Receiving Personal Data from the Keewaydin Foundation
The Keewaydin Foundation takes protective steps to ensure that the personal information collected and stored on our constituents is shared only on an as-needed basis, and through secure encrypted sources.

Proper Handling of Personal Data Shared by the Keewaydin Foundation
Volunteer Confidentiality:
Confidentiality is the preservation of privileged information. By necessity personal and private information is disclosed in a professional working relationship with our volunteers. Part of what you learn is necessary to provide services to our constituencies; other information is shared within the development of a helping, trusting relationship. Therefore, most information gained about individuals through an assignment is confidential in terms of the law, and disclosure could make you legally liable. Disclosure could also damage your relationship with the Keewaydin Foundation.
