Privacy Policy
Privacy Policy
The following is for informational purposes only and not to be considered legal advice.
Canada's Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) does not apply to non-commercial organizations like Probus clubs for activities such as collecting membership fees, organizing club activities, compiling a list of members' names and addresses, or mailing out newsletters. Probus clubs are thus not required to post relevant policies on their websites.
However, as responsible and caring handlers of personal information we owe it to our members and guests to protect their information the best way we can and to be transparent about it. This is why it is recommended to have a privicy policy in place, to make it available via the club's website, and to follow it!
Clubs are welcome to copy or adapt the respective privacy policy published on the PROBUS Canada website (link to document).

Embedding the Standard Constitution for Probus Clubs
Embedding the Standard Constitution for Probus Clubs
It is recommended that Probus clubs display the Standard Constitution on their websites. Since the document is not to be modified outside the amendment process, it is advisable to point to the master document rather than making local copies. That way any future updates will automatically appear on club websites.
Many (most?) websites allow embedding code that displays the master document on a club website. Please refer to your website's help documentation on how to embed the following code, which you can see in action at https://www.beavervalleyprobus.com/Constitution/
<iframe width="100%" height="1090px" src="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1wodecSbXUMh7RLl3lRk-6IUWcDnK7NRXJxjzIaSZ6Qo/view?rm=minimal" frameborder="no"></iframe>
Alternatively, a link to the master document can be added to a club website. Depending on the computer used, clicking on this link results either in a PDF download or in a display in the browser's PDF viewer.
