Privacy Policy

We recognize the significance of protecting information about identifiable individuals (personal information), and have made protecting your privacy and the confidentiality of your personal information a fundamental component of the way we do business. We have put in place appropriate procedures to safeguard and help prevent unauthorized access to your personal information, to maintain data security, and to ensure that we correctly use the information we collect online.

This privacy policy informs you of the ways we ensure your privacy and the confidentiality of your personal information.

Consistent with Canada’s Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA), our privacy policy consists of five key principles:

1. Collecting and Using Information

We collect personal information ensure a high standard of service to our clients, to register and assist our students, and to promote our conflict resolution services.

Unless permitted by law, either before or when we collect personal information, we will obtain your consent and explain how we intend to use the personal information.

We will limit the collection of personal information to what we need for the purposes for which we collected the information, and we will use the information only for those purposes.

2. Releasing Information

We never sell any information about our clients or other individuals about whom we have obtained personal or other information.

We only disclose personal information to others when one of the following conditions is met:

• we have consent
• we are required or permitted to do so by law

3. Protecting Information

Safeguards

We protect personal information with appropriate physical, technological and organizational safeguards and security measures.

Retention

The length of time we retain personal information will vary depending on the purpose for which it was collected and used. This period may extend beyond the end of the relationship with us but only for so long as it is necessary for us to have sufficient information to respond to any issue that may arise at a later date.

When personal information is no longer needed we have procedures to either destroy, delete, or erase the information.

For example, we may not be able to provide personal information from files that contain references to other individuals, are the subject of legal privilege, contain confidential information proprietary to Munn Conflict Resolution Services, relate to an investigation of a breach of agreement or law, or cannot be disclosed for other legal reasons.
