International transfer and processing of personal information
We have business locations in Quebec, Canada and other countries. We have servers in Canada and New Caledonia. The personal information we collect is stored or processed there. In order to complete our assignments, we may have to transmit certain personal information from one place of business to another. In these circumstances, your personal information may end up in a jurisdiction that does not have exactly the same legislative protections as Quebec, and that personal information may be accessible to local government agencies pursuant to court orders or local legislation.
Personal information is transmitted using reasonable security measures and only when absolutely necessary. By agreeing to let us collect your personal information in accordance with this Policy, you also agree that that information may be transmitted outside Quebec.
Protection of personal information
We have implemented reasonable security measures to protect your personal information. The aim of those measures is to protect against unauthorized access, use or communication (of any kind) and against the loss or destruction of information. As part of our contractual agreements with external suppliers, we have implemented security measures to ensure the protection of your personal information processed by those third parties.
Cloud
Your personal information may be stored in the cloud. That personal information may therefore be processed by third-party suppliers on our behalf and stored in Canada. We have implemented internal measures to ensure the protection of your personal information by those suppliers and to ensure that your personal information is not used in a manner contrary to this Policy.
Retention of personal information
We retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected. We retain that information to meet our legal obligations, provide our services or settle any disputes.
Your rights as the concerned person
As the concerned person, you have certain rights in relation to your personal information. Those rights may be restricted by certain conditions or exceptions.
Access to your personal information
We must confirm to you the existence of your personal information in our possession and allow you to obtain a copy.
Rectification
You may contact us to correct or update your personal information.
All requests for access or correction must be sent to renseignements.personnels@norda.com. The Privacy Officer must respond to your request within thirty (30) days of receipt. We must provide reasons for any refusal, including the various legislative provisions on which the refusal is based. In the event of refusal, you will be informed of the alternative remedies available to you, including the applicable time limits. There is no charge for access to your personal information, but you may be asked to pay a reasonable fee for the transcription, reproduction or transmission of documents containing your personal information. Those costs will be disclosed to you prior to any transcription, reproduction or transmission of your personal information.
Deletion
You may request that your personal information be deleted from our databases. We need to take a number of factors into account for this type of request, including the applicable legislative provisions regarding record-keeping obligations. Consequently, it may not be possible to process your deletion request in its entirety at the time your request is made.
