Protecting Your Privacy

ADFF recognizes your right to privacy and pledges to protect it.
While we have always respected our clients, customers, member's privacy and safeguarded
their personal information, we have strengthened our commitment to protecting personal
information because of British Columbia's Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA). PIPA
sets out the ground rules for how BC businesses and not-for-profit organizations may collect,
use and disclose personal information. We will inform our clients, customers and members of
why and how we collect, use and disclose their personal information, obtain their consent
where required, and only handle their personal information that a reasonable
person would consider appropriate in the circumstances.
We may collect, use or disclose personal information in the following circumstances:

• When the collection use or disclosure of personal information is permitted or required by law,
• in an emergency that threatens an individual's life, health, or personal security, when personal
information is available from a public source (eg: a telephone directory)
• when we require legal advice from a lawyer
• for purposes of collecting a debt,
• to protect ourselves from fraud
• to investigate an anticipated breach of an agreement or contravention of the law
• exhibitor's entries,
• vendor information
• seasonal rentals
