PRIVACY POLICY
1. Introduction
Corporate Visual Canada respects the privacy of every
individual who visits the Corporate Visual Canada web
site. Accordingly, this privacy statement has been developed
to inform you about Corporate Visual Canada's information
collection, usage and disclosure practices.
2. Anonymous vs. Personally Identifiable
Information
Anonymous Information refers to information that cannot
be tied back to a specific individual. Personally
Identifiable Information refers to information that
tells Corporate Visual Canada who you are, such as
your name, phone number, mailing address or e-mail
address.
3. General Principles
Corporate Visual Canada will not collect, use or disclose
to a third party your Personally Identifiable Information
without your consent, except where (a) such information
could contribute to a legal investigation, or (b)
such information could aid in an emergency where peoples
lives and safety may be at stake. There may be circumstances
where Corporate Visual Canada infers that you have
given the necessary consent, but in those circumstances
Corporate Visual Canada will only collect, use and
disclose your Personally Identifiable Information
for the purposes for which such information was provided.
For example, where you give Corporate Visual Canada
your Personally Identifiable Information so an account
may be opened in your name, Corporate Visual Canada
will infer that you have consented to the collection,
use and disclosure of your Personally Identifiable
Information for the purpose of opening your account,
but not for any other purposes or uses.
Part of your use of this web site will include the
opportunity to electronically submit Personally Identifiable
Information to Corporate Visual Canada. Although these
opportunities are provided for you as part of Corporate
Visual Canada's efforts to serve you better, you are
never obliged to give away your Personally Identifiable
Information. If you do decide to provide Personally
Identifiable Information, it will be encrypted using
128 bit technology so that it will arrive unread and
unaltered at Corporate Visual Canada's servers. Upon
receipt of your Personally Identifiable Information,
Corporate Visual Canada will take steps to ensure
that it is appropriately safeguarded with password
protection.
