At CanMedGlobal.com, safeguarding your confidentiality and protecting your personal information is a primary concern. We are committed to meeting or exceeding the privacy standards established by Canada's Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (the "Act").
This page summarizes the privacy policy and practices of the CanMedGlobal.com web site.
You can visit CanMedGlobal.com on the Internet without telling us who you are or revealing any information about yourself. We only collect personal information about you when you specifically and knowingly provide it on our site via emails or downloadable order forms. If you do provide any of the information asked for on this Web site, you are expressly consenting to and have knowledge of the collection, use and disclosure of this information, as identified in this Privacy Policy.
1. CanMed will protect your account information against unauthorized access or release. We will not give, sell, rent, or loan any identifiable personal information to any third party, unless legally required to do so. We may share non-personal, summary, or aggregate customer data with partners and other third parties. CanMed may release personal information when we believe such release is appropriate in order to comply with the law, for example, if we receive a subpoena or court order.
2. The CanMedGlobal web site does not automatically gather any specific personal information from you, such as your name, phone number or e-mail address. CanMed would only obtain this type of information if you supply it by sending an e-mail, submitting a general inquiry form, or registering in a secure portion of the site.
3. Visitors' personal information received via e-mail or online forms is provided only to our office personnel, who require the information to respond to inquiries. CanMed does not use this information for any other purpose. You should be aware of the inherent risks of interception when communicating with others on-line using unencrypted e-mail.
4. CanMedGlobal does not normally use "cookies" to track how our visitors use this site or to determine sites previously visited. The system will notify you before any cookies are used so that you may refuse them. (A "cookie" is a file that may be placed on your hard drive without your knowledge by a web site to allow it to monitor your use of the site or to improve your use of the site by retaining site-specific preferences.)
5. All personal information created, held or collected by CanMedGlobal is protected under the Canadian Privacy Act.
6. Our servers automatically log information about visits to our Web site in the normal course of establishing and maintaining Web connections. Server logs record statistical information, such as visitors' IP addresses, type of operating systems, time and duration of visit, Web pages requested, and identify categories of visitors by items such as domains and browser types. These statistics are reported in aggregate form to our Web and communications staff, and are used to improve our Web site and ensure that it provides the optimal Web experience for visitors.
7. CanMed does not link server log information to any other data in a way that would enable us to identify individual visitors. However, CanMed may review server logs for security purposes, for example, to detect intrusions into our system. The possibility therefore exists that server log data, which contains visitors' IP addresses, could in instances of criminal malfeasance be used to trace and identify individuals. In such instances, raw data logs would be shared with appropriate investigative bodies authorized to investigate such breaches of security.
