This Privacy Statement and Policy is posted
by CUPS Community Health Centre (hereinafter referred to as “CUPS”),
operating as cupshealthcentre.com. This policy describes how we
obtain and retain information concerning identifiable individuals.
CUPS reserves the right to amend this policy from time to time.
In this policy, the “Web Site” means www.cupshealthcentre.com
and its contents and “personal information” means information
that relates to a discernible individual.
We operate under the following principles with
respect to collecting, using and disclosing personal information:
Any concerns, problems or questions should be
directed to us at: cups.blackwood@shaw.ca. We will respond to
your inquiries as soon as reasonably possible.
We do not request personal information from
visitors to the Web Site. In the event that we are provided with
personal information relating to visitors to the Web Site, we
do not distribute or disclose such information to third parties
except as stated in this policy.
All personal information we collect is with
the consent of the donor and in most cases will be voluntarily
submitted to use without specific request by us. However, all
parties should know that web browser software will usually “tell”
almost any web server and therefore any web site, not just ours,
some information about you, including your IP address, what site
you visited before you came to our site and what site you go to
after you leave our site, your operating system and other technical
information which does not make you personally identifiable to
us.
We log and archive IP addresses for use as evidence
in case of abuse of the Web Site, or for provision to legal authorities
should we be required to do so.
In addition, we use session variables to hold
information during the user’s visit. Session variables do not
retain any personal information. They only keep information for
the browser session and are lost at the end of the browser session.
We collect no more information that we need
for the purposes we state (see above).
We will not use personal information for any
purpose beyond what we state. We will not sell or disclose personal
information to third parties other than as stated, or if we are
otherwise required to disclose information by law. We do reserve
the right to disclose general and statistical information which
is not personally identifiable as part of our business and marketing
activities.
We strive to keep personal information accurate,
complete and fully up to date. Any changes provided to us will
be incorporated into our systems as soon as we reasonably can
do so.
We take reasonable precautions to maintain security of our systems,
but we do advise that no system is completely invulnerable to
hackers and illegal human actions.
This policy is prominently posted on our Web
site. We do reserve the right to make changes to this policy from
time to time without notice, but this will not affect our commitment
to follow the policy in place at the time we receive personal
information.
In order to keep personal information safe,
we do not allow access to the information we have concerning identifiable
individuals. Therefore, for security purposes, any response to
inquiries from individuals for information concerning themselves
will be sent only to the email address or other address such individuals
gave to us when they provided us with any personal information,
except in particular circumstances where we are in receipt of
a valid consent and direction to us to disclose such information
to an authorized third party, or as otherwise required by law.
If at any time you have concerns with
respect to this Privacy Policy, please send an email to cups.blackwood@shaw.ca
to send us an email with your concerns. We will respond to you
as soon as possible. We reserve the right to ignore vexatious
or harassing email, bulk or repetitious email, email which does
not reasonably require a response and email where the source cannot
be reasonably identified.
