Ultimate Auto Protection Inc’s privacy code

The Ultimate Auto Protection Inc Privacy Code is a formal statement of the principles and guidelines concerning the requirements for the protection of personal information provided to Ultimate Auto Protection Inc by its customers and employees. Ultimate Auto Protection Inc strives to provide its customers with the best service possible. This means handling your personal information fairly and honestly.

The purpose of the Ultimate Auto Protection Inc Code is to provide responsible and transparent practices in its management of personal information in keeping with applicable legislation. It tells you how we protect your privacy and the confidentiality of your personal information.

Personal information

Personal Information is any piece of information, either factual or subjective, about an identifiable individual. Personal Information does not include the name, title, business address or telephone number of an employee of an organization.

The 10 principles of privacy

The following principles, developed by the Canadian Standards Association, form the basis of Ultimate Auto Protection Inc’s fair information practices and outline Ultimate Auto Protection Inc’s commitment to protecting your privacy.

Accountability

Every Ultimate Auto Protection Inc employee is responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of all information to which they have access. Ultimate Auto Protection employees are informed about the importance of privacy and receive ongoing updates on privacy related policies.

In addition to establishing the Privacy Code, we have appointed a Chief Privacy Officer who is responsible for overseeing the personal information handling practices at Ultimate Auto Protection Inc and ensuring we are in compliance with our Privacy Code and related policies.

Identifying purposes: why we collect information

Should Ultimate Auto Protection need to collect personal information from you, Ultimate Auto Protection will identify the purpose for the collection at or before the time Ultimate Auto Protection collects it. Ultimate Auto Protection will only collect the information needed to fulfill the purpose we have identified and for no other purpose. If Ultimate Auto Protection wishes to use your information for any other purpose we will obtain your consent.

Ultimate Auto Protection asks for your personal information in order to meet your service and product needs, as well as to establish a lasting relationship with you as your quality Ultimate Auto Protection Inc service and product provider.

The information Ultimate Auto Protection asks for depends on which services you require from Ultimate Auto Protection Inc. For example, we may request your personal information to:

  • send you products or information that you have requested
  • provide you with a specified service
  • better understand your needs
  • provide you with information and offers on our products and services
  • comply with law

Consent

Ultimate Auto Protection Inc seeks your consent to collect, use or disclose your personal information at the time of collection or in advance. Ultimate Auto Protection has taken steps to ensure that our language is clear and understandable so that you know why we are collecting your information and how we will use it. Please note that under certain legal and medical circumstances it may be impossible or impractical to obtain an individual’s consent.

Consent may be expressed in writing or it may be implied in the circumstances. In addition to writing, your consent may also be expressed verbally or electronically.

In deciding what form of consent is appropriate, Ultimate Auto Protection will consider the type of personal information Ultimate Auto Protection needs, its use, any necessary disclosures, the type of customer contact that is involved and applicable legislation.

In general, you can choose not to provide Ultimate Auto Protection with some or all of your personal information at any time. However, should you make this choice Ultimate Auto Protection may not be able to provide you with the product, service or information that you requested or that could be offered to you. Upon request Ultimate Auto Protection will explain your options of refusing or withdrawing consent to the collection, use, and disclosure of your personal information.

Limiting collection

Ultimate Auto Protection Inc does not collect personal information indiscriminately. Rather, we limit our collection of personal information to only what is necessary for the purpose we have identified. We employ fair and lawful means in the collection of personal information.

Limiting use, disclosure and retention accuracy

Ultimate Auto Protection will use or disclose your personal information for the purpose for which it was collected, except with the consent of the individual or as required by law.

There are some instances in which Ultimate Auto Protection may be required to disclose your personal information as part of Ultimate Auto Protection Inc conducting its business in the ordinary course; this includes, for example, suppliers and distributors. When Ultimate Auto Protection hires other organizations to provide support services, Ultimate Auto Protection will require them to conform to our privacy standards.

Ultimate Auto Protection will retain personal information only for as long as required to fulfil the identified purpose. Once your personal information is no longer required, it will be destroyed or made anonymous.

Accuracy

Ultimate Auto Protection Inc endeavours to keep Ultimate Auto Protection’s personal information holdings complete, up-to-date and accurate. While Ultimate Auto Protection does their best to ensure our information is accurate, Ultimate Auto Protection does rely on individuals to inform Ultimate Auto Protection of any relevant changes in their personal information.

Should you discover, upon review of your personal information, that amendments are required, please advise Ultimate Auto Protection. If the requested change is accepted, the personal information will be modified in accordance with your request as soon as possible and you will receive a copy of the amended portion of the record.

When a correction or amendment has been made to a personal record, Ultimate Auto Protection will, where appropriate, send a copy of the correction to any persons or organizations that have access to the information in question.

If the requested change is not accepted, you will be notified in writing that the change will not be made. You will be given an opportunity to submit a statement concerning the dispute which will be maintained along with the disputed information for as long as Ultimate Auto Protection retains that information. Where appropriate, third parties who have received the disputed information will also receive a copy of the statement of dispute.

Safeguards: protecting your information

Ultimate Auto Protection employs appropriate safeguards to make certain that your personal information is protected from loss or theft as well as from unauthorized access or disclosure.

Ultimate Auto Protection Inc may employ other companies to provide services to you on Ultimate Auto Protection’s behalf, such as data processing or records retention. When this occurs, Ultimate Auto Protection has contracts in place to ensure your personal information is protected by the same high standards that govern Ultimate Auto Protection Inc’s information handling practices.

The nature of the safeguards and level of protection will depend on the sensitivity of the information in question and incorporates physical security measures (locked doors and file cabinets), organizational controls (visitor sign in and employee identification cards), and technological tools (computer passwords and encryption).

Ultimate Auto Protection Inc audits its security measures to ensure our practices conform with Ultimate Auto Protection’s Code and related privacy policies.
