L'Arche
London is committed to the privacy of your personal information. Beginning
on January 1, 2004, all businesses must comply with the Personal
Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA). The Act
gives individuals certain rights concerning the privacy of their personal
information. Why
Do We Need Personal Information? L'Arche
London provides services and products to a wide range of individuals. In
doing so, we need to collect personal information for various reasons
including: understanding your needs, meeting legal, regulatory and
contractual requirements, to facilitate the delivery of products and
services, maintaining your contact information, and providing materials
concerning our services and developments. We do not disclose or sell
personal information to third parties unless required by law. What
personal information do we collect? Personal
information is any information about an individual. This could include
information such as your name, address, and any other information relevant
to delivery of our products or services. How
do we collect your personal information on the web site? We
collect personal information through various forms and applications. The
information is then stored in secure databases. Online applications that
request personal information are typically identified on the web site. Consent
In most
cases, you will be asked for your consent if we collect, use, or disclose
personal information. Permission may be expressed in writing or implied
and may be given to us verbally, electronically, or through your
authorized representative. Individuals may withdraw permission to collect,
use and disclose their personal information at any time, subject to legal
and contractual restrictions and reasonable notice. Sometimes consent is
implied through conduct with us. Disclosure
of your Personal Information Under
certain circumstances, we may disclose personal information such as when
required or authorized by law or ethical reasons, when an individual has
consented to the disclosure, where it is necessary to establish or collect
fees, or if we engage a third party to provide administrative services to
us (like Internet or other computer services) and the third party is bound
by privacy obligations. Personal
Information Security L'Arche
London takes all reasonable precautions to ensure that personal
information is kept safe from unauthorized access, modification or
disclosure. Among the steps taken to protect personal information are the
use of restricted file access, deploying technological safeguards like
security software and firewalls, and internal password and security
policies. Access
to Personal Information Individuals
may ask for access to any personal information we hold about them. Summary
information is available on request. More detailed requests which require
retrieval costs may be subject to our normal professional service fees. An
individual's right to access their personal information is not absolute.
We may deny access when denial of access is required or authorized by law,
information relates to existing or anticipated legal proceedings, granting
access would have an unreasonable impact on other people's privacy, to
protect our organization's rights and property or if the request is
frivolous. Certain ethical, procedural and confidentiality rules may
prevent access in certain circumstances. If L'Arche London must deny a
request for information, a explanation will be provided. Changes
