PRIVACY
STATEMENT
TFT
values you as a client and takes your personal privacy seriously.
As such, we would like to inform you of our policies for collecting,
using, securing, and sharing nonpublic personal information. Our
principles for protecting your personal information are based on
the Canadian Standards Association Model Code as set out in Canada’s Personal
Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA).
What is personal information?
It is information about an identifiable individual
and can include an individual’s address, phone number, e-mail
address, education, and employment history. It does not include
the name, title, business address, or business telephone number of
an employee of an organization.
What does your privacy mean
to us?
Our Privacy Code describes the principles TFT will
use to protect the privacy of personal information
in its possession or control. This Privacy Code does not apply to
information about business clients who carry on business as corporations,
partnerships, or in other forms of association. TFT does,
however, protect the confidentiality of such information in accordance
with the law and TFT's own policies. This Privacy Code
does apply to information about business clients carrying on business
in sole proprietorships.
