We are committed to safeguarding your personally identifiable information’s accuracy, security, and protection (“Personal Information”). As part of this commitment, our privacy statement governs our actions regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of Personal Information. In addition, our privacy policies adhere to the Canadian Standards Association’s Model Code for the Protection of Personal Information and the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act.

We respect your right to privacy, so we only collect personal data for the following reasons:

Why Do We Collect Information About You?

We collect, utilize, and disclose Personal Information to provide you with the product or service you requested and offer you other products and services that we believe you may be interested in. Before collection, we will identify the purposes for which we gather Personal Information. In certain instances, the goals for collecting information are obvious, and consent is inferred, such as when your name, address, and payment information are sought throughout the order process.

Why Do We Request Consent?

Unless required or permitted by law, collection, use, or disclosure of Personal Information requires knowledge and consent. You always have the option of providing us with your Personal Information. If you opt not to share certain information, however, we may be unable to provide you with our products or services. Therefore, unless required by law, we will not require your consent to collect, use, or disclose information as a condition of providing a product or service.

Limiting Your Relationship

We shall collect just the Personal Information necessary for our objectives. With your consent, we may collect Personal Information from you in person, over the phone, or in correspondence via mail, fax, or the Internet.

Restricted Use, Disclosure, and Storage

Personal information may only be used or disclosed for the purpose it was acquired unless you have otherwise consented or unless necessary or permitted by law. Personal information will be stored for no longer than is required to accomplish the purpose for which it was acquired or as required by law.

Validity

Personal information shall be kept as accurate, comprehensive, and current as necessary for the purposes for which it will be used.

Customer Information Protection

Personal information will be protected by security measures commensurate with the level of sensitivity of the information. In addition, we take every precaution to secure your Personal Information against loss, misuse, unauthorized access, or disclosure.

Client Access

You shall have access to and be notified of the existence, usage, and disclosure of your Personal Information upon request. You may verify the correctness and completeness of your Personal Information and, if necessary, request corrections. However, we will withhold some information from you under specific legal restrictions. We may not share information about you, for instance, if other individuals are referenced or if there are legal, security, or commercially proprietary limits.
