The Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act utilizes the model code from the Canadian Standards Association(CSA). The code was developed by business, consumers, academics and government under the auspices of the Canadian Standards Association. It lists 10 principles of fair information practices, which form ground rules for the collection, use and disclosure of personal information. These principles give individuals control over how their personal information is handled in the private sector. An organization is responsible for the protection of personal information and the fair handling of it at all times, throughout the organization and in dealings with third parties. Care in collecting, using and disclosing personal information is essential to continued consumer confidence and good will. OPHbeekeepingsupplies.com takes our Privacy code seriously, which is based on the below 10 principles:
1. Accountability
Patricksbarbershop.ca is responsible for information under our control. We have assigned an individual who is accountable for our organization’s compliance to the Privacy Principles set out by the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act.
2. Identifying purposes
Whenever we collect information from a customer or potential customer we identify the purpose for which the information will be used.
3. Consent
Consent and knowledge of the individual is required before we collect or disclose any personal information, except in cases where it is inappropriate.
4. Limiting collection
We only collect information that is necessary for the purpose identified by our organization.
5. Limiting use, disclosure, and retention
Just as Patricksbarbershop.ca takes steps to limit the types of information we collect from you, we carefully regulate how we handle your personal information. We do not use your information for purposes other than those to which you have consented, or as required by law (for example in a legal investigation).
Should Patricksbarbershop.ca require the services of third parties to handle your information, we will require them to adhere to privacy procedures that will keep your information confidential. These third parties will be given only the information necessary for performing their information-handling services.
Patricksbarbershop.ca does not sell or trade personal information for commercial purposes.
Patricksbarbershop.ca is committed to retaining your personal information only as long as is necessary for the purposes for which it was collected.
