Taylor Enterprises Ltd., and Clients
P.I.P.E.D.A. Compliance

Both Taylor Enterprises and the Associations we represent respect your privacy. We also strive to protect the confidentiality of any personal information you may give us. We'd like you to know (a) the circumstances under which we collect information, (b) the kind of information we collect, and (c) how we may use that information.

We collect information on behalf of the Associations we manage and, from time to time, for our own purposes. You may provide us this information on-line, in a telephone conversation, or through a completed printed form.

For Taylor Enterprises Ltd.

1. On the Internet

Currently, we don't collect anything from you on-line. We don't use cookies (small, encrypted text files that contain information about you) to track your usage of our site.

We may, from time to time, offer seminars and accept registration on the Internet. In that case, we will collect only such information as is required to (a) ensure that your confirmation is sent to you at the address of your choosing and (b) that your payment is processed correctly. We will ask you for your name, mailing address, phone number, e-mail address and your credit card information. Credit card information provided on-line would be processed over a secure link.

As part of the registration process, we may ask you if you want to receive information about other seminars. You would be free to opt in or out. If you opted in, we would maintain your contact information in a database solely used for that purpose. This database would not be shared, given, sold or rented to any other party under any circumstances. It would reside on our computer, and may only be accessed by a Taylor employee who has (a) been authorized to do so and (b) has a password issued by our IT department.

None of the information we collect from you would be maintained on the Internet or on an Internet-accessible computer.

2. By phone, mail or in person

At this time, we don't collect anything from you for our own account.

In future, we may, as mentioned above, offer seminars and take registration by phone, mail or in person. Registration information would include name, address, telephone number and e-mail address, along with payment information. Such data would be collected only by our membership or special events department, and would be maintained on a secure server not connected to the Internet. This information would be used only to facilitate event registration and administration. No data collected would be sold, rented, or given to third parties.

All payments would be processed either through our credit/debit card machine (our accounting department would retain copies only for bank verification/reconciliation) or (for cheques/money orders/cash) deposited directly to bank. Once again, they would be processed securely, and the account information would be stored on a secure computer which is not accessible by the Internet

For Associations

1. On the Internet

Associations may take on-line membership registration or renewals. They will collect information on you, which may include your name, address, telephone number, e-mail address, birth date, employer, position, and Social Insurance Number. This data is captured and entered onto a secure server, which is not connected to the Internet. Data is used only to allow efficient administration of the Association; distribute mailings; and monitor membership renewals and/or course completions. Within the office, your data is accessed only by the Association manager, and the membership and accounting departments.

The Association may publish a membership roster from time to time. Such a roster would include your name and contact information. While participation in the roster is voluntary, we assume that you consent to being included unless you notify us to the contrary, in writing.

Your contact information may be made available to telephone committees to generate attendance at events, follow up on lapsed memberships or ask for committee support; however, no financial information is provided to them.

Aggregate statistical data may be made available to Association Board/committee members. No data collected is sold, rented or given to third parties.

From time to time, the Association may retain outside consultants to conduct membership surveys. We may make members' contact information available to them to facilitate the process. However, this information is communicated to them under the stipulation that it will only be used for the survey. Further, all results reported in the survey are not to be identifiable as coming from specific individuals, and aggregate statistical data is encouraged.

On-line payments are handled securely by the Association's credit card provider, and no credit card data is available to the association. On-line registration for seminars, conferences, etc. is handled according to these same protocols.
