Privacy & Disclosure

Group Messaging Privacy Notice

Canada’s Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL) prohibits the sending of commercial electronic messages (CEMs), including text messages and other forms of digital messaging if the CEM encourages participation in a commercial activity.

The Children’s Aid Society of the District of Nipissing and Parry Sound (CASNPS) requires your consent to send text messages to you that promote, advertise or offer goods and/or services. While partaking in commercial activities is not a core function of CASNPS, some of the following examples, may be construed as commercial in nature, or may fall under a CASL exception:

  • Providing information about upcoming opportunities, workshops, youth programming and/or similar training or events.
  • Online surveys or messages that solicit your feedback.
  • Messages that provide general information about CASNPS’s services

If you consent to receiving CEMs, such as the examples described above, please reply with “Y” to opt-in or “N” to opt-out. Please note you can withdraw your consent at any time by replying with the word “STOP”.
