Our Privacy Policy has been designed to assist you in understanding the type of information we collect, how we use that information and the safeguards we have in place to protect that information and your privacy.
The Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act [PIPEDA] (Canada) requires organizations to take reasonable steps to safeguard the personal information in their custody or control from such risks as: unauthorized access, collection, use, disclosure, copying, modification, disposal or destruction.
Your Personal Information is protected and kept secure at all times, regardless of format. Most methods of communication are not fully secure during transmission (i.e. certain types of email protocols) and security measures may create challenges when exchanging information. Email is often the preferred method of communication for ACC and unless you object we may use unencrypted plain text emails when communicating with you. ACC does not collect Personal Information through its website with the exception of information that you may provide to us voluntarily as a means of communicating with us.
