Iranian Eternal Heroes Remembrance (IEHR) is committed to operating with integrity, transparency, dignity, and respect for the communities and individuals we serve.
As a Canadian, non-partisan, community-focused non-profit organization centered on remembrance, education, awareness, historical documentation, storytelling, research, and community engagement, IEHR believes that clear standards are essential to building trust and protecting the dignity of the people whose stories we preserve.
This Legal & Transparency section explains IEHR’s approach to privacy, website use, copyright and content, contributor and community participation, and organizational transparency. These policies are intended to support a respectful, safe, responsible, and transparent experience for visitors, contributors, collaborators, families, volunteers, advisors, and community members.
IEHR aims to follow applicable laws and generally recognized principles of privacy, responsible digital engagement, ethical conduct, intellectual-property protection, and non-profit accountability. These policies may be updated as IEHR’s activities, services, technology, and legal obligations evolve.
IEHR respects the privacy of visitors, contributors, participants, families, volunteers, collaborators, and community members. This Privacy Policy explains, in general terms, the personal information IEHR may collect through its website and related digital activities, how that information may be used or disclosed, and the choices available to individuals.
1. Information We May Collect
Depending on how you interact with IEHR, and where the relevant feature or activity is offered, IEHR may collect information such as:
2. How Information May Be Collected
Personal information may be collected directly from you when you communicate with IEHR, submit information through the website, participate in an interview or initiative, provide materials for publication, register for an activity, make an inquiry, or otherwise engage with the organization. Limited technical information may also be collected automatically through cookies, website-hosting tools, analytics technologies, security tools, anti-spam services, embedded content, and similar technologies.
3. How IEHR May Use Information
IEHR may use personal information for purposes that include:
4. Consent, Choice, and Sensitive Information
Where consent is appropriate or required, IEHR seeks to explain the purpose of collection, use, or disclosure in a reasonably clear manner. Individuals may choose not to provide optional personal information; however, this may limit IEHR’s ability to respond to a request, include a contribution, arrange participation, or provide a particular service or opportunity.
Consent relating to interviews, photographs, recordings, media participation, family stories, publications, and similar activities may also be governed by a separate IEHR media-consent, release, contributor, or participation agreement. For particularly sensitive material, IEHR may use additional safeguards or publication preferences appropriate to the circumstances.
5. Cookies, Analytics, Security Tools, and Embedded Content
The IEHR website may use cookies and similar technologies to support website functionality, analyze general website traffic, improve user experience, and help protect forms or digital services from abuse. Visitors may be able to manage cookies through their browser settings or through controls made available by the website platform.
IEHR’s website currently uses Google reCAPTCHA on certain forms to help prevent spam and abuse. Use of reCAPTCHA may involve the processing of technical information by Google in accordance with Google’s own privacy terms. Pages may also include links to or embedded content from third-party services such as social-media, video, publication, or analytics platforms. Those services may collect information under their own privacy policies and settings.
6. Service Providers and Processing Outside Canada
IEHR may use third-party service providers to host or operate the website, deliver communications, provide security or anti-spam services, store information, analyze website performance, support digital publishing, or assist with organizational activities. These providers may process information in Canada or in other jurisdictions. Information processed outside Canada may be subject to the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is processed.
IEHR seeks to use reputable service providers and to limit disclosure to information reasonably necessary for the relevant service or purpose.
7. Information Sharing and Public Disclosure
IEHR does not sell or rent personal information for third-party commercial marketing. IEHR may disclose personal information only as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, with appropriate consent, through authorized service providers, as part of an approved publication or activity, to protect safety or legal rights, or where disclosure is required or permitted by law.
Information intentionally published on the Internet, social media, video platforms, publications, or other public channels may be copied, shared, archived, indexed, or redistributed by third parties beyond IEHR’s reasonable control. IEHR therefore seeks to obtain appropriate consent before publishing identifiable personal information.
8. Electronic Communications
If IEHR offers newsletters, updates, event notices, fundraising communications, or other electronic messages, IEHR will seek to manage those communications in accordance with applicable requirements. Where an unsubscribe option is required or offered, recipients may use that mechanism or contact IEHR to request that future communications stop. Transactional, administrative, legal, or relationship-based communications may continue where appropriate.
9. Retention
IEHR may retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, for legitimate archival or historical purposes consistent with IEHR’s mission, or as required for legal, governance, financial, administrative, safeguarding, or record-keeping purposes. Retention periods may vary depending on the nature of the information and the activity involved.
10. Safeguards and Security Incidents
IEHR seeks to use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards appropriate to the sensitivity of the personal information in its custody or control. No Internet transmission or electronic storage method is completely secure, and IEHR cannot guarantee absolute security.
If IEHR becomes aware of a privacy or security incident involving personal information, it will assess the circumstances and take reasonable steps to contain, investigate, document, and respond to the incident, including notification or reporting where required by applicable law.
11. Access, Correction, and Withdrawal
Individuals may contact IEHR to ask about personal information they have provided, request correction of inaccurate information, or withdraw consent for future uses where applicable and subject to legal, contractual, archival, publication, safeguarding, or other legitimate limitations. Where content has already been publicly distributed, printed, incorporated into completed materials, archived for legitimate purposes, or copied by third parties, complete removal may not always be possible.
12. Children and Young People
IEHR’s website is intended for a general audience and is not specifically directed to children. Where IEHR collects or publishes personal information, photographs, interviews, or other identifiable content involving a minor, IEHR will seek appropriate parent or legal-guardian consent and, where suitable, the young person’s informed assent.
13. External Links and Third-Party Services
The IEHR website may contain links to third-party websites, social-media platforms, news sources, research resources, publication platforms, or other external services. IEHR is not responsible for the privacy practices, content, security, terms, or availability of third-party services. Visitors should review the applicable policies of those services.
14. Changes to This Privacy Policy
IEHR may update this Privacy Policy as its website, programs, technology, practices, or legal obligations evolve. Material updates will be reflected by changing the “Last Updated” date and, where appropriate, by providing additional notice.

Except as permitted by applicable law or expressly authorized by the applicable rights holder, IEHR website content may not be reproduced, republished, modified, distributed, sold, licensed, or used for commercial purposes without appropriate permission.
Nothing in this policy is intended to restrict uses that are permitted by applicable law, including fair dealing where the legal requirements for such use are satisfied. Users remain responsible for determining whether their proposed use is lawful and for providing source or creator acknowledgment where required.
3. Contributor and Collaborator Rights

Before publishing contributed material, IEHR may request appropriate written permission, consent, or a contributor agreement defining the scope of IEHR’s publication, display, translation, reproduction, archival, and promotional rights.

2. Accuracy, Rights, and Privacy
Contributors should make reasonable efforts to ensure that factual statements are accurate and should distinguish personal recollection, opinion, interpretation, and allegation from verified fact where appropriate.

3. Sensitive Stories and Family Dignity
IEHR places particular importance on the dignity of individuals and families whose experiences are documented. Sensitive stories, photographs, interviews, and personal details should be handled with care, appropriate consent, and respect for the context in which information was provided.

4. Moderation
IEHR reserves the right to review, moderate, decline, edit for clarity or format, restrict, or remove submitted content or community interactions that conflict with these guidelines or that may create legal, privacy, safety, accuracy, dignity, or reputational concerns.
