PRIVACY POLICY
Calgary Landscaping Privacy Policy
Calgary Landscaping is committed to safeguarding the personal information entrusted to us by our customers.
We manage your personal information in accordance with Alberta’s Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA) and other applicable laws. This policy outlines the principles and practices we follow to protect your personal information.
What is Personal Information?
Personal information means information about an identifiable individual. This includes such information as an individual’s name, home address, and phone number.
What Personal Information Do We Collect?
We collect only the personal information necessary for the purpose of providing services to our clients, including personal information needed to:
- Open and manage an account
- Delivery of requested products and services
- Provide warranties for products and services
- Arrange for other contractors to attend the project site and/or contact & meet with customers
- Contact customers about appointments
- Photo or video documentation of the project site, including media for advertising purposes
- Follow up with customers to determine satisfaction with products and services
- Meet regulatory or legal requirements
We normally collect information directly from our customers. We may collect your information from other people with your consent or as authorized by law. We inform our customers, before or at the time of collecting personal information, of the purposes for which we are collecting the information. The only time we do not provide this notification is when a client volunteers information for an obvious purpose.
We Do Not Share
We do not share mobile information with third parties for marketing purposes. We do not transfer your personal data to external organizations without your explicit consent, except as required by law. We have implemented strict access controls and data protection measures to prevent unauthorized sharing of your information.
Consent
We ask for consent to collect, use, or disclose client personal information, except in specific circumstances where collection, use, or disclosure without consent is authorized or required by law. We may assume your consent in cases where you volunteer information for an obvious purpose. In cases where we collected personal information before January 1, 2004, we assume your consent to our use and, where applicable, disclosure for the purpose for which the information was collected.
We ask for your express consent for some purpose and may not be able to provide certain services if you are unwilling to provide consent to the collection, use, or disclosure of certain personal information. Where express consent is needed, we will normally ask clients to provide their consent. In cases that do not involve sensitive personal information, we may rely on “opt-out” consent. For example, we may disclose your contact information to other organizations that we believe may be of interest to you, unless you request that we do not disclose your information.
A client may withdraw consent to the use and disclosure of personal information at any time unless personal information is necessary for us to fulfill our legal obligations. We will respect your decision, but we may not be able to provide you with certain products and services if we do not have the necessary personal information. We may collect, use, or disclose client personal information without consent only as authorized by law. We will not request consent when the collection, use, or disclosure is reasonable for an investigation or legal proceeding, to collect a debt owed to our organization, in an emergency that threatens life, health, or safety, or when the personal information is from a public directory.
How Do We Use and Disclose Personal Information?
We use and disclose client personal information only for the purposes for which the information was collected, except as authorized by law. For example, we may use client contact information to deliver goods. The law also allows us to use that contact information for the purpose of collecting a debt owed to our organization, should that be necessary. If we wish to use or disclose your personal information for any new business purpose, we will ask for your consent.
How Do We Safeguard Personal Information?
We make every reasonable effort to ensure that client information is accurate and complete. We rely on our clients to notify us if there is a change to their personal information that may affect their relationship with our organization. If you are aware of an error in our information about you, please let us know, and we will correct it on request wherever possible. In some cases, we may ask for a written request for correction.
We protect client personal information in a manner appropriate for the sensitivity of the information. We make every reasonable effort to prevent any loss, misuse, disclosure, or modification of personal information, as well as any unauthorized access to personal information. We use appropriate security measures when destroying client personal information, including shredding paper records and permanently deleting electronic records.
We retain client personal information only as long as is reasonable to fulfill the purposes for which the information was collected or for legal or business purposes.
Retention of Personal Information
We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, as outlined above, or as required for legal or business purposes. Once that period has passed, we securely dispose of or anonymize the data to ensure privacy.
Access to Records Containing Personal Information
Customers of Calgary Landscaping have a right to access their own personal information in a record that is in our custody or under our control, subject to some exceptions. Calgary Landscaping is required under the Personal Information Protection Act to refuse to provide access to information that would reveal personal information about another individual. Organizations are authorized under the Act to refuse access to personal information if disclosure reveals confidential business information. Access may also be refused if the information is privileged or contained in mediation records.
If we refuse a request in whole or in part, we will provide the reasons for the refusal. In some cases where exceptions apply to access, we may withhold that information and provide you with the remainder of the record. You may make a request for access to your personal information by writing to Calgary Landscaping. You must provide sufficient information in your request to allow us to identify the information you are seeking.
You may also request information about our use of your personal information and any disclosure of that information to people outside our organization. For personal information collected before January 2004, if we do not have a record of disclosures, we will provide information about any disclosure of your information that is likely to have occurred. You may also request a correction of an error or omission in your personal information. We will respond to your request within 45 calendar days, unless an extension is granted. We will charge a fee at our standard office rate/per hour to provide information, but not to make a correction. We will advise you of any fees that may apply before beginning to process your request.
