Privacy Commitment
In general, you can visit Insurance-Canada.ca online without telling us who you are or revealing any information about yourself. There are times, however, when we may need information from you, such as your name and address. It is our intent to let you know before we collect personal information from you online.
If you choose to provide us with personal information that we or our business partners may need – to correspond with you, process an order, or provide you with a subscription, for example – it is our intent to let you know how we will use such information.
The information you submit during online registration for an Insurance-Canada.ca event is used to process registrations and payments and to help us organize our relationships with those who attend our events. If you tell us that you do not wish to have this information used as a basis for further contact with you, we will respect your wishes.
We do keep track of the domains from which people visit us; we analyze this data for trends and statistics, and then we discard it.
Information Security and Accuracy
We intend to protect the quality and integrity of your personally identifiable information. We have implemented appropriate technical and managerial procedures to maintain information that is accurate, current, and complete. We will make a sincere effort to respond to your requests to correct personal information inaccuracies in a timely manner.
