CIL does not sell your Personal Information. We may share your information with third parties only in the following circumstances:
Please note that sharing information with service providers may result in your data being stored or processed outside of British Columbia or outside of Canada, where it may be subject to the laws of that jurisdiction.
We maintain physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards designed to protect your Personal Information from unauthorized access, use, alteration, or disclosure. Access to personal data is restricted to authorized personnel on a need-to-know basis.
Where we engage third-party service providers that require access to Personal Information, we take contractual and operational measures to ensure your data is handled securely and used only for the intended purpose.
We retain your Personal Information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by applicable law. Once no longer needed, information is securely destroyed or permanently de-identified.
While we take reasonable precautions, no method of electronic transmission or storage is entirely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute protection of data transmitted over the internet.
Under applicable Canadian privacy law, you have the right to request access to the Personal Information we hold about you and to request corrections to any inaccurate information, subject to certain legal exceptions.
