PRIVACY
POLICY
Our Pledge to
you:
At Holibyte Online Solutions we understand
the importance of privacy. We treat our customers as
part of our team and carefully protect all the information
they have entrusted to us. The information we request
from you will enable us to provide you with the highest
levels of personal service and quality. We will not
disclose any personal information to any external company
or person, except as described above, without a client’s
informed consent unless we are required by law to disclose
this information. With the growth of electronic media
we recognize that it is necessary to take further steps
to protect the privacy of the individual. We fully support
the new Canadian legislation, the Personal Information
Protection and Electronic Documents Act, in its role
to protect the privacy of the individual. Our role in
protecting an individual’s privacy does not stop
with this Act. We maintain the security and confidentiality
of the information disclosed by our customers according
to the strictest standards. We are continually looking
for additional ways to ensure that the personal information
we hold is secure and used in a responsible and respectful
manner. As such, we have appointed a person responsible
for ensuring that the personal information entrusted
to us is secure and will not be used for purposes other
than what we require to deliver the service our customers
deserve and expect.
