Introduction

Protecting privacy and confidentiality of information is fundamental to our overall operation and we take it very seriously. We have created this private statement to demonstrate our commitment to protecting the privacy of our customers, partners, potential customers, and website visitors.

Privacy statement

This policy speaks to our commitment with which we collect, use, maintain, and disclose information collected from users of our website. Personal information is information about an identifiable individual, excluding business contact information. The following explains how AccessibilityConsulting.ca handles personal information. We reserve the right to change this policy and it may be updated periodically. Theses changes may affect our use of your personal information. Accordingly, please check for changes regularly.

Accountability

AccessibilityConsulting.ca is accountable for all personal information under its control. Please contact our privacy officer at info@AccessibilityConsulting.ca for more information.

Purpose of Personal information

The purpose for which AccessibilityConsulting.ca collects personal information will be identified at or before the time the information is collected. We may collect personal information for the purposes of:

  • Purchasing services from AccessibilityConsulting.ca.
  • Qualifying prospective clients.
  • Supporting existing clients to serve them better.
  • Processing and administering the above or other purposes as necessary.

Consent

AccessibilityConsulting.ca seeks consent for all personal information we collect, use, and disclose through information provided to individuals prior to collection, or at the time of collection.

If you have voluntarily provided information, you have consented to the collection, use and disclosure of your personally identifiable information as described in this privacy policy. AccessibilityConsulting.ca will not use personal information for any purpose other than that for which you consented. Should AccessibilityConsulting.ca require personal information for a new purpose, we will contact you to seek consent for that new use.

Third Party Websites

You may find content on our website that links to the sites and services of our partners, suppliers, advertisers, sponsors, licensors and other third parties. We do not control the content or links that appear on these sites and are not responsible for the practices employed by websites or services linked to or from our services. In addition, these sites or services, including their content and links, may be constantly changing. These sites and services may have their own privacy policies, terms of use and customer service policies. Use of third-party sites and services, including websites which have a link to our site, is subject to that third-party’s own terms and policies.

Limits for Collecting, Using, Disclosing and Keeping Personal Information

AccessibilityConsulting.ca does not collect, use, or disclose personal information of individuals except when individuals give consent and provide the information on a voluntary basis. There may be occasions where more specific personal information is necessary for us to proceed with a request for information or provide you with a product or service. In such cases, we will provide you with a description on the information we need. In all cases, AccessibilityConsulting.ca limits the amount and type of information collected to only the personal information that is required to provide the individual with the requested information, product, or service. We collect only information that is voluntarily provided by you and undertake that such information will be kept strictly confidential.

We retain personal information only as long as is necessary to provide the individual with the requested product, service or information and delete or destroy this information after that time. In some cases, however, legal reporting and retention requirements necessitate that AccessibilityConsulting.ca retain information for a specific period not longer than two years.

AccessibilityConsulting.ca does not sell or trade any personal information with third parties. AccessibilityConsulting.ca may transfer information to service providers where information processing is outsourced by AccessibilityConsulting.ca during its normal business practices. Where personal information is transferred to a service provider for processing, we require the service provider to respect this Privacy Policy and we will restrict them from using or disclosing personal information transferred to them for any purpose other than the provision of services to us.

Any personal information that AccessibilityConsulting.ca retains is kept in such a manner as to always ensure its security and confidentiality.

Safeguarding Personal Information 

AccessibilityConsulting.ca respects the privacy of our customers, partners, potential customers and website visitors and we will protect that privacy as vigorously as possible. We store personal information in electronic and physical files that are secure. Our security measures include secure locks on filing cabinets, and using industry safety techniques and restricted access to records and to equipment, including computers.

Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us or receive from us electronically. This is especially true for information you transmit to us via e-mail. We have no way of protecting that information until it reaches us. Once we receive your transmission, we make our best efforts to ensure its security on our servers.

Accuracy of and Access to Personal Information Collected

AccessibilityConsulting.ca makes every effort to keep personal information as accurate, complete, current, and relevant as necessary for the identified purposes. AccessibilityConsulting.ca does not routinely update personal information.

AccessibilityConsulting.ca makes readily available to individuals our Privacy Policy and related procedures for managing personal information. We provide access to the Privacy Policy and related procedures to individuals on AccessibilityConsulting.ca website and in written form. Any questions about the handling of personal information by AccessibilityConsulting.ca can be raised with our privacy officer.

At the written request of an individual, he or she may view or edit their personal information as collected by AccessibilityConsulting.ca. AccessibilityConsulting.ca will inform them of what it is being used for and, in cases where it has been disclosed, to whom it has been disclosed.

To make a request, please send a letter or email at the address indicated above. In your request, please include the following information: Name, contact details, the nature of your request, including whether you wish to view and/or edit information or inquire regarding use and/or disclosure.

AccessibilityConsulting.ca will reply to your request in no later than thirty days after receipt of the request, or if we are not able to respond by this period, we will send you a notice of extension. If we are not able to disclose all the personal information, we hold on you, we will give you a reason for our inability to do so, unless prohibited by law.
