PERSONAL INFORMATION PRIVACY POLICY
As valued clients of GALLARDO & ASSOCIATES, we want to inform you that we have implemented a system to ensure the personal information is secure and that we shall only use it with our client's consent. As defined, personal information is anything that we may have in our possession that could be used to identify you. Whenever we obtain personal information from our clients, we shall explain why we need it and how we intend to use or disclose it. We will also ask for the client's consent to continue using or disclosing any of the personal information that we had on file in the past. If the purpose of our possessing the personal information changes for any reason, we shall advise the client and seek a new consent.
If at any time the client wishes to review the personal information which we posses relating to them, they may contact Paul Gallardo, our Chief Information Officer. The role and scope of responsibilities of the Chief Information Officer is to oversee the safe management of all personal information collected, used or disclosed by GALLARDO & ASSOCIATES. He may be reached at (416) 248-0909, and will be happy to assist the clients in filing for access to the information. Should the client disagree with any of the information contained in our records and files, we will then ask the client to complete and sign a correction form authorizing us to make the necessary changes. In the event that the personal information changes without our knowledge, we would ask the client to advise us of same, in order to revise our records and files.
At such time that the personal information should expire with our firm, and is no longer valid, we shall dispose of it in a secure manner. Please be aware that we may be legally bound to retain certain or some information for a specified time and shall dispose of it when appropriate. Again it will be disposed of in a secure manner. Should the client have an issue or inquiry with any aspect for our personal information policies, we invite them to contact Paul Gallardo in order to commence a formal complaint. We assure you that all such complaints shall be thoroughly investigated and the client shall be provided with a written response upon the conclusion of such investigation. It is our sincere belief that our information management protocol will minimize the likelihood of discrepancies, but we want the client to know that it is their right to satisfy themselves that their personal information is being used appropriately.
