We care about your privacy. We want you to feel secure and confident when using our website. As such, we will outline below the standards which we will apply when collecting, using and disclosing any of your confidential information.
Much of the information that we may collect, use or disclose in the course of offering services to you will be information that is required to deliver and set up your child safety kit. Except for basic account information, such as your name, email address, physical address and telephone numbers, we will rarely collect, use or disclose “Personal Information” as such term is defined in applicable private sector privacy legislation. Nonetheless, we intend to respect and protect the confidentiality of any information which you provide us with in the course of our relationship.
“Personal Information” when used herein means information about an identifiable individual but does not include contact information about a person in their business capacity, such as the name, title, business address, or telephone number of an employee of an organization.
