Communication, Privacy Policy and Copyright

Communications Policy

The Club des ornithologues de Brome-Missisquoi Inc. communicates with its members using a contact list called Membres du COBM (made up of e-mail addresses provided by the Club members). The person in charge of communications and the other members of the Board contact their members in order to issue communiqués, distribute the journal LInfo-Oiseaux and other relevant documents or messages in accordance with the mission of the Club. This communication channel is not to be used for personal purposes. The members of COBM can communicate with the members of the Board by consulting the page Our team.

Confidentiality of Contact information

The personal data provided by members is used for information purposes, registration with COBM and communication between the Board and its members. It will be disclosed to Board members only. You may at any time modify your information or ask us to modify or delete it.

No contact information or other personal data will be shared with a third party unless authorized by the member. At no time will member information be used for marketing or similar purposes.

When a Board member sends email messages to the entire COBM community, that contact group is put in BBC (blind copy) in order to maintain members anonymity.

Members who do not wish to be identified in a photo published in COBM publications are asked to inform the Privacy Offer.

Privacy Officer: Lysane Côté.
