Opting out of direct marketing communications

Where we use your personal information to send you marketing and promotional information by post, email, or otherwise, we will provide you with an opportunity to “opt-out” of receiving such information. By electing not to opt out, we will assume we have your consent to receive similar information and communications in the future.

We take all reasonable steps to protect all the personal information we hold from misuse, interference and loss, and from unauthorized access, modification or disclosure.

Backups of electronic information are written to drives that are stored offsite.


Hard copy information is generally stored in our offices, which are secured to prevent entry by unauthorized people. Any personal information not actively being used is archived.

Your rights to access personal information are not absolute and privacy laws dictate that we are not required to grant access in certain circumstances such as where:

  • access would pose a serious threat to the life, safety, or health of any individual or to public health or public safety;
  • access would have an unreasonable impact on the privacy of other individuals;
  • the request is frivolous or vexatious;
  • denying access is required or authorized by a law or a court or tribunal order;
  • access would be unlawful, or
