Privacy Policy
New Horizons Tower 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.
The New Horizons Tower web site provides information to a wide range
of individuals. In doing so, we may need to collect personal information
for various reasons including: understanding your needs, meeting
legal, regulatory and contractual requirements, to facilitate the
delivery of services and information, to maintain your contact information,
and to provide information. We do not disclose or sell personal
information to third parties.
Personal Information
Personal information is any information about an individual. This
could include information such as your name, address, social insurance
number, email address, or any information relevant to delivery of
our services and information.
Collection of your personal information on our web site
We collect personal information through various forms and applications
on our 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 and Disclosure
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.
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.
Security and Access
New Horizons Tower 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.
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 New Horizons Tower must deny a request for information, an explanation
may be provided upon request.
Changes to the New Horizons Tower Privacy Policy
New Horizons Tower regularly reviews all of its policies and procedures
and may change this Privacy Policy from time to time.
