Privacy Policy

On April 2000, Bill C-6, the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) became law in Canada, affecting all private sector organizations. The intention of this legislation is to protect an individual’s privacy, guarding against misuse and unwanted dissemination of their personal information by any organization.

I am committed to preserving my client’s privacy regarding their personal information and how it is collected, used and subsequently safeguarded. I acknowledge that in the course of a business relationship with a client, I will be required to collect personal information about that client. This may range from basic information like an individual’s name, address, telephone number, date of birth and marital status, to information such as credit history, insurance claims history, employment information, and even medical information. This information is collected from sources that can include the individual him/herself, insurance companies, credit organizations, medical and financial institutions.

I further realize that in the course of our business relationships, I may be required to share a client’s personal information with other organizations. These other parties commonly include insurance companies, medical professionals and financial institutions.

My clients’ awareness of, and consent to my collection and use of their personal information is very important to me. I rely on a client’s actions as indications of consent or withdrawal of consent to my existing and future personal information practices: a voluntary provision of this personal information to me, expressed consent contained in a written, verbal or any other appropriate communication, or an appropriate notification to me withdrawing this consent.

Bill C-6 prohibits anyone from making use of a person’s information without consent, and further states that any personal information collected may only be used for the stated reason for which it was collected.

Further information about Bill C-6, and how this federal legislation governs the use of information, as well as how this legislation is enforced, please visit the website for the Privacy Commissioner.

I guarantee that any individual’s information that is collected, used and disclosed in the course of serving that person’s needs will be done in such a method that preserves that individual’s privacy, and will safeguard the security of such personal information in an appropriate manner.

If you have any questions regarding my privacy guidelines, please contact me at matt@powervestfinancial.com or (905)-478-4561 or toll free (416) 948-3685.
