The collection, use, and disclosure of your personal information depend on what you want from us or how you do business with us. We normally collect personal information directly from you. We may collect your information from others with your consent or as authorized by law.
We inform you before or at the time of collecting personal information, of the purposes for which we are collecting the information. The only time we don’t provide this notification is when you volunteer information for an obvious purpose.
When you provide your personal information to us through any of the previously mentioned sources, you do so with the understanding that your personal information may be used or disclosed for the identified purposes.
Your consent is required before we will collect, use or disclose your personal information, except in special circumstances. These special circumstances may include times when your consent is deemed by law or not required by law. These circumstances may include instances during an investigation, an investigation by the police, where your personal information is publicly available or in situations otherwise permitted by the law.
When collecting personal information about you from third parties for which you have provided us with your consent, we will ensure that the third party is notified of your consent to us collecting your personal information
We accept any of the following as your consent for our existing use or future collection, use and disclosure of your personal information for identified purposes:
your receipt of this Policy, unless you advise us either orally or in writing, that you do not agree with the terms stated in this Policy, and that you wish to opt out of all or portions of it;
your express written or oral consent as obtained through an application process; or
your consent as provided by your authorized representative, such as a legal guardian or power of attorney
if you voluntarily provide personal information either orally or in writing if it is reasonable that a person would voluntarily provide that information
if we proceed with a business transaction such as the purchase, sale, lease, transfer, merger or amalgamation or any other type of acquisition, or disposal of, or taking of an ownership interest in another organization, your personal information may be shared with such prospective party to complete the business transaction.
You can say no or you can withdraw your consent
You may withdraw your consent at any time with notice, subject to legal and contractual restrictions. If the withdrawal of consent prevents us from executing our obligations contractually, your consent may not be withdrawn unless it is agreed to by us. You should understand that by withdrawing your consent it may affect our ability to continue to provide you with products or services that you have or would like to receive.
To withdraw your consent, contact our Privacy Policy Officer at the address or telephone number listed in this policy. Unless we hear from you otherwise, you are giving us your consent for the collection, use and disclosure of your personal information as provided in this Policy for the identified purposes.
Your personal information is kept only as long as we need it to effectively provide products and services to you and for a reasonable period of time thereafter in case we need to meet any legal, statutory or business purposes.
Whether in electronic or hard copy format, we maintain strict security systems to protect your personal information in our custody or under our control from unauthorized access, collection, use, disclosure, copying, modification, or disposal. When we no longer need your personal information, we will take as much care to destroy it appropriately as we do when storing it.
If your personal information is transferred to a third party, we expect the third party to protect your personal information in a manner consistent with our Policy or as required by law
You have a right to access your personal information that is in our custody and control. You also have a right to know which third parties have received your personal information from us.
You can access your personal information by making a request in writing to our Privacy Policy Officer stating specifically and in detail which personal information you are requesting. We will try to respond to such requests as soon as possible and if there is a delay, we will let you know. We may assess a fee for getting your personal information, but only after first advising you of the approximate cost. If you are our employee no fees are charged to retrieve personal employee information.

· granting access would reveal sensitive or confidential information
· doing so would reasonably be expected to threaten the life or security of another individual
· the information was collected for purposes related to an investigation or legal proceedings
· the information would reveal the identity of an individual who has provided an opinion about another individual and the individual providing the opinion does not consent to the disclosure of his or her identity

· the information would likely reveal personal information about another individual
We strive to ensure that the personal information we have on you is accurate and up-to-date as necessary for the identified purposes for which it is to be used. If any of your personal information needs to be updated or amended, we will make every effort to update the records. We shall make corrections to personal information that is materially inaccurate or incomplete and, where appropriate, we shall endeavor to advise third parties that have access to the personal information in question.
