Privacy Policy

This program strictly adheres to Canadian law that protects your privacy. This program and its data collection methodologies follow guidelines set forth by the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA – Canada).

What kind of information is collected and why?

First Name: Our software is personalized, so in order to save your personal information so you can log in at a later date we need your first name, an alias or a screen name. We do not record your first name, alias or screen name.

Email Address: Your email address is required so we can email your program access information to your email account. We do this for security purposes to help reduce spam from appearing in our Support Groups. For security purposes, we suggest that all users sign up with an anonymous Yahoo! or Hotmail Email account. In some areas of our programs we provide users the option of emailing their results to their health care professional. This is only a service we provide and we do not save these email addresses in a database.

Data: Any data that is collected is cumulative and is only compiled with data from other program participants. We do not keep individual statistics.

How will cumulative data be used?
Evolution Health Systems and independent academic researchers and/or accredited academic organizations conduct research to further enhance the understanding of disease conditions, and we also conduct research to improve our programs. We will not sell data to third parties.

Your involvement in an Ontario-based Study and Support Program
The Stop Study is truly unique as it is an ongoing effort that is designed to give people more control of their health. Research data is only reviewed on the basis of population. At no time will our member's names be associated with any of the information generated from our programs. Data will only be reviewed by researchers who have signed Non-Disclosure Agreements and have received written permission from Evolution Health Systems.

If you participate in our programs, you can consider yourself part of an advanced, ongoing effort to help others.
