4. Collection, Use and Disclosure of Personal Information
Collection. Only information required for the purposes identified will be collected. Only lawful means will be used to collect personal information.
Use and disclosure. Personal information will not be used or disclosed for purposes other than those specified, except where required by law or to protect the interests of Stone Age against criminal activity, fraud, and material misrepresentation.
Use of Cookies and Non-Personally Identifiable Information. To help make our website more responsive to the needs of potential clients and other visitors, we invoke a standard feature found in browser software, called a "cookie", to assign each visitor a unique, random number; this is an anonymous user identification that resides on your computer. The cookie does not identify the visitor, nor will we know who you are, even if we assign a cookie to your computer. A cookie cannot read data off your hard drive.
Stone Age may keep records of non-personally identifiable information such as the number of hits a web page receives, internet protocol address, and other aggregate data. We do not link this aggregate data with any personal information. Third parties that help us administer our Web site may have access to this non-personally identifiable, aggregate data.
Other Sites. Our site may include links to other web sites whose privacy practices we do not control. Once you leave our servers (you can tell where you are by checking the URL in the location bar on your browser), use of any information you provide is governed by the privacy policy of the operator of the site you are visiting.
5. Consent To Collection, Use and Disclosure
Subject to legal and contractual requirements, you may grant, refuse or withdraw your consent to the use, storage or disclosure of your personal information for certain of the identified purposes at any time by contacting Stone Age’s Privacy Officer.
In some cases, we shall ask you to specifically consent, if we collect, use, or disclose your personal information. Normally, we ask for your express oral or written consent. Sometimes, your consent may be implied through your conduct with us. For example, when you give us your mailing address, we assume you have consented to the use of that address to mail reporting letters, documents or an invoice.
There are circumstances where collection, use or disclosure may be justified or permitted, or where we are obliged to disclose personal information without your consent. These circumstances could include:
- where the information is publicly available;
- where we are required to do so by law or by order of a court or tribunal;
- where we believe, upon reasonable grounds, that there is an imminent risk to an identifiable person or group of death or serious bodily harm;
- where it is alleged that a member, associate or employee of Stone Age is guilty of a criminal offence, or is civilly liable in a legal action or other misconduct;
- where it is necessary to establish or collect fees
In these circumstances, we will not collect, use or disclose more personal information than is required.
6. Storage, Security and Protection Of Personal Information
Stone Age takes all reasonable precautions to ensure that your personal information is kept safe from loss, unauthorized access, modification or disclosure. Among the steps taken to protect your information are:
- premises security;
- restricted file access to personal information;
- deploying technological safeguards like security software and firewalls to prevent hacking or unauthorized computer access;
- internal password and security policies
7. Retention
It is our practice to retain our files, and the personal information contained therein for a reasonable period of time. This retention policy was developed due to tax, regulatory and business needs, as well as for the benefit of our clients. We will keep personal information only as a long as it is necessary, including for the purposes of completing our services or as required by law. When the personal information is no longer required, it will be shredded or otherwise deleted or destroyed.
8. Access and Accuracy
Upon receiving a written request, and subject to any applicable exemptions, Stone Age will inform you of its then currently-held version of your personal information and will give you access to that information and the opportunity to correct any errors in it. Access requests should be sent to our Privacy Officer.
9. Changes to the Privacy Policy
Stone Age reserves the right to modify or supplement this Privacy Policy at any time. If we make a change to this Privacy Policy, we will post such changes on our website and, if requested, provide a physical copy to you.
