Personal Information

Personal information means information about an identifiable individual, but does not include the name, title or business address or telephone number of an employee of an organisation.

We will only collect personal information that is necessary within the operation of our business with your knowledge or consent.

​

Protection of Personal Information

All information you do provide is protected under the federal Privacy Act.

We will not use or disclose your personal information for purposes other than those for which it was collected without your consent, unless that use is required or permitted by law in situations where seeking consent is not possible or is inappropriate. We will not sell your personal information or trade with Third Parties to enable them to market their products and services.

​

Retention of Personal Information

We will retain your personal information only as long as it is necessary for the fulfillment of the purposes for which it was collected or as specified by laws governing the retention of documents. When no longer required, your personal information will be destroyed, erased or made anonymous.

​

Withdrawal of Consent

You have the right to withdraw your consent to the collection and retention of your personal information. This request may be subject to legal or contractual restrictions and reasonable notice. Such notice must be in writing. Upon withdrawal of consent, we will inform you of our actions and the implications of the withdrawal.

​

Access to Information

You may request access to the existence, use and disclosure of your personal information directly to us. Groupe Matériaux Godin Inc. will respond within a reasonable time and at minimal or no cost to you. In limited situations, access to your personal information may be denied.

Examples include if the personal information:

• Contains references to other persons

• Has already been destroyed

• Is subject to solicitor-client or litigation privilege; or

• Cannot be disclosed for other legal reasons

If we deny your request for access to your personal information, we will explain why.
