Disclosure of your Personal Information
The Company does not disclose personal information for purposes other than those for which it was collected, except with the consent of the individual or as required or permitted by law, and limits disclosure and access to personal information to those who need it for the purposes identified.
Within the Company, access to personal information is limited to those employees who need the information to perform their duties. In addition, the Company will only disclose personal information to third parties for the purposes identified or implied in this Policy or at the time of collection, with your express consent or as otherwise required or permitted by law.

- To fulfil any of the purposes identified in this Policy and any other purposes identified by the Company at or before the time the information is collected.
The Company will ensure that all third parties with whom it does business and to whom it provides personal or confidential information also guarantee, in at least an equivalent manner to the Company, the confidentiality, security and integrity of the information they hold on behalf of the Company.
Please also note that personal information collected by the Company may travel through servers outside of Canada, be transmitted to a destination outside of Canada and be stored there. This information may also be processed by persons located outside of Canada who work for the Company, its partners or suppliers. When personal information is processed in another country, it may be made available to the government of that country or its agencies pursuant to a lawful order made in that country.
Protection
The Company undertakes to apply physical, technological and administrative security measures to maintain the confidentiality, integrity and availability of personal information for which the Company is responsible, in order to protect it from loss or theft and from unauthorised access, copying, use or modification.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no method of electronic data transmission or storage is infallible. The Company cannot guarantee the security of information transmitted or stored through the Website and therefore cannot guarantee the absence of any breach of confidentiality, integrity or availability of data.
