Limits for Collecting, Using,
Disclosing and Keeping Personal Information
SeaWaves Press Inc does not collect, use or disclose personal information of
individuals except when individuals give consent and provide the information on
a voluntary basis. There may be occasions where more specific personal
information is necessary for SeaWaves Press Inc to proceed with a request for
information or provide a product or service. For example, in cases of surveys
or feedback forms. In such cases, SeaWaves Press Inc will describe the
information required. In all such cases, SeaWaves Press Inc limits the amount
and type of information collected to only the personal information that is
required to provide the individual with the requested information, product, or
service. SeaWaves Press Inc collects only information that is voluntarily
provided by the individual and undertakes that such information will be kept
strictly confidential.
SeaWaves Press Inc may disclose personal information collected by it without the knowledge or consent of the individual, for example to its lawyers; for purposes relating to an investigation under, the enforcement of or the administration of a law or where required by law to disclose the information. SeaWaves Press Inc will not use or disclose personal information without the knowledge or consent of the individual except as authorized by applicable law.
SeaWaves Press Inc retains personal information only if is necessary to provide the individual with the requested product, service or information. For example, if personal information is given to register for an event, the personal information will only be used for this event and will then be deleted or destroyed. In some cases, however, legal reporting or retention requirements necessitate that SeaWaves Press Inc retains information for a specific amount of time. In general, SeaWaves Press Inc retains personal information for a period not longer than seven years, in secure storage.
SeaWaves Press Inc does not sell or trade any personal information with third parties. Information may be transferred to third parties where information processing is outsourced by SeaWaves Press Inc during its activities or administrative procedures in specific cases. Some personal information collected by SeaWaves Press Inc is transferred to our service providers for processing and storage. Some of our service providers are located outside of Canada and accordingly your data may be processed and stored outside of Canada and may be subject to the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is processed or stored. SeaWaves Press Inc requires service providers to respect this Privacy Policy. Service providers are restricted from using or disclosing personal information transferred to them for any purpose other than the provision of services to SeaWaves Press Inc.
Any personal information that SeaWaves Press Inc retains is always kept in such a manner as to ensure its security and confidentiality.
Safeguarding Personal
Information
SeaWaves Press Inc respects the privacy of its members, partners, potential
website visitors and internet users and will protect that privacy as vigorously
as possible. Personal information is stored in electronic and physical files
that are secure. Security measures include secure locks on filing cabinets, and
using industry standard techniques such as firewalls, encryption, intrusion
detection and restricted access to computers. Unfortunately, no data
transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a
result, while SeaWaves Press Inc strives to protect personal information, it
cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information transmitted to it or
received from it electronically. This is especially true for information
transmitted via e-mail. SeaWaves Press Inc has no way of protecting that
information until it reaches it. Once a transmission is received, SeaWaves
Press Inc makes its best efforts to ensure its security on its servers.
Internally, access to personal information is restricted to employees who need
access to the information in order to do their jobs. These employees are
limited in number and are knowledgeable about and committed to our privacy
policies.

SeaWaves Press Inc makes every effort to keep personal information as accurate,
complete, current and relevant as necessary for the identified purposes. SeaWaves
Press Inc does not routinely update personal information.

At the written request of an individual, he or she may view or edit their personal information as collected by SeaWaves Press Inc. SeaWaves Press Inc will inform them of what personal information it has about the individual, what it is being used for and, in cases where it has been disclosed, to whom it has been disclosed. There may be exceptional circumstances as provided by the CSA Model Code under which SeaWaves Press Inc may not be able to give an individual access to personal information held about them by SeaWaves Press Inc. In this case SeaWaves Press Inc will explain the reason for this lack of access, as provided by the CSA Model Code.
