What personal information does De Havilland Canada collect?
De Havilland Canada will collect personal information for the purposes we have identified and those that are reasonable in the circumstances. De Havilland Canada collects personal information solely for purposes related to its business and does not sell, lease, or give information to others.
When products or services are provided by De Havilland Canada we must collect certain kinds of information for the processing of payment, warranty reasons and other forms of customer support.
Specifically, De Havilland Canada collects the customer’s name, company name, phone number, email and country for the purposes of contacting you should the service require it.
Why does De Havilland Canada collect personal information?
De Havilland Canada collects personal information primarily for the following purposes:
- to execute customer orders or service requests;
- to better understand customer needs and preferences;
- to develop, enhance or market products and services;
- to monitor, manage, develop and optimize the De Havilland Canada web site; and
- to manage and develop De Havilland Canada’s business and operations, including personnel and employment matters.
De Havilland Canada employees may specify the purpose, or purposes, orally, electronically or in writing, depending on how the information is collected. In situations where the reason for the collection of personal information is obvious, De Havilland Canada may not specify the reason. If the reason for the collection of the information is not specified, the information will only be used for the obvious reason.
Who does De Havilland Canada disclose my personal information to?
De Havilland Canada only discloses information to parties that customers have consented to explicitly or implicitly prior to the disclosure. When information must be disclosed for a transaction to be accomplished, and the reason for the disclosure is not obvious, De Havilland Canada will inform customers that disclosure of their personal information will occur. In situations where it is obvious that third parties will require personal information for the transaction to occur, consent to disclose will be implied.
We may also disclose personal information to:
- a person when in De Havilland Canada’s reasonable judgment disclosure is clearly in the interests of the individual and consent cannot be obtained in a timely way;
- a company or individual engaged by us to perform functions on De Havilland Canada’s behalf, such as third party service providers;
- a credit reporting agency;
- the disclosure is necessary in order to collect a debt owed to De Havilland Canada or for De Havilland Canada to repay an individual money owed to them by De Havilland Canada;
- a public authority or agent of a public authority, if in De Havilland Canada’s reasonable judgment it appears that there is imminent danger to life or property which could be avoided or minimized by disclosure of the information; or
- a third party or parties, where the person concerned consents to such disclosure or as required or authorized by law.
How does De Havilland Canada collect personal information?
De Havilland Canada will try to collect personal information from customers directly unless otherwise authorized by the customer or by law.
When products or services are provided by De Havilland Canada employees will ask for the required personal information. The information will be explicitly requested. Customers can refuse to provide this information if they choose. However, it may not be possible for customers to receive a product or service without disclosure of some personal information. If the customer is unable to receive the product or service because of their choice to not disclose personal information, the reason for the necessity of the personal information will be explained.
The De Havilland Canada web site collects information about the operating systems, browsers, length of visit and products viewed. This information is collected and used for the improvement of the web site. De Havilland Canada also uses “cookies” to track repeat visitors to the web site. The ability to track repeat visitors allows us to tailor the web site to the needs of that visitor. The information is not used for any purpose other than to make the visit more enjoyable for the customer.
How does De Havilland Canada protect my personal information?
De Havilland Canada will be diligent in protecting personal information in our control against risks of loss, theft, unauthorized access, disclosure, copying, use, modification or destruction by security safeguards that are appropriate to the sensitivity and format of the information.
Security measures include:
- minimum access by employees to customer information;
- data storage with passwords;
- destruction of all personal information when no longer required;
- destruction of all unnecessary documents; and
- the removal of sensitive customer debit and credit card information whenever it is not necessary to facilitate the transaction.
How can customers access their personal information?
Upon written notice from a customer setting forth reasonable proof of their identity, De Havilland Canada will, within 30 days, provide access to the customer’s personal information in our possession. De Havilland Canada will advise customers what the information is being used for and to whom it has been disclosed. De Havilland Canada will notify individuals who request access to their information of the expected fee, if any, for the production of the requested information. A minimal fee may be charged for the production of requested information. De Havilland Canada employees must make every reasonable effort to comply with requests and to respond to each applicant as accurately and completely as reasonably possible.
If De Havilland Canada refuses a customer’s request for information, then the customer will be informed of the reasons for the rejection, the relevant provision of any applicable legislation and resources for redress available.
Does De Havilland Canada require my consent to collect, use or disclose my personal information?
De Havilland Canada requires customer consent to collect, use or disclose personal information. In a limited number of cases consent to collect and use customers’ personal information will be implied. For example, the “Meeting and Inquiries” form requires customers to disclose their name and email address so the service can be delivered.
Subject to contractual provisions that require otherwise, customers may withdraw or refuse consent for the collection, use or dissemination of personal information. For De Havilland Canada to comply with such requests it is necessary that De Havilland Canada is given reasonable notice of the request. Should there be any consequences to the withdrawal of consent, customers will be made aware of those consequences.
