Privacy Officer

To confirm our commitment to privacy Techocan has appointed a qualified member of our senior management team as the Privacy Officer. The Privacy Officer is available to offer more information on our practices and policies, to ensure compliance by everyone at Techocan and to rectify any complaints.

The Privacy Officer will review any new processes, procedures or practices affecting the privacy of our employees, our suppliers and our clients to ensure they are compliant with our Privacy Policy, and will commits to being aware and knowledgeable about any changes in the Canadian privacy legislation and to ensuring Techocan consistently meets or exceeds the privacy requirements. The Privacy Officer can be contacted by mail at the address below.

Techocan maintains that it will identify the purpose for collecting personal information and inform the affected individuals of the intended purpose. When the intended use for the collected information involves releasing it to an interested third party, Techocan will ensure the individual grants consent before any information is released. Consent for these purposes can be either explicit or implicit depending on the sensitivity of the information.

Techocan will only collect information for which there is an intended purpose. The collected information will only be used for the purposes stated. Should the information be necessary for purposes other than those stated, separate consent will be obtained. This is true for all situations except those where Techocan has obtained general consent or where the particular use is required by law or required by the police for an investigation.
