BOM uses reasonable administrative, technical and physical safeguards to help protect personal information against unauthorized access, use, alteration, disclosure or destruction.

These safeguards may include access controls, secure systems, password protections, vendor review, staff or volunteer access limitations, and other reasonable security measures.

No website, system or method of electronic transmission is completely secure. While BOM works to protect personal information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

11. Data Retention

BOM keeps personal information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.

Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information and the reason it was collected. For example, we may retain certain information for volunteer records, donation records, accounting, legal compliance, safety, dispute resolution, ministry administration, or historical program records.

When information is no longer needed, BOM may delete, archive, de-identify or securely retain it in accordance with applicable practices and requirements.

12. Accessing, Updating or Deleting Information

You may contact BOM to request access to, correction of or deletion of personal information you have provided.

Before processing a request, we may need to verify your identity and confirm the information involved. We may decline or limit requests when permitted or required by law, including when information must be retained for legal, accounting, safety, security, volunteer administration or legitimate ministry-related purposes.

Account users may also be able to access or update certain information directly through their account.

13. Children’s Privacy

This website is not intended to collect personal information from children under the age of 13 without appropriate parent or guardian consent.

If BOM becomes aware that it has collected personal information from a child under 13 without appropriate consent, we will take reasonable steps to delete that information or obtain appropriate consent.

Volunteer activities involving minors may require parent or guardian permission, additional forms or separate authorization.
