Privacy Policy

Who we are

We are the Vancouver Kaifong Association, a non-profit organization based in British Columbia. Our website address is: https://vankaifong.com.

We are committed to protecting your personal information in accordance with British Columbia’s Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA).

What personal data we collect and why

Event Registrations (Pretix)

When you register for our events, we use a third-party ticketing system called Pretix. We collect the information you provide (such as your name, email address, and payment details) solely to process your ticket, manage the event, and send you event-related updates.

Donations (Stripe)

If you choose to donate to us, your payment is processed securely by Stripe. We do not store your credit card information on our servers. We may collect your name and email to send you a receipt and thank you for your support.

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., our Instagram social wall, videos, or images). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

These websites (such as Instagram or YouTube) may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, especially if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

Cookies and Analytics

Cloudflare

Our website is hosted on Cloudflare Pages. Cloudflare may collect anonymized technical data (like IP addresses and browser types) to help deliver the website securely and protect against attacks (DDoS protection). This is standard for most websites and is necessary for security.

No Tracking Cookies

Unlike many other sites, we do not use invasive tracking cookies or advertising pixels. We do not have user accounts or login pages for the general public, so we do not set login cookies.

We do not sell or trade your personal information. We only share data with the third-party service providers mentioned above (Pretix, Stripe, Cloudflare) as necessary to run our website and events.

How long we retain your data

We retain personal information only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected or as required by law.

Your Rights

Under BC law, you have the right to request access to the personal information we hold about you and to ask for corrections if it is inaccurate. You can also request that we delete your data, provided we are not required to keep it for legal or administrative reasons.
