About us

Our website address is: https://www.actagainstcovid.ca.

Sending supporters updates by email is more effective than a Facebook page, Twitter or other social media platforms for keeping everyone updated about Take Action Against COVID’s important campaign events. On average, because of the Facebook “algorithm,” you see only 7% of the updates of a Facebook page, unless you actually visit the page often. While Facebook is necessary for this campaign, emails are just better at prompting us than Facebook.
Our Facebook page can reach more people with paid ads, but these are expensive. Facebook advertising adds up, in spite of the fact that they are demonstrated to be seen by fewer people over time.
With that said, please subscribe to our e-newsletter! If you’re cautious about signing up for things— and good for you if you are— please read further about how we use your contact info when you subscribe.

What do we do with your contact information?

We only use your contact info to facilitate you finding out about and getting to events related to establishing and restoring protective pandemic policies.
We never, ever share, rent, or sell our mailing list, or your contact information, with/to anyone else, even with groups whose goals we share.
You can un-subscribe from our announcement list at any time with a link in the bottom of the email.
The only instance your contact info is shared with anyone outside of ourselves is when signing a petition.

Tracking created by ‘remarketing’ website code

We use a tool called Facebook Pixel that tracks conversions, which adds a tracker to all of our webpages, which reports on actions people take after viewing ads we have created on Facebook. “Conversion tracking” helps Take Action Against COVID measure the return on our investment in Facebook ads, by reporting on the actions people take after viewing those ads. No personal information is contained in, or collected, as a result of using these cookies or pixels.
