Effective Date: September 21, 2026
1. Our Commitment to Privacy
Global Green Democracy Initiative™ (GGDI) and 7GENZ™ respect the privacy of visitors, supporters, donors, customers, participants, partners and others who interact with our website and activities.
We collect, use, disclose and safeguard personal information responsibly and in accordance with applicable Canadian privacy laws. Where the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) applies to commercial activities, we follow its applicable requirements and privacy principles.
2. Personal Information We May Collect
Depending on how you interact with us, personal information may include:
• Name, email address, mailing address and other contact information
• Information provided when making a donation or sponsorship
• Information required to process merchandise orders or customer inquiries
• Information submitted for programs, partnerships, events or other activities
• Volunteer or employment application information, when applicable
• Communications and correspondence sent to us
• Website and technical information such as IP address, browser information, device information, cookies and website usage data
Payment information may be processed directly by third-party payment providers. We do not intentionally collect or store complete payment-card information when payment is handled directly by those providers.
3. How We Use Personal Information
We may use personal information to:
• Respond to questions, requests and correspondence
• Process or administer donations, sponsorships and other organizational transactions
• Process orders and provide customer support
• Administer programs, events, partnerships and organizational activities

• Manage volunteer or employment applications when applicable
• Maintain website security and functionality
• Understand website usage and improve our services
• Meet legal, regulatory, accounting and recordkeeping requirements
We limit collection and use to purposes that are reasonable and appropriate in the circumstances.
4. Consent and Communications
Where consent is required, we seek consent appropriate to the nature and sensitivity of the information and the purpose for which it is collected.
Individuals may withdraw consent to optional communications, subject to legal, contractual or operational requirements. Email communications containing an unsubscribe option may be discontinued by using that option.
5. Third-Party Platforms and Service Providers
Our website and activities may use or link to third-party services for website hosting, ecommerce, payment processing, print-on-demand production and fulfillment, publishing and book distribution, email communications, educational content, analytics and other operational functions.
These may include services such as Wix, Printful, Lulu, Substack and other providers used from time to time.
Information provided directly to a third-party platform may also be governed by that provider's privacy policy and terms. Some service providers may process or store information outside Canada, where it may be subject to the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is processed.
We do not sell or rent personal information or donor, customer or mailing lists.
6. Books, Courses and Founder-Created Works
Books, textbooks, workbooks, courses, training materials and other founder-created works may be offered through third-party publishing, educational or distribution platforms.
When a purchase or registration occurs directly through a third-party platform, that platform may independently collect and process information necessary to complete the transaction or provide access. Please review the applicable provider's privacy practices before submitting personal information.
7. Cookies and Website Technologies
Our website may use cookies and similar technologies required for website operation, security, ecommerce, preferences, analytics and other functionality.
Cookie choices may be available through the website's cookie controls or through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect website functionality.
8. Safeguarding and Retaining Information
We use reasonable administrative, technical and organizational safeguards appropriate to the information under our control.
No internet transmission or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Personal information is retained only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected and to meet applicable legal, accounting or operational requirements. Information that is no longer required may be securely deleted, destroyed or anonymized where appropriate.
9. Access, Correction and Privacy Questions
Subject to applicable law, individuals may request access to personal information we hold about them and request correction of information they believe is inaccurate or incomplete.
Individuals may also contact us with questions or concerns about how their personal information has been handled.
10. External Websites
Our website may contain links to websites and services operated by third parties. GGDI and 7GENZ do not control the privacy practices of independent third-party websites. We encourage visitors to review the privacy policies of those services.
11. Changes to This Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy may be updated as our website, programs, products, services and technology develop. When material revisions are made, the effective date above will be updated.
