Privacy Statement
Last updated on August 09, 2016. At IPT Publishing & Training Ltd. the protection of your personal information has always been a top priority. IPT’s Policy regarding the collection, use and disclosure, if any, of personal information can be broken down into the 10 principles covered in Canada's Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act ("PIPEDA").
1. Accountabilty
-IPT is responsible for personal information under its control. -We have designated a Privacy Officer who is accountable for our compliance with this Policy and all applicable privacy laws. -All IPT employees are responsible for day-to-day compliance. -When we use trusted third parties to act on our behalf by performing such functions as, processing credit card payments or providing customer service, contractual or other appropriate means are used to ensure compliance by such third parties with this Policy and all applicable privacy laws. -Our website may contain links to other websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of other web sites. We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our site to read the privacy statements of each and every web site that collects personally identifiable information. This Privacy Policy applies solely to information collected by IPT.
2. Identifying Purposes
-Unless the purpose is self-evident due to the nature of the transaction in question, IPT will identify the purposes for which personal information is collected at or before the time the information is collected. -The proposed purposes will be described in a reasonably understandable manner. -An example of a self-evident purpose is requesting the name and address of the person placing an order in order to ensure proper delivery.
3. Consent -We will collect, use or disclose your personal information only with your knowledge and consent, except where required or permitted by law.-IPT will not make your consent a requirement to the supply of a product or a service other than required to be able to supply the product or service. -Consent can be expressed or, in some circumstances, implied, and given in writing, by using or not using a check-off box, electronically, orally (in person or by telephone), or by your conduct, such as use of a product or service. -In determining the type of consent to obtain, IPT will consider all relevant factors, including the sensitivity of the information and your reasonable expectations. -You may withdraw your consent at any time, on reasonable notice, subject to legal or contractual restrictions. Children's Privacy -Protecting children's privacy is important to us. It is not our intent to collect or solicit personal information from anyone under the age of sixteen. If you are under the age of sixteen, please do not attempt to register or send any information about yourself to us, including your name, address, telephone number, or email address. In the event that we learn that we have collected personal information from an individual under the age of sixteen, we will remove that information as quickly as possible. -Parents and legal guardians can withdraw consent to their child's participation and use of their personal information at any time by contacting us at CLOAKING
4. Limiting Collection
-The collection of personal information by IPT will be limited to what is necessary for the purposes which it identifies, specifically a business transaction. -We will collect personal information by fair and lawful means. -We do not use “Cookies” on iptbooks.com to recognize a visitor or to track or the pages visited. - It is our policy to not sell, rent, or loan our subscriber lists to third parties for e-mail marketing. Who is a third party? Well, the first party is you, the second party is us, so it's basically anyone who's not you or us. We also do not buy mailing lists from other companies, so the only contact information we have is from individuals, companies, or organizations who have contacted us directly 5. Limiting Use, Disclosure, and Retention-Personal information will not be used or disclosed for purposes other than those for which it was collected, except with your consent or as required or permitted by law. -It will be retained only as long as necessary to process transactions, maintain appropriate financial and audit records, protect IPT’s commercial interests, or as required by law.
6. Accuracy -We will keep your personal information as accurate, complete and up-to-date as necessary for the purposes for which it is to be used.
7. Safeguards -IPT will protect personal information by security safeguards appropriate to the sensitivity of the information, including through the use of the following measures: physical (e.g., locked filing cabinets, restricted access, appropriate disposal of personal information), organizational (e.g., security clearances, access only on a "need to know" basis), technological (e.g., passwords, encryption) and training of employees.
8. Openness -Information about our policies and practices relating to the management of personal information will be made readily available to individuals.
9. Individual Access -Upon request, IPT will inform you of the existence, use and disclosure of personal information relating to you, and give you access to that information. You have the right to challenge the accuracy and completeness of your information and have it amended as appropriate. -However, in certain circumstances permitted by law, this information will not be disclosed to you. Some examples of these circumstances are information that contains references to other individuals, that cannot be disclosed for legal, security or commercial proprietary reasons, or that is subject to solicitor-client or litigation privilege.
10. Contacting Us and/or Challenging Compliance -For anything to do with this Policy, including questions or comments, or to challenge our compliance with this policy, please contact us as follows: Privacy Officer Phone 780-962-4548 -IPT will inform individuals who make inquiries or lodge complaints about its inquiry or complaint procedures, as applicable.
