LIMITING COLLECTION

The personal information that Partners collect will be limited to that which is necessary for purposes we have identified. We will only collect personal information for specific, legitimate purposes. We will not collect personal information indiscriminately. We will only collect information by fair and lawful means and not by misleading or deceiving individuals about the purpose for which the information is being collected.
Our Partners’ policies and procedures relating to the limitations on collection of personal information will be regularly communicated to their investigators who deal with collection, use and disclosure of personal information.

LIMITING USE, DISCLOSURE, AND RETENTION

Personal information will not be used or disclosed for purposes other than those for which it is collected, except with the consent of the individual or as permitted by law. Our Partners will only retain personal information as long as necessary for the fulfillment of those purposes. Personal information that is no longer required to fulfill identified purposes will be destroyed, erased, or made anonymous.
Please note that there may be situations where Investigations Canada Partners use, disclose or retain personal information for legitimate purposes not identified to the individual to which the information pertains including those situations referred to in the Consent Section.

ACCURACY

The personal information our Partner firms collect will be accurate, complete and up-to-date as necessary for its intended purposes. Our goal is to minimize the possibility that inappropriate information may be used to make a decision about any individual whose personal information we process.
The process for ensuring accuracy and compliance will involve:

• initial collection from client
  
• client will be asked to verify accuracy and completeness
  
• regular reviews; and
  
• verifying accuracy by contacting third parties (e.g. motor vehicle and driving record authorities, etc.)
