Privacy & Data Collection Policy
Effective Date: June 15, 2026
The Edmonton Rodeo Cowboys Benevolent Foundation is deeply committed to maintaining the trust and privacy of our donors, athletes, and website visitors. This policy outlines exactly how information is handled on this website. Because we prioritize your security and operational simplicity, this website does not directly collect, harvest, or store any personal or financial information.
1. No Direct Information Collection
We do not use website user accounts, trackable member profiles, or native database forms to capture your personal details.
Financial & Donation Data: All online financial contributions are processed off-site through our secure, third-party partner platform, Zeffy. The foundation website does not capture, see, or store your credit card details, banking credentials, or personal donor profiles.
Aid Application Data: Our injury aid application process utilizes a downloadable document. There is no interactive or 'fill-in' application form hosted on this site. Sidelined athletes download the static form directly to their personal devices and submit it independently via secure email to the Canadian Professional Rodeo Association (CPRA). No sensitive medical, financial, or personal application data passes through or remains on this website's server.
2. Third-Party Links and Extensions
This website contains links and integrated features managed by trusted third-party partners:
Zeffy (Donation Plugin): When using our embedded donation tool, you are interacting directly with Zeffy’s secure, zero-fee fundraising network. Your transaction information is governed entirely by Zeffy’s independent privacy and data protection policies.
External Resource Links: We provide outbound links to community resource hubs such as the Canadian Pro Rodeo Sports Medicine Team (prorodeosportmed.com) and The Porchlight Society (porchlightsociety.ca). Once you leave our domain, we are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those external platforms.
3. Basic Web Analytics (Cookies)
Like most standard websites, our hosting platform may utilize basic, non-identifiable cookies or server logs to monitor generalized, anonymous traffic patterns (such as total monthly visitors, browser types, and page views). This information is purely statistical and cannot be traced back to any individual user.
4. Contact Us
If you choose to communicate with us directly via our public email or mailing address, we will only use your provided contact details to respond to your specific inquiry. We will never sell, trade, or distribute your email address or communication history to third parties.
