You never have to include your email address, real name, or personal information anywhere on this site unless you choose to do so!

When you click on any of the external links on this site you will no longer be on the MiraclesHappen.ca web site and may therefore be visiting a web site which will/may track your stop at every page, and sell this information to companies who will try and sell you products or services related to the topics found on the pages you visited. This site contains links to other sites. MiraclesHappen.ca is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such Web sites.

Our Bulletin Boards and Support Group Policies

Our Support Groups have a bulletin board format that allows our visitors the opportunity to interact with our on-line community for cancer support. These areas are strictly moderated  to keep inappropriate messages from being posted. You are offered the opportunity to include your email address with your message but you are not obligated to do so. If you do include your email address then it is visible to the general public on the bulletin board and we cannot control the actions of any 3rd parties. We will not sell email addresses from our bulletin boards.

Cookies

A cookie is a very tiny piece of text we're asking permission to place on your computer's hard drive. If you accept a cookie, then your browser adds the text in a small file. The purpose of the file is to let us know when you visit MiraclesHappen.ca. This text, by itself, merely tells us that a previous visitor has returned; it doesn't tell us anything else (who you are, your email address, or anything personal). They are similar to the stamp placed on the back of a child's hand when visiting a fair or carnival; they merely indicate that you have visited before.

Cookies help us evaluate your use of our site, such as what kind of information you want to see and what kind you will never read. Cookie technology allows Web sites to ask for your registration and preference questions only once. The next time you return to the Web site you will not necessarily need to "sign in" again. Remember that cookies are "non-executable" pieces of code; that is, they are incapable of doing anything to your hard drive.

Cookies are easy to delete from your hard drive; talk to your systems administrator or your Internet provider for detailed instructions.

We hope you are reassured that MiraclesHappen.ca will not knowingly violate your privacy in any way. Please feel free to use our pages as you deem appropriate to help yourself. If you have any questions or concerns concerning our privacy policies please feel to email us!
