We have adopted the 10 privacy principles in the code developed by the Canadian Standards Association as set out in the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (“PIPEDA”), as follows:

1. Accountability We will maintain and protect all personal information we collect and we will tell you how we intend to use it.

3. Consent We will obtain your consent to the collection and use of your personal information, either expressly, or, where appropriate, implied.
4. Limiting Collection Personal information collected shall be limited to that which is necessary, in our opinion, for the purposes identified in our Privacy Policy or with your consent.
5. Limiting Use Disclosure and Retention Personal information should only be used or disclosed for the purposes for which it was collected as consented by an individual, or when it is required or permitted to be disclosed by law. We then give limited information, only as needed to carry out our requirements.

An individual may challenge the accuracy and completeness of their personal information and request that it be amended.
