SickKids Foundation’s Privacy Statement
At SickKids Foundation we are committed to protecting the privacy of our donors. We value our donors' trust and recognize that maintaining this trust requires that we be open and accountable in our treatment of the information that you choose to share with us.
Your donation helps to ensure that SickKids can continue to provide the best healthcare possible for children by funding medical research, equipment needs, education and other special initiatives. In order to fulfill these activities, we gather and use personal information.
