The consent form may vary according to the circumstance and type of information collected.
The SYTF prefers to obtain explicit consent electronically or in writing.

SYTF may also, without your consent, use the personal information provided as follows:

• If the use is for purposes consistent with those for which it was collected;
• If the use is for your benefit;
• If the use is for fraud prevention or detection, or to improve security measures;
• If the use is for study, research and statistical purposes and is de-identified.

The SYTF may also receive personal information from third parties, including but not limited to organizations that partner with the SYTF as part of program and workshop initiatives, fundraising or other projects. In these cases, the SYTF only receives this personal information if the person has given their consent to the organization’s third parties, or if the law allows it to do so.
It is understood that this personal information will receive the same treatment as all other personal information collected directly by the SYTF.
Conversely, the SYTF may share information with third-party organizations (with your consent).

As part of its activities, the SYTF may have to give access to systems and technological applications containing your personal information to service suppliers so that they can help operate them. They will be strictly prohibited from using this personal information for any other purpose. The SYTF will sign a service agreement with each of these service providers to ensure the protection of any personal information that may be accessible to them.  The SYTF limits as much as possible its suppliers’ access to your personal information according to the actions taken and the limits of the applications and systems in place.

It’s important to note that even if the consent to receive marketing communications from the SYTF has been withdrawn, the SYTF may communicate with you about financial transactions related to your past or future donations or follow up on a request for grants or registration for a workshop.

Any person who has provided his or her personal information in connection with philanthropic solicitation will be able to withdraw his or her consent at any time and will be informed that he or she may withdraw consent at any time.
