At Canadian Nannies on Call Inc., a company incorporated under the laws of Canada, together with any of its affiliates, partners or related parties (collectively, “Nannies on Call”, the “Company”, “we”, “our” or “us”), your privacy is, and always has been, very important to us. For the purposes of this Privacy Policy, “you” indicates such individual or individual representing an entity browsing this website (the “Website”), owned and operated by the Company, accessing the online resources available on the Website or using any of the services offered by the Company (the “Services”).

“Personal Information” is defined as information about an identifiable individual, though it does not include the name, business title, business address or telephone number of employees of organizations. We are committed to protecting any Personal Information that is collected by us in connection with the Services and adhering to all applicable privacy legislation, including British Columbia’s Personal Information Protection Act (“PIPA”), Canada’s Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (“PIPEDA”), the Canadian Standards Association’s Model Code for the Protection of Personal Information, Canadian Anti-Spam Legislation (“CASL”), the US Federal Trade Commission Act, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act 15 USC S6801, and US Federal law, including the Electronic Government (E-GOV) Act of 2002 and the Privacy Act of 1974. We are committed to maintaining the accuracy, confidentiality and security of your Personal Information. As part of this commitment, we are guided by the principles set out in both PIPA and PIPEDA.

Please take a moment to carefully review our Terms and Conditions in providing us with Personal Information.

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its affiliates, partners, directors, officers, agents and suppliers from and against any and all claims, suits, proceedings, liabilities, damages, losses, fees and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or in relation to any claims resulting from your breach of the Terms and Conditions, this Privacy Policy or your use of the Website and/or the Services.

You authorize us to use and retain this Personal Information for as long as it may be required for the purposes described herein. Consent may also be obtained by us in writing or verbally, in person or over the phone. Such consent remains valid even after the termination of our relationship with you, unless you provide us with written notice that such consent is withdrawn. If such consent is withdrawn, we will comply with your request, except where such withdrawal would frustrate a legal obligation. If you do not consent to the collection, use and disclosure of your or their information, please discontinue use of our Services and Website. We reserve the right to make any amendments to this Privacy Policy at any time and for any reason. Any amendments may also apply to information collected under a previous version of this Privacy Policy and such amended version will be posted on the Website.

Safeguarding Personal Information

At Nannies on Call, we employ physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to protect our systems and all Personal Information under our control against unauthorized access and use.

In order to service customers, the Company may transmit Personal Information to affiliates and external service providers. While the Company will take steps to ensure your privacy is respected, this may entail sending Personal Information data outside of Canada, where it may be subject to access by governmental agencies of the foreign jurisdiction pursuant to foreign law.

Access to Personal Information

You have a right to access your Personal Information. You can access your Personal Information by emailing [email protected] with a written request that has sufficient detail to identify the Personal Information you are seeking. We will endeavor to provide the requested information within a reasonable time and generally within thirty (30) days following your request. We may charge you a minimal fee for providing access to your Personal Information. Where a fee may apply, we will inform you of the cost and request further direction from you on whether or not you would like us to proceed with the request.

Although we will generally comply with your request to access your Personal Information, we may decline such access on grounds permitted or required under applicable legislation, including but not limited to circumstances where (a) the disclosure would reveal Personal Information about another individual, (b) the disclosure would reveal confidential commercial information that if disclosed, could harm our competitive position, or (c) the information is protected by solicitor-client privilege. If we refuse your access request in full or in part, we will notify you in writing with reasons for the refusal.
