Consent
The prior knowledge and permission of the customer are required for the collection, use or disclosure of personal information, except where inappropriate due to legal or security reasons. We may obtain express consent (i.e., specific authorization given to us, either orally or in writing) or we may determine that consent has been implied (i.e., we have not received a specific authorization, but the circumstances allow us to collect, use or disclose personal information).
Limiting Collection
The collection of personal information shall be limited to that which is necessary for the purpose(s) identified. Personal information shall be collected by fair and lawful means.
Limiting Use, Disclosure and Retention
Personal information will not be used, disclosed or retained for purposes other than those for which it was collected, except with the permission of the customer, or as permitted or required by law. We will retain personal information only 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.
Accuracy
Personal information shall be as accurate, complete and up to date as is necessary for the identified purpose(s) for which it is to be used. We will, on an ongoing basis, ensure the accuracy and completeness of personal information under our care and control. Customers who provide personal information to us must do so in an accurate and complete manner.
Safeguarding Information
Personal information, regardless of the format in which it is held, will be protected against loss, theft, unauthorized access, disclosure, copying, use or modification by using security safeguards appropriate to the sensitivity of the information.
Openness
Specific information about our policies and practices relating to the management of personal information will be readily available to our customers. We have designated a Privacy Officer who will answer customers’ questions about our compliance with the Act.
Individual Access
Upon written request, a customer will be informed of the existence, use and disclosure of his or her personal information and shall be given access to it. We will respond to such requests within 30 days, unless we first advise that we need a longer period to respond. A customer will be able to challenge the accuracy and completeness of the information and have it amended as appropriate.
Challenging Compliance
Customers can address any complaint regarding compliance with the above principles with our Privacy Officer who will investigate their concerns and take the appropriate action to correct the situation. We will document all customer complaints, as well as our actions in response to complaints, by noting these details in the customer’s file and also in a master privacy file.
How We Collect, Use and Disclose Personal Information
We collect, use or disclose personal information only with our customers’ permission.
We will make sure our customers understand why we need personal information by using clear, understandable language when we identify the purpose. We collect only the information we need for the purpose(s) we have identified to our customers. Our files are kept for the purpose of providing better service in delivering clothing and apparel, aftermarket parts and accessories to our customers. We will not sell personal information under any circumstances. We only keep customers’ information as long as we need it to establish and/or service their accounts or to meet regulatory requirements. Once it is no longer necessary, the information is destroyed using the highest of safeguards and standards. We do not keep our customers’ credit card information on file for added security.
We Will Protect Customer Information
All employees and suppliers who are granted access to customer records understand the need to keep this information protected and confidential. They know they are to use the information only for the purposes intended. This expectation is clearly communicated. We have also established physical and systems safeguards, along with the proper processes, to protect customer information from unauthorized access or use.
Customers’ Right to Access Their Personal Information
We understand customers’ rights and want them to be aware of them as well. Customers have the right to ask questions about their personal information and to review their files within the guidelines set forth in the Act. As well, they have a right to request an update or correction and to bring their concerns to our attention through a complaint resolution process.
