Chiefs of Ontario is committed
to the privacy of your personal information. Beginning on January
1, 2004, all businesses must comply with the Personal Information
Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA). The Act gives
individuals certain rights concerning the privacy of their personal
information.
Chiefs of Ontario provides services and information to a wide
range of individuals. In doing so, we may need to collect personal information
for various reasons including: understanding your needs, meeting legal, regulatory
and contractual requirements, to facilitate the delivery of services and information,
to maintain your contact information, and to provide information about our services
and information. We do not disclose or sell personal information to third parties. |

Personal Information
Personal information is any information about an individual.
This could include information such as your name, address, social
insurance number, or any information relevant to delivery of
our services and information.
Collection of your personal information on our web site
We collect personal information through various forms and applications on our
web site. The information is then stored in secure databases on our Internet
servers or those of third parties who may be contracted to provide these services.
Online applications that request personal information are typically identified
on the web site. |

Consent and Disclosure
In most cases, you will be asked for your consent if we collect,
use, or disclose personal information. Permission may be expressed
in writing or implied and may be given to us verbally, electronically,
or through your authorized representative. Individuals may withdraw
permission to collect, use and disclose their personal information
at any time, subject to legal and contractual restrictions and
reasonable notice. Sometimes consent is implied through conduct
with us.
Under certain circumstances, we may disclose personal information such as when
required or authorized by law or ethical reasons, when an individual has consented
to the disclosure, where it is necessary to establish or collect fees, or if
we engage a third party to provide administrative services to us (like Internet
or other computer services) and the third party is bound by privacy obligations. |

Security and Access
Chiefs of Ontario takes all reasonable
precautions to ensure that personal information is kept safe
from unauthorized access, modification or disclosure. Among
the steps taken to protect personal information are the use
of secure Internet servers, restricted file access, deploying
technological safeguards like security software and firewalls,
and internal.
Individuals may ask for access to any personal information we hold about them.
Summary information is available on request. More detailed requests which require
retrieval costs may be subject to our normal professional service fees.
An individual's right to access their personal information is not absolute.
We may deny access when denial of access is required or authorized by law,
information relates to existing or anticipated legal proceedings, granting
access would have an unreasonable impact on other people's privacy, to protect
our company's rights and property or if the request is frivolous. Certain ethical,
procedural and confidentiality rules may prevent access in certain circumstances.
If Chiefs of Ontario must deny a request for information,
an explanation will be provided. |
