P-39.1) and the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act ("PIPEDA", S.C. 2000, c. 5) (hereinafter the "Acts").

WHY WE COLLECT PERSONAL INFORMATION |
---|---|
6.1 | We strongly believe in both minimizing the information we collect and limiting its use and purpose. WFH uses your personal information only for the purposes and for the duration required for which it was collected, or for any use that may be required or permitted by legal compliance, government request, court order or other lawful purpose. |
6.2 | We collect personal information for a variety of reasons. In general, WFH collects only the personal information necessary to fulfill its mission.

The purposes for which we collect personal information include, but are not limited to:
|
6.3 | Wherever possible, rather than using personal information, we will anonymize and/or aggregate personal information so that it no longer identifies an individual and use it for the purposes stated above or for any purpose permitted by law. |

7. |
WHAT PERSONAL INFORMATION DO WE COLLECT? |
---|---|

7.2.1 | Information you provide directly to us: In many cases, we collect personal information directly from you when you provide your information by subscribing to our Newsletter, when you fill out other forms on our Websites and/or Platforms, when you make an inquiry or when you contact us in person or through the WFH Websites and/or Platforms. The provision of this information is strictly voluntary. We strongly encourage you not to provide any information beyond what is necessary. |

USE OF COOKIES |
---|---|
8.1 | The main types of data collected on WFH Websites and/or Platforms are cookies and personalization settings. Cookies are small text files that are downloaded when you visit certain pages of a site and stored in the memory of the device you are using. Cookies are completely harmless and cannot contain any viruses. They enable certain information (browser type, language, country, identifier, etc.) to be recorded and retrieved by the server on subsequent visits. Under no circumstances do cookies allow visitors to be identified. The data remains completely anonymous and is used only to facilitate browsing and improve the WFH’s Websites and/or Platforms based on the needs of its visitors. |
8.2 | If you do not wish cookies to be used, your browser options can be configured to refuse and/or delete cookies. Please note that disabling or deleting cookies may deprive you of certain functions offered on our Websites and/or Platforms. In addition, this procedure must be repeated for each browser and computer used. |
8.3 | Google Analytics. We also gather information automatically about visits to our Websites and/or Platforms to help us maintain and improve its design, and to evaluate traffic statistics, such as the times of day and days of week at which we see peak traffic, and to assess the relative popularity of different areas of the Websites and/or Platforms. We use Google Analytics to gather this data and analyze it. Google Analytics collects information about the date and time in which our Websites and/or Platforms were accessed, and may also track a visitor’s movement within the site, but does not collect personal information about the visitor. You can install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on to prevent information about your visits to our Websites and/or Platforms being sent to Google Analytics. Our web statistics software (Google Analytics) collects information about the date and time in which our Websites and/or Platforms were accessed, and we may also track a user’s movement within the Websites and/or Platforms. We use this data to improve our Websites and/or Platforms performance. |
8.4 | Meta Pixel. WFH also uses web beacons (“Pixels”) to analyze visitor activity to our Websites and/or Platforms. We use Meta Pixel to collect information about your interactions with our Websites and/or Platforms, such as pages visited, actions taken, buttons clicked and any pages visited as a result of the button clicks. Web beacons do not contain any personal information but may contain a unique identifier necessary for retargeting and targeted advertising. Meta Pixel allows us to measure the effectiveness of our advertising by understanding the actions you take on our Websites and/or Platforms. We use this data solely for analytical purposes to improve our services and deliver more relevant content. |
9. |

PROTECTION OF THE PRIVACY OF MINORS |

WFH may transfer personal information that we collect or that you provide as described in this Policy to service providers and other third parties we use to support our organization. Such third parties are contractually obligated to keep personal information confidential, use it only for the purposes for which we disclose it and process personal information in accordance with the standards set out in this Policy and in compliance with the Acts. |
11.3 | In the context of a legal obligation. WFH may disclose your personal information to comply with any court order, law or legal process, including to respond to any government or regulatory request, in accordance with applicable law, to combat fraud or harms to WFH or our members, or if we believe that disclosure is necessary or appropriate to protect the rights, property or safety of WFH or others. |

Data may also be stored locally on the devices you use to access WFH Websites and/or Platforms. |
12.2 | In such cases, the transfer will only take place if we find that the information would be adequately protected, in particular considering the sensitivity of the information, the purpose for which it is used, the protection the information would be afforded, and the legal framework applicable in the state or province where the information would be transferred. Any transfer will also be subject to appropriate contractual agreements to ensure adequate protection. |

All individuals who fail to comply with the principles and procedures of this Policy will be subject to corrective measures, including termination of their employment relationship, tenure or contract. |
13.4 | Despite these precautions, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure or error-free. As a result, we cannot guarantee absolute security. If you have reason to believe that your interaction with us is no longer secure, please contact us immediately. |

Cesar Garrido was born in Caracas, Venezuela. He has two sons, one of whom has hemophilia A, which was the impetus for him becoming a committed member of the bleeding disorders community—a commitment which began over two decades ago.
In 1996, Garrido became a member of the Venezuelan Association for Hemophilia (AVH). He has held a number of roles in that organization, including being a member of the Board of Directors and Treasurer and Project Manager.

At the international level, Garrido was an Advisory Board member of the International Alliance Patient Organization (IAPO) and has been a member of HERO (Haemophilia Experiences, Results and Opportunities) since 2010. He was also a development manager for a strategic alliance of 27 countries from the Americas—called the Coalition of the Americas (CoA)— that was set up to influence public policies.
The WFH has been a big part of Cesar Garrido’s life since 1999. He was a member of the Board of Directors from 2002 to 2010 and was most recently lay member from 2014 until his election as President in 2020. He has held a number of important roles at the WFH, including chair of the Accreditation Committee, chair of the Hemophilia Organization Twinnings (HOT) Committee, co-chair of Capacity Building Committee, national member organization (NMO) Vice President, and member of the President’s Strategic Council.

Recognizing that training women leaders ensures the diversity our community need to thrive; the Hemophilia Alliance has been a longtime supporter of the Susan Skinner Memorial Fund. They deepened their engagement with the global community through the establishment of the Travel Grant Program, which allows US-based multidisciplinary healthcare professionals the opportunity to attend WFH global training workshops. The wealth of experience and perspective attendees bring back home to their communities helps patients across the country. Their patience and support as we grappled with changing norms in these challenging times gave us the flexibility to meet our community’s needs with revamped programming.
Hemophilia of Georgia has stood with us for over three decades, playing an early role in distributing donated factor via the WFH Humanitarian Aid program. Our relationship has deepened over the years as they continued to support this program and came on board as a founding Chapter Challenge champion in 2016. Their belief in educating future leaders is clear in their investment in the Youth Leadership Workshops, which has led to the training of over 50 young adults. They also support workshops devoted to educating providers and patient leaders on how to collect and use data to advocate for better patient care. Their staff generously volunteer their time as trainers and as well as serving on various committees.
The National Bleeding Disorders Foundation helps advance our mission on several fronts. They inspire others to follow their lead as a founding champion of the NHF Chapter Challenge. Their commitment to equality of access is demonstrated in their support of the Cornerstone Initiative, which lays the foundation for care in the world's most underserved regions, as well as programs that aim to raise awareness and improve care of women with bleeding disorders and those with von Willebrand disease. We also benefit from their steadfast engagement with various programs including the WFH Twinning Program and their individual leaders’ contribution to our leadership and committees.

Los resultados de interés recolectados en el RMTC abarcan características demográficas, resultados médicos y relacionados con el tratamiento, resultados de la carga de la enfermedad, y resultados reportados por los pacientes.
El RMTC incluye cinco escalas funcionales (en inglés) como parte de su conjunto de datos ampliados:
El conjunto de datos mínimo (CDM) es un grupo de datos demográficos, sobre diagnóstico, síntomas y tratamiento que se recolecta de los pacientes que participan en el RMTC.
El conjunto de datos ampliado (CDA)es un grupo de datos más grande, con mayores detalles que el CDM, que abarca preguntas sobre datos demográficos, diagnóstico, síntomas, tratamiento y carga de la enfermedad de los pacientes. Los centros de tratamiento de hemofilia pueden utilizar el CDA para recolectar información de pacientes que participan en el RMTC. El conjunto de datos ampliado (CDA) del RMTC se agregó a la base de datos en marzo del 2019.

Frank Schnabel, un hombre de negocios canadiense con hemofilia A grave, fundó la FMH en 1963. Schnabel estaba convencido de que las organizaciones de pacientes podían ser mucho más eficaces, y hacer más para representar los intereses de las personas con trastornos de la coagulación, si trabajaban unidas. El primer Congreso de la FMH se realizó en Copenhague, Dinamarca, el 25 de junio de 1963, y en él participaron representantes de 12 países. Actualmente, la FMH y su red mundial de organizaciones nacionales miembros (ONM) representan los intereses de personas con hemofilia y otros trastornos de la coagulación hereditarios en 152 naciones.
