Privacy & Data Protection Policy
Our commitment to privacy and data protection
We are committed to protecting the rights and interests of our employees and our clients, so we have in place a privacy and data protection policy that meets stringent international practices including the requirements of the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Canadian Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA).
We shall always inform individuals when we store and process their personal data, ensuring they understand what data we store and process, with whom we share it, and why. We accomplish this through communication of this policy to our stakeholders both internal and external and any further communications required by the GDPR and PIPEDA.
We shall not perform automated processing or mining of personal data.
Compliance reviews
We shall regularly review the personal data that we store and process, and associated consent records, to ensure that they are accurate and up to date and that they still need to be retained. We shall regularly review our data handling controls, data sharing controls, records management controls, and security controls, as well as this policy, to ensure continued compliance with the GDPR and PIPEDA.
Personal data collected by JASCO
We only collect, store, and use personal data when we have a lawful basis for doing so. The sensitivity of the data we store is carefully balanced against the legitimate interests of JASCO to ensure the rights and interests of the individuals are protected. JASCO implements the necessary physical, organizational, and technological controls to protect personal data against loss, theft, and any unauthorized access, disclosure, copying, use, modification, interruption, removal, or destruction. These controls are appropriate to the sensitivity of the information.
