PRIVACY ACT OF 1983

This Act defines the rules and obligations for Canadian federal agencies and departments to limit the use of personal information. Any Canadian agency that uses Doxy.me products to collect personal information must comply with this Act.

PIPEDA—THE PERSONAL INFORMATION PROTECTION AND ELECTRONICS DOCUMENTS ACT OF 2000

Canada’s comprehensive national private sector privacy legislation is known as PIPEDA. The goals of the Act are to create trust in electronic commerce transactions and to establish a level playing field, so the same rules apply to all businesses. PIPEDA is similar to EU legislation, and that is why Canada is one of the few countries that is deemed to have an ”adequate” level of protection by EU Authorities. This means that EU data may be stored and processed in Canada without additional legal instruments.

It should be noted that provinces may have their own privacy laws. If they are equal to or stronger than PIPEDA, then they take precedence.

PIPEDA has ten Fair Information Principles, listed below.

Accountability — We have a privacy officer and committee responsible for privacy issues. They make information about their privacy policies and procedures available at the Website.

Identifying purposes — We identify the reasons for collecting the Provider’s personal information before or at the time of collection.

Consent — We clearly inform the Provider of the purposes for the collection, use or disclosure of personal information as stated in the main Privacy Policy.

Limiting collection — We limit the amount and type of the information gathered to what is necessary. For Providers, only a name and email address are required.

Limiting use, disclosure and retention — In general, we use or disclose your personal information only for the purpose for which it was collected, unless you (the Provider) consents. We only keep the Provider’s personal information only as long as necessary.

Accuracy — We keep and allow the Provider to keep your personal information as accurate, complete and up to date as necessary.

Safeguards — We protect the Provider’s personal information against loss or theft by using appropriate security safeguards.

Openness — Our privacy policies and practices are understandable and easily available on the Website.

Individual access — Generally speaking, citizens have a right to access the personal information that an organization holds about you. The Provider has access to their account and the information within the account.

Recourse (Challenging compliance) — Organizations must develop simple and easily accessible complaint procedures. When you contact an organization about a privacy concern, citizens should be informed about avenues of recourse. Please contact support@doxyme.com for any concerns or complaints.

Cookie Policy
We use Cookies and similar tracking technologies to track the activity on the Service and store certain information.

Any use of Cookies — or of other tracking tools — by Us or by the owners of third-party services used by Us serves the purpose of providing the Service as requested by you. If you opt to disable all or certain cookies, your experience may be diminished and you may not be able to use the Service.
