Privacy Policy

Privacy of personal information is an important principle to me. I am committed to collecting and using personal information responsibly and only to the extent necessary for providing data on website usage. I endeavour to be open and transparent as to how we handle personal information. This document describes my privacy policies.

What is Considered Personal Information?

Personal information is information about an identifiable individual. Personal information includes information that relates to their personal characteristics (e.g., gender, age, income, ethnic background, family status). Your privacy is very important to us and we are committed to safeguarding your information. I do not, and will not, sell or rent your personal information to other organizations, associations, or businesses.

Release Without Consent

In most cases, I will not release your information without your consent. However, I must provide information in response to a valid demand, search warrant, subpoena or court order based upon a request by a government institution or where otherwise required by law.

Protecting Personal Information

I understand the importance of protecting personal information. For that reason, I have taken the following steps:

  • sensitive paper information is either under supervision or in a secured location;
  • electronic data is protected by the use of passwords, firewalls and encryption methods; and

Retention and Destruction of Personal Information

I need to retain personal information for some time to ensure that I can answer any questions you might have about the services provided and for our own accountability to external regulatory bodies. I keep your personal information for an appropriate period to meet legislative requirements and for historical archival needs.
