At InterPresence
the protection of your personal information is a top priority. InterPresence's
Policy regarding the collection, use and disclosure, if any, of personal
information can be broken down into the 10 principles covered in Canada's
Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act ("PIPEDA").
1. Accountability
InterPresence is responsible for personal information
under its control.
We have designated a Privacy Officer who is accountable
for our compliance with this Policy and all applicable privacy laws.
All InterPresence employees are responsible for
day-to-day compliance.
When we use trusted third parties to act on our
behalf by performing such functions as fulfilling orders, delivering
packages, processing credit card payments or providing customer service,
appropriate means are used to ensure compliance by such third parties
with this Policy and all applicable privacy laws.
2. Identifying Purposes
Unless the purpose is self-evident due to the nature
of the transaction in question, InterPresence will identify the purposes
for which personal information is collected at or before the time
the information is collected.
The proposed purposes will be described in a reasonably
understandable manner.
An example of a self-evident purpose is requesting
the name and address of the person placing an order in order to ensure
proper delivery.
3. Consent
We will collect, use or disclose your personal
information only with your knowledge and consent, except where required
or permitted by law.
InterPresence will not make your consent a requirement
to the supply of a product or a service other than required to be
able to supply the product or service.
Consent can be express or, in some circumstances,
implied, and given in writing, by using or not using a check-off box,
electronically, orally (in person or by telephone), or by your conduct,
such as use of a product or service.
In determining the type of consent to obtain, InterPresence will consider all relevant factors, including the sensitivity
of the information and your reasonable expectations.
You may withdraw your consent at any time, on reasonable
notice, subject to legal or contractual restrictions. InterPresence
will inform you of the implications of doing so.
4. Limiting Collection
The collection of personal information by InterPresence will be limited to what is necessary for the purposes which
it identifies.
We will collect personal information by fair and
lawfow if Nav4 resized
if (init==true) with (navigator) {if ((appName=="Netscape")&&(parseInt(appVersion)==4)) {
document.MM_pgW=innerWidth; document.MM_pgH=innerHeight; onresize=MM_reloadPage; }}
else if (innerWidth!=document.MM_pgW || innerHeight!=document.MM_pgH) location.reload();
}
MM_reloadPage(true);
//-->
5. Limiting Use, Disclosure, and Retention
Personal information will not be used or disclosed
for purposes other than those for which it was collected, except with
your consent or as required or permitted by law.
It will be retained only as long as necessary for
these purposes or as required by law.
6. Accuracy
We will keep your personal information as accurate,
complete and up-to-date as necessary for the purposes for which it
is to be used.
7. Safeguards
InterPresence will protect personal information
by security safeguards appropriate to the sensitivity of the information,
including through the use of the following measures: physical (e.g.,
locked filing cabinets, restricted access, appropriate disposal of
personal information), organizational (e.g., security clearances,
access only on a "need to know" basis), technological (e.g., passwords,
encryption) and training of employees.
8. Openness
Information about our policies and practices relating
to the management of personal information will be made readily available
to individuals.
9. Individual Access
Upon request, InterPresence will inform you of the
existence, use and disclosure of personal information relating to
you, and give you access to that information. You have the right to
challenge the accuracy and completeness of your information and have
it amended as appropriate.
However, in certain circumstances permitted by
law, this information will not be disclosed to you. Some examples
of these circumstances are information that contains references to
other individuals, that cannot be disclosed for legal, security or
commercial proprietary reasons, or that is subject to solicitor-client
or litigation privilege.
