Here at the Bateman Foundation, we believe privacy is a fundamental human right. Since it is impossible for us to provide our programs without collecting some personal information, we strive to protect your privacy to the best of our abilities. We fully comply with the Personal information Protection Act of British Columbia, as well as the upcoming federal Digital Charter Implementation Act, and we aim for above and beyond. The Bateman Foundation operates the Bateman Gallery and the Bateman Gallery Gift Shop. This Privacy Policy applies to all entities operated under the Bateman Foundation, and outlines what information is collected, how we use your information and your privacy rights.
