Privacy Policy |
| L'Arche Liverpool 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. |
| Why Do We Need
Personal Information? |
| L'Arche Liverpool provides services
and products to a wide range of individuals. In doing so, we need
to collect personal information for various reasons including: understanding
your needs, meeting legal, regulatory and contractual requirements,
to facilitate the delivery of products and services, maintaining
your contact information, and providing materials concerning our
services and developments. We do not disclose or sell personal information
to third parties unless requested by law. |
| What personal
information do we collect? |
| Personal information is any information about
an individual. This could include information such as your name,
address, order identification numbers, credit card information, and
any other information relevant to delivery of our products or services. |
| How do we
collect your personal information on the web site? |
| We collect personal information through various
forms and applications on the 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 |
| 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. |
| Disclosure
of your Personal Information |
| 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. |
| Personal Information
Security |
| L'Arche Liverpool 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 password and security policies. |
| Access to Personal
Information |
| 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 L'Arche Liverpool
must deny a request for information, a explanation will be provided. |
| Changes to the
L'Arche Liverpool Privacy Policy |
| L'Arche Liverpool regularly reviews all of
its policies and procedures and may change the Privacy Policy from
time to time. |

records. |
