CIFVF'S PRIVACY POLICY
The Canadian Independent Film and Video Fund ("CIFVF") recognizes
that an individual's right to privacy is an essential right to be protected.
We understand the importance in maintaining anonymity and protecting
personal information in our care and control. Our relationships with
those who contribute to the activities of CIFVF and those that participate
in the services offered by CIFVF are founded on trust and we are committed
to maintaining that trust.
For these reasons, our Privacy Policy provides all the safeguards
as standardized in the Personal Information Protection and Electronic
Documents Act, (the "PIPEDA"). It confirms our dedication
to protecting privacy and maintaining the trust that individuals have
placed in CIFVF. The CIFVF Privacy Policy is our guarantee that we will
maintain the confidentiality and privacy of the personal information
entrusted to us.

1. WHAT THE POLICY COVERS
The CIFVF Privacy Policy applies to personal information about identifiable

that is collected, used or disclosed by CIFVF.
The Privacy Policy will not apply to the collection, use or
disclosure of the following information:

number of a subscriber that appears in a telephone directory that is

number of an employee of an organization; or
(d) information that is publicly available and is specified by regulation
pursuant to the PIPEDA.
