employee files, credit records, loan records, medical records, existence of a dispute between a consumer and a merchant, intentions (for example, to acquire goods or services, or change jobs).

Why do we collect Personal Information?

We strictly collect and process Personal Information of

Our customers;

- For other purposes described in the Policy.
We limit how your Personal Information is used and shared and take certain precautionary measures to protect your information.

Do we get your consent?

As per PIPEDA, we are only allowed to collect and use Personal Information with your consent.

Consent may be express, implied or deemed. Express consent can be given orally, electronically or in writing. Implied consent is consent that can reasonably be inferred from your action or inaction. For example, when you provide Personal Information during the course of obtaining our products or services, we are entitled to assume you consent to the collection, use and disclosure of your Personal Information for purposes related to your acceptance and use of those products or services, or for other purposes identified at the relevant time. Deemed consent is assumed if you do not exercise any opt-out mechanisms that may be offered.

We will typically seek required consents at the time that we collect the Personal Information. In some circumstances such consents may be obtained after collection but prior to our use or disclosure of the personal information, to the extent same is permitted under applicable law and regulatory requirements. If we plan to use or disclose personal information for a purpose not previously identified (either in this Privacy Policy or separately), we will, if required by applicable law and regulatory requirements, advise you of that purpose and obtain your consent before such use or disclosure.

We may collect, use or disclose Personal Information without your knowledge or consent where we are permitted or required to do so by applicable law and regulatory requirements.

What security measures do we take?

We use Miller’s best practices to ensure safeguard of your Personal Information. Our Information Technology Department constantly monitors your digital Personal Information by following industry accepted best-practices including Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards. We also ensure our systems and processes are designed to maintain security and confidentiality of your Personal Information and train staff on how to use them properly.

How long is your Personal Information retained?

Except as otherwise permitted or required by applicable law and regulatory requirements, we endeavor to retain your Personal Information only for as long as is necessary to fulfill the purposes for which the Personal Information was collected.

Revision to this Privacy Policy

We may make changes to this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in legal or regulatory obligations (including, under the applicable law and regulatory requirements) or changes in the manner in which we deal with personal information. We will post any revised version of this Privacy Policy on our website. Any changes to this Privacy Policy will be effective from the time they are posted, provided that any change that relates to why we collect, use or disclose your personal information will not apply unless you consent to that change, to the extent such consent is required under applicable laws and regulatory requirements.

Your Rights Over Your Information

You have the right to request access to, correct, amend, delete, restrict, or object to certain uses of your personal information (for example, direct marketing). We will not charge you more or provide you with a different level of service if you exercise any of these rights.
