ongoing advocacy efforts. Analytics data is retained for up to 1 year. You may request deletion of your data at any time by contacting us.

Your Rights

In accordance with Canadian privacy legislation (PIPEDA), you have the right to request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information. You may withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of data processing prior to withdrawal.
