commitment to protecting the privacy of its partners and potential Website visitors. This

applicable privacy legislation.

regularly.

If information is voluntarily provided, this is interpreted as consent to the
collection, use and disclosure of personally identifiable information as described
in this Privacy Policy. As required by the CSA Model Code, MLCC will not use
personal information for any purpose other than that for which consent has been
provided. Should MLCC require use of personal information for a new purpose,
consent will be sought for that new use.
7. Limits for Collecting, Using, Disclosing and Keeping Personal Information
-
MLCC does not collect, use or disclose personal information of individuals
except when individuals give consent and provide the information on a voluntary
basis. There may be occasions where more specific personal information is
necessary for MLCC to proceed with a request for information, or provide a
service. In such cases, MLCC will describe the information required. In all such
cases, MLCC limits the amount and type of information collected to only the
personal information that is required to provide the individual with the requested
information or service. MLCC collects only information that is voluntarily
provided by the individual and undertakes that such information will be kept
strictly confidential.
-
MLCC may disclose personal information collected by it without the knowledge
or consent of the individual, for example to its lawyers, for purposes relating
to an investigation under, the enforcement of or the administration of a law or
where required by law to disclose the information. MLCC will not use or disclose
personal information without the knowledge or consent of the individual except as
authorized by applicable law.
-
MLCC retains personal information only as long as is necessary to provide the
individual with the requested service or information. In some cases, however,
legal reporting or retention requirements necessitate that MLCC retains
information for a specific amount of time. In general, MLCC retains personal
information for a period not longer than 7 [seven] years, in secure storage.
-
MLCC does not sell or trade any personal information with third parties.
Information may be transferred to third parties where information processing is
outsourced by MLCC in the course of its activities or administrative procedures
in specific cases. Where personal information is transferred to a service provider
for processing, MLCC requires service providers to respect this Privacy Policy.
Service providers are restricted from using or disclosing personal information
transferred to them for any purpose other than the provision of services to MLCC.
-
Any personal information that MLCC retains is kept in such a manner as to ensure
its security and confidentiality at all times.
8. Safeguarding Personal Information
MLCC respects the privacy of its partners, potential Website visitors and Internet users
and will protect that privacy as vigorously as possible. Personal information is stored in
electronic and physical files that are secure. Security measures using industry standard
techniques such as firewalls, encryption, intrusion detection and restricted access to
computers. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be
100% secure. As a result, while MLCC strives to protect personal information, it cannot
ensure or warrant the security of any information transmitted to it or received from it
electronically. This is especially true for information transmitted via e-mail. MLCC has
no way of protecting that information until it reaches it. Once a transmission is received,
MLCC makes its best efforts to ensure its security on its servers. Internally, access to
personal information is restricted to employees who need access to the information in
order to do their jobs. These employees are limited in number, and are knowledgeable
about and committed to our privacy policies.
