This enables us to continually update and refine the site. If you use any forms on the website to send an email to us, a record will also be made of any personal information that you provide us.
We may collect, hold, use and disclose the information collected to compile statistical data; to maintain our database; develop/improve our website; respond to any email enquiries; notify you of any upcoming marketing, training or other events; provide you with publications; manage quality control; manage systems administration; attend to compliance issues; provide you or your organization with advice; determine suitability for employment and for other marketing purposes.
We will not use or disclose your personal information for any other purpose which is not related (or in the case of sensitive information, directly related) to the above purposes without your consent, unless otherwise authorized, required or permitted under the laws of Canada.
We may transfer your personal information to third party service providers for processing to carry out the same purposes noted above. Such third parties may be located outside of Canada, in which case your personal information may be processed in a foreign country and may be accessible to law enforcement and national security authorities of that jurisdiction. We will only transfer your personal information to third parties if we are satisfied that the third party has policies and processes in place, including training for its staff and effective security measures, to ensure that the information in its care is properly safeguarded at all times.
If you no longer wish to receive information about our services, please send an email to our Compliance Manager (compliance@peninsula-ca.com) advising that you do not wish to receive further information.
Will we disclose your data?
We may disclose your personal information on a confidential basis to external service providers so that they can provide services such as financial or administrative services about the operation of our business; and to any person (where necessary) in connection with their services, such as law enforcement, regulatory authorities, partners or advisors; or to our affiliated companies within the Peninsula Group.
We may disclose your personal information in connection with any reorganization, restructuring, merger or sale, or other transfer of assets, provided that the receiving party agrees to respect such information in a manner that is consistent with this privacy policy.
If we engage external service providers, we will take reasonable steps to ensure those entities comply with their obligations under the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) when they handle your personal information. We will also ensure external service providers are only authorized to use personal information for the limited purposes specified in this privacy policy.
