50PLUS.com has created this privacy statement in order to demonstrate our firm commitment to the privacy of our visitors and members.

What personal information does 50plus.com collect and why?

Community
When you join our online community, we ask for basic contact information (like your name and e-mail address) and demographic information (like your age, province and postal code). We use your e-mail address to contact you when necessary. Demographic and profile data is also collected at our site. We share demographic and profile information with advertisers on an aggregate basis (ie. 25% of our visitors are from Alberta and have visited 100 times in the last month). We do not share personal information with other members or any other third parties without your written permission. You can cancel your membership by e-mailing support@50plus.com

Order forms
Our site uses order forms for you to request products and services (ie. CARP memberships). We collect your contact information (like your e-mail address) and financial information (like your credit card number) in order to process your order.

Surveys
Our online surveys may ask you for demographic information (like your age, sex, province or income level). This information is shared with advertisers on an aggregate basis. Again – no individual information is ever released.

Contests
We sometimes run contests on our site in partnership with other companies. Please see each contest’s privacy statement.
