QONDO is aware of your legitimate concerns about privacy and is fully committed to maintaining the integrity, confidentiality, security, and accuracy of your Personal Information in accordance with applicable privacy legislation and best industry practices.
This Privacy Policy (the "Policy") helps you understand the guiding principles applied by us to the collection, use, disclosure, retention, and disposal of and access to Personal Information on this site.
Because privacy concerns and legal and business requirements evolve continually, QONDO may have to change its Policy at any time without advance notice and therefore you are invited to review it regularly. Access to and use of this site are also governed by QONDO's site terms of use that you should review.
By using this website and providing us with your Personal Information, you agree that QONDO uses the latter in accordance with the Privacy Act and this Policy. For purposes of this Policy, "Personal Information" means any information about an identifiable individual within the meaning of section 3 of the Privacy Act.
Our Policy rests on the following seven guiding principles:
2.1 Identifying the purposes of use
The nature and scope of the Personal Information we need depends to a great extent on which products, solutions or services are of interest to you. QONDO will collect Personal Information only in relation to its services for business purposes in order to:
Your Consent can be express or implied ("Consent"). In our website, It is expressed in writing, or electronically. Your Consent can be implied through your action or inaction. For instance, when you register in our website, we conclude that you have consented to the collection, use, and disclosure of the Personal Information it contains for the intended purposes. The same conclusion may be drawn when you use one of solutions or services. Your Consent can also be given by your authorized representative, for instance, if he/she is providing Personal Information and is seeking services or solutions from our website.
Your Personal Information will be viewed by QONDO employees or representatives for the purposes of their work or for which it was given, as outlined in section Guiding Principles.
In some circumstances, QONDO may collect, use, or disclose Personal Information without your Consent for legal, security, or processing reasons, or when it is impossible to obtain your Consent in cases contemplated by applicable privacy legislation. Examples of such circumstances include compliance with applicable laws or court orders, the protection of the public interest, QONDO rights, fraud detection and prevention, the use of Personal Information emanating from a third party, and the collection of overdue accounts. You can withdraw your Consent at any time, provided QONDO is given reasonable notice and there are no legal or contractual requirements preventing this.
Limiting Collection, Use, and Disclosure of Personal Information. QONDO will not, without your Consent, collect, use, or disclose Personal Information except for the purposes identified or for a use consistent with those purposes or as otherwise required or permitted by applicable law.
QONDO may transfer (or otherwise make available) Personal Information to third parties who provide services on our behalf. For example, we may use service providers to process Personal Information, authorize and process payments, or host our website. Personal Information may be stored and processed outside of Canada, including the United States, by our third-party service providers. Our service providers are not authorized to use or disclose your Personal Information for any purpose other than providing the services on our behalf or as otherwise required by applicable law.
QONDO will retain the Personal Information only for specific periods of time as may be prescribed by applicable laws and regulations, as deemed necessary for the identified purposes. In accordance with legal requirements and applicable guidelines, QONDO will destroy, erase, render anonymous, or otherwise dispose of Personal Information after such period of time.
Providing Access and Accuracy. Subject to legal requirements provided by the Privacy Act or the Access to Information Act, QONDO will respect your right of access to your Personal Information by informing you of its procedures and requirements for responding to your request for access. QONDO will act diligently to give you access, at minimal or no cost wherever possible. You can challenge the accuracy of your Personal Information and request corrections if you believe there are errors or omissions. You may also require in certain circumstances that an annotation be attached to your Personal Information reflecting any correction requested but not made, or that such annotation or correction be notified to certain individuals.
QONDO will take all reasonable steps to ensure Personal Information used on an ongoing basis is as accurate, up-to-date, and complete for the purposes in which it was collected; we will rely on you to inform it of any required corrections.
Responding to Your Privacy Concerns. QONDO will respond to your questions and investigate diligently any complaints with respect to your Personal Information.
