Disclaimer Regarding Participation in Rare Disease Registries

Canadian PKU and Allied Disorders (CanPKU+) is proud to collaborate with various rare disease registries — including, but not limited to, the PKU Registry hosted by NPKUA — to support advancements in research and improve understanding of rare disorders.

However, we want to ensure that our community is fully informed. Please be aware that the data you choose to provide to these registries is not stored within Canadian data centres. Information submitted may be stored in facilities located outside of Canada, such as the United States, and may therefore be subject to foreign legislation, including the USA PATRIOT Act and other applicable laws.

We strongly advise our Canadian participants never to share sensitive personal information such as banking details, Social Insurance Numbers (SIN), or any similar sensitive identifiers when engaging with these registries.

CanPKU+ fully supports the responsible sharing of information to advance rare disease research and recognizes the significant value these registries bring to the community and to scientific progress. At the same time, we are committed to keeping our community informed and empowered to make the best choices about their personal data.
