We are committed to keeping your personally identifiable information accurate, confidential, and secure (“Personal Information”). Our privacy statement governs our actions regarding collecting, using, and disclosing Personal Information as part of this commitment. Our privacy policies are based on the values established by the Canadian Standards Association’s Model Code for the Protection of Personal Information and the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act of Canada.
We value your privacy, so we only collect personal information for the following purposes:
We collect, use, and disclose Personal Information to provide you with the product or service you requested and to offer you additional products and services we believe you might be interested in. The purposes for which we collect Personal Information will be identified prior to collection. In some cases, the purposes for collecting information are apparent, and consent is implied, such as when your name, address, and payment information are requested as part of the order process.
Unless required or permitted by law, knowledge, and consent are required for the collection, use, or disclosure of Personal Information. It is always your choice whether or not to provide us with your Personal Information. Nevertheless, if you choose not to provide certain information, we may be unable to provide you with our products or services. Therefore, we will not require you to consent to collecting, using, or disclosing information as a condition of supplying a product or service unless necessary.
We will only collect Personal Information that is required for our purposes. We may collect Personal Information from you in person, over the phone, or by corresponding with you via mail, facsimile, or the Internet with your permission.
Unless you have otherwise consented, or when required or permitted by law, personal information may only be used or disclosed for the purpose for which it was collected. Personal data will be retained only for the time necessary to fulfill the purpose for which it was collected or as required by law.
Personal information will be kept as accurate, complete, and up-to-date as is required to fulfill the purposes for which it will be used.
Personal information will be safeguarded by security safeguards appropriate to the information’s sensitivity level. In addition, we take all reasonable steps to protect your Personal Information against loss, unauthorized use, access, or disclosure.
You will be informed of the existence, use, and disclosure of your Personal Information upon request, and you will have access to it. You can check the accuracy and completeness of your Personal Information and, if necessary, request that it be amended. However, we will not disclose certain information to you under certain legal circumstances. For example, we may not disclose information about you if other people are mentioned or if there are legal, security, or commercial proprietary constraints.
