1. Introduction & Compliance Statement

This Privacy Policy governs the collection, use, and disclosure of personal information by Music Grant Inc. Canada ("we", "us", or "our"), operating out of Toronto, Ontario, Canada. We are dedicated to protecting the privacy of our visitors, clients, and users in absolute compliance with Canada’s federal Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA).

Our data practices also look forward to the operational parameters outlined in Canada’s proposed federal privacy updates, the Protecting Privacy and Consumer Data Act (PPCDA / Bill C-36), ensuring an exceptionally high standard of data transparency and user control.

What Is Personal Information at Music Grant Inc.?

At Music Grant Inc., we believe strongly in fundamental privacy rights — and that those fundamental rights should not differ depending on where you live in the world. That’s why we treat any data that relates to an identified or identifiable individual, or that is linked or linkable to them by Music Grant Inc. as “personal information,” no matter where the individual lives.

This means that data that directly identifies you — such as your name — is personal information, and also data that does not directly identify you but that can reasonably be used to identify you — is personal information. Aggregated data is considered non-personal information for the purposes of this Privacy Policy.

This Privacy Policy covers how Music Grant Inc. or a Music Grant Inc. affiliated company (collectively, “Music Grant”) handles personal information whether you interact with us on our websites, through another electronic device, or in person (including by phone or when visiting our locations). Music Grant Inc. may also link to third parties on our services or make third-party websites available for download. Music Grant Inc.’s Privacy Policy does not apply to how third parties define personal information or how they use it. We encourage you to read their privacy policies and know your privacy rights before interacting with them.

1.1 Children's Privacy Notice

Music Grant Inc.'s platforms and services are not directed to children under the age of 13. If you are not 13 years of age or older, you are not permitted to use our platforms or submit any data to us. In accordance with Canadian federal regulations regarding meaningful consent, we do not knowingly collect, process, or attempt to collect any personal information from children under the age of 13.

If you are a parent or legal guardian and believe that we have unknowingly collected personal information from an individual under the age of 13, please contact our Privacy Officer immediately using the contact details in Section 10 so we can take immediate action to remove this information. If we learn that a child's personal information was collected without verifiable parental or guardian authorization, it will be permanently deleted from our active systems as soon as possible.

For practical advice on how to protect your children and talk to youth about digital safety, you can visit the official Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Online Privacy and Security Portal.
