OUR POLICY RESPECTING YOUR PRIVACY AND THE PROTECTION OF PERSONAL INFORMATION
Our ongoing commitment to protect the privacy and confidentiality of your personal information is addressed in this Privacy Policy. Our policy complies with the requirements of the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act of Canada and the Canadian Standards Association Model Code for the Protection of Personal Information.
The Privacy Policy explains our commitment to respect and protect your personal information. We want you to know why we need your personal information, how the confidentiality of this information is protected, and how you can find out what information concerning you is recorded.
We are responsible for your personal information under its control. We have appointed a Chief Privacy Officer who is accountable for our compliance to this Privacy Policy.
We will identify the purposes for which personal information is collected by us at or before the time the information is collected.
Personal information is the information that relates to you, that identifies you as a customer of Delco Automation, and that allows us to provide services and information directly to you. We will advise you when and why a file containing personal information is opened. We ask you for your personal information so that we can:
Of course, you can choose not to provide us with some or all of your personal information. However, this choice may not enable us to provide you with the product, service, or information that you requested or that could be offered to you.
Your knowledge and consent are required for the collection, use, or disclosure of your personal information. We only collect, use, or disclose personal information for purposes we believe you would consider appropriate under the circumstances. When you become a customer of ours, we may use your name and address for general mailing purposes. We believe you would also expect us to contact you to advise you of new and existing services that may be of interest to you. From time to time, we will inform you of such services via direct marketing. Direct marketing material is usually delivered to you by mail, telephone or electronic means. You may choose not to receive these offers and have your name deleted from our direct marketing lists.
The names, addresses and telephone numbers of our customers may be transmitted to a trusted third-party mailing service in order to inform you of products and services that we offer (or that we and our partners jointly offer) and that we believe may interest you. Or depending of the circumstances, we may require our partners to have a policy in place that complies with the requirements of applicable federal or provincial privacy legislation in Canada and the Canadian Standards Association Model Code for the Protection of Personal Information.
Except as set out in this policy, or as required by law, we do not sell or disclose any of your personal information to any other organization and we will not transmit personal information to third parties without first obtaining your written consent to do so. We may, however, disclose information in the following cases:
We only collect the information that we need in order to deliver services and information to you. We do not use techniques to collect personal information about you without your knowledge.
We do not use or disclose your personal information for any purposes other than those for which it was collected, except with your consent or as required by law.
Your personal information is retained only as long as necessary for the fulfillment of those purposes. We do not keep your personal information if it is no longer needed for the purposes required or as required by law.
Your personal information is kept as accurate, complete, and up-to-date as is necessary for the purposes for which it is to be used.
