Paid Subscription Plans
Calling Home offers semi-annual and annual paid subscription plans in exchange for a fee payable in full in advance of each such six-month or annual subscription. Except as expressly set forth herein, all fees are non-refundable once paid. All fees are in U.S. dollars. Any promotional or “trial basis” discounts offered are temporary and will terminate at the end of the applicable promotional period, but may be terminated earlier in Calling Home’s sole discretion. You agree to pay the applicable subscription fee in exchange for access to the content relevant to your paid subscription plan. The fee we will initially charge you for your subscription will be the price posted on the Site on the date that you register as a member. Once we charge you for your first subscription fee, you will receive a confirmation e-mail welcoming you to the Calling Home community and notifying you of your ability to access the portions of the Site applicable to your paid subscription.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: CALLING HOME WILL AUTOMATICALLY RENEW YOUR MEMBERSHIP ON EACH SIX-MONTH OR YEARLY (AS APPLICABLE) ANNIVERSARY OF THE DATE THAT CALLING HOME FIRST CHARGES YOU FOR YOUR FIRST SUBSCRIPTION FEE AND, AS AUTHORIZED BY YOU DURING THE MEMBERSHIP SIGN-UP PROCESS, CALLING HOME WILL CHARGE YOU WITH THE APPLICABLE SIX-MONTH OR YEARLY (AS APPLICABLE) SUBSCRIPTION FEE AND ANY SALES OR SIMILAR TAXES THAT MAY BE IMPOSED ON YOUR SUBSCRIPTION FEE PAYMENT (UNLESS YOU CANCEL PRIOR TO THE ANNIVERSARY DATE). EACH SUBSCRIPTION RENEWAL PERIOD IS FOR SIX MONTHS OR ONE YEAR. YOU MAY CANCEL YOUR SUBSCRIPTION AT ANY TIME THROUGH YOUR ACCOUNT SETTINGS, PROVIDED THAT ANY SUBSCRIPTION FEES CHARGED PRIOR TO THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF CANCELLATION WILL NOT BE REFUNDED, IN WHOLE OR IN PART. YOU WILL NOT BE ELIGIBLE FOR A PRO-RATED REFUND OF ANY PORTION OF THE SUBSCRIPTION FEES PAID FOR THE REMAINING PORTION OF THE THEN-CURRENT SEMI-ANNUAL OR YEARLY (AS APPLICABLE) SUBSCRIPTION TERM. IF YOU CANCEL YOUR SUBSCRIPTION, YOU WILL HAVE FULL ACCESS TO YOUR MEMBERSHIP BENEFITS UNTIL THE EXPIRATION OF THE THEN-CURRENT SEMI-ANNUAL OR YEARLY (AS APPLICABLE) SUBSCRIPTION TERM FOR WHICH YOU HAVE PAID, AND YOUR MEMBERSHIP BENEFITS WILL EXPIRE AT THE END OF THE THEN-CURRENT SEMI-ANNUAL OR YEARLY (AS APPLICABLE) SUBSCRIPTION TERM.
AUTOMATIC RENEWAL TERMS: Each paid membership subscription contains automatic renewal terms. You agree that you will be charged the fee you agreed to (depending on your particular subscription) for the length of time you agreed to, and that your subscription will automatically renew on those same terms until you cancel at any time through your account settings page on the Site, and you have read and agree to our Terms of Service, Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy. You represent and warrant that you are authorized to use the payment method designated, and you authorize Calling Home and our designated third-party payment processors to charge your designated payment method upon registration and upon each renewal for the total amount of any fees you owe to Calling Home, including any applicable taxes and other charges. If the payment method cannot be verified, is invalid, or is otherwise not acceptable, your access to the Site and the content contained therein may be terminated. For subscription services, unless you submit a nonrenewal notice through the Site prior to the end of the then-current subscription term, your subscription will automatically renew. Applicable fees for such renewals will be at Calling Home’s then-current rates. If your subscription is not renewed, a cancellation will be effective on the next renewal date of your subscription following your notice of cancellation and your access to the fee-based content will terminate at the end of your then current subscription term. Calling Home reserves the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to change its subscription plans or adjust its access fees or subscription fees at any time (but not the price in effect for your then-current subscription term). Any such changes will take effect following notice to you.
Refunds. We are confident that Calling Home will give you the resources and community you need to be a family cyclebreaker. And we know ending generational patterns takes time. That’s why we ask all members to commit to the membership and community for a minimum of 6 months (and ideally, 12 months). If you don’t find the tools and support you need, email hello@callinghome.co and let us know. If you email us within the first 30 days of initiation of your initial subscription requesting cancellation of your subscription and our team is unable to resolve your concerns, we will offer you a full refund; refunds will not be provided if you email us after the first 30 days of your initial subscription term. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to process your refund as promptly as is possible. Your membership benefits will expire upon completion of the refund request process.

International Transfers of Personal Information
The personal information we collect is stored and/or processed in the United Kingdom by us. Following an adequacy decision by the EU Commission, the UK has been granted an essentially equivalent level of protection to that guaranteed under UK GDPR.
On some occasions, where we share your data with third parties, they may be based outside of the UK, or the European Economic Area (“EEA”). These countries to which we store, process, or transfer your personal information may not have the same data protection laws as the country in which you initially provided the information.
If we transfer your personal information to third parties in other countries:
- we will perform those transfers in accordance with the requirements of the UK GDPR (Article 45) and Data Protection Act 2018;
- we will adopt appropriate safeguards for protecting the transferred data, including in transit, such as standard contractual clauses (“SCCs”) or binding corporate rules.
Your Data Subject Rights
Right to Restrict Processing: You have the right to request that we restrict the processing of your personal information if (i) you are concerned about the accuracy of your personal information; (ii) you believe your personal information has been unlawfully processed; (iii) you need us to maintain the personal information solely for the purpose of a legal claim; or (iv) we are in the process of considering your objection in relation to processing on the basis of legitimate interests.
Right to Object: You have the right to object to processing of your personal information that is based on our legitimate interests or public interest. If this is done, we must provide compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which overrides your interests, rights, and freedoms, in order to proceed with the processing of your personal information.
Right to be Informed: You have the right to be informed with how your data is collected, processed, shared and stored.
Right of Access: You may request a copy of the personal information that we hold about you at any time by submitting a Data Subject Access Request (DSAR). The statutory deadline for fulfilling a DSAR request is 30 calendar days from our receipt of your request.
Right to Erasure: In certain circumstances, you can ask for your personal data to be erased from the records held by organizations. However this is a qualified right; it is not absolute, and may only apply in certain circumstances.
When may the right to erasure apply?
- When the personal data is no longer necessary for the purpose for which it was originally collected or processed for.
- If consent was the lawful basis for processing personal data and that consent has been withdrawn. Calling Home relies on consent to process personal data in very few circumstances.
- The Company is relying on legitimate interests as a legal basis for processing personal data and an individual has exercised the right to object and it has been determined that the Company has no overriding legitimate grounds to refuse that request.
- Personal data are being processed for direct marketing purposes e.g. a person’s name and email address, and the individual objects to that processing.
- There is legislation that requires that personal data are to be destroyed.
Right to Portability: Individuals have the right to get some of their personal data from an organization in a way that is accessible and machine-readable, for example as a csv file. Associated with this, individuals also have the right to ask an organization to transfer their personal data to another organization.
However, the right to portability:
- only applies to personal data which a person has directly given to Calling Home in electronic form; and
- onward transfer will only be available where this is “technically feasible”.
Right to Rectification: If personal data is inaccurate, out of date, or incomplete, individuals have the right to correct, update or complete that data. Collectively this is referred to as the right to rectification. Rectification may involve filling the gaps i.e. to have to have incomplete personal data completed – although this will depend on the purposes for the processing. This may involve adding a supplementary statement to the incomplete data to highlight any inaccuracy or claim thereof.
This right only applies to an individual’s own personal data; a person cannot seek the rectification of another person’s information.
Notification of data breaches: Upon discovery of a data breach, we will investigate the incident and report it to the UK’s data protection regulator and yourself, if we deem it appropriate to do so.
Complaints: You have the right, at any time, to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), the UK supervisory authority for data protection issues (www.ico.org.uk). We would, however, appreciate the chance to deal with your concerns before you approach the ICO so please contact us in the first instance using the details below. Please provide us with as much information as you can about the alleged breach. We will promptly investigate your complaint and respond to you, in writing, setting out the outcome of our investigation and the steps we will take to deal with your complaint.

Additional scope of personal information
In accordance with PIPEDA, we broaden our definition of personal information to include any information about an individual, such as financial information, information about your appearance, your views and opinion (such as those expressed online or through a survey), opinions held about you by others, and any personal correspondences you may have with us. While this information may not directly identify you, be aware that it may be combined with other information to do so.
As PIPEDA refers to personal information using the term Personally Identifying Information (PII), any references to personal information and PII in this privacy policy, and in official communications from Calling Home, are intended as equivalent to one another in every way, shape and form.
Valid Consent
Where you give us consent to collect and use your personal information for a specific purpose. You may withdraw your consent at any time using the facilities we provide; however this will not affect any use of your information that has already taken place. When you contact us, we assume your consent based on your positive action of contact, therefore you consent to your name and email address being used so we can respond to your enquiry. Under PIPEDA, consent is only valid if it is reasonable to expect that an individual to whom the organization's activities are directed would understand the nature, purpose, and consequences of the collection, use, or disclosure of the personal information to which they are consenting.
Where you agree to receive marketing communications from us, we will do so based solely on your indication of consent or until you instruct us not to, which you can do at any time.
While you may request that we delete your contact details at any time, we cannot recall any email we have already sent. If you have any further enquiries about how to withdraw your consent, please feel free to enquire using the details provided in the Contact Us section of this privacy policy.
International Transfers of Information
While Calling Home endeavors to keep, store and handle customer data within locations in Canada, it may use agents or service providers located in the United States (U.S.), European Economic Area (EEA) or United Kingdom (UK) to collect, use, retain and process personal information as part of providing services to you. While we use all reasonable efforts to ensure that personal information receives the same level of security in any other jurisdiction as it would in Canada, please be aware that privacy protections under U.S. laws may not be the same adequacy.
Customer Data Rights
Although PIPEDA does not contain an extensive set of consumer rights, it does grant consumers the right to:
- Access the personal information organizations hold about them;
- Correct any inaccurate or outdated personal information the organization hold about them (or, if this is not possible, delete the inaccurate personal information)
- Withdraw consent for any activities for which they have consented (e.g. direct marketing or cookies

Subject to some restrictions, you can, at any time, refuse to consent, or continue to consent to the collection, use or disclosure of their personal information by notifying us using the email address below in the ‘Contact Us’ section. Withdrawal of consent may impact our ability to provide or continue to provide services.
Customers cannot refuse collection, use and disclosure of their personal information if such information is required to:

- fulfill the terms of any contractual agreement; and
- be collected, used or disclosed as required by any regulators including self regulatory organizations

Right of Access under PIPEDA
PIPEDA gives you a general right to access the PII held by businesses subject to this law. Under PIPEDA, you need to make your access request in writing and pay a minimal fee of $30.00.
If any organizational fees seem unjust, you have the right to complain about this. We retain the right to decide how we disclose the copies of your PII to you. We will take all necessary measures to fulfill your request in 30 days from receipt, otherwise we must inform you of our inability to do so before the 30-day timeframe if:
- meeting the time limit would unreasonably interfere with our business activities; or
- the time required to undertake consultations necessary to respond to the request would make it impractical to meet the time limit.
We can also extend the time limit for the length of time required to convert the personal information into an alternative format. In these circumstances, we will advise you of the delay within the first 30 days and explain the reason for it.
Right of rectification under PIPEDA
You may request a correction to any factual errors or omissions within your PII. We would ask you to provide some evidence to back up your claim. Under PIPEDA, an organization must amend the information, as required, if you successfully demonstrate that it’s incomplete or inaccurate.
You may contact us at any time, using the information provided in the Contact Us section of this privacy policy if you believe your PII on our systems is incorrect or incomplete.
If we cannot agree on changing the information, you have the right to have your concerns recorded with the Office of the Privacy Commission of Canada.
