3. To whom does WGP disclose your personal information?
From time to time, WGP may use and disclose your personal information: for the purposes described in this Policy or for any additional purposes for which we have obtained your consent.  WGP may share your personal information with our employees, contractors, consultants and other parties who require such information to assist us with establishing, maintaining and managing our relationship with you.

In particular, WGP may disclose your personal information to:

  • service providers, including an organization or individual retained by WGP to perform functions on its behalf, such as marketing, data processing, document management and office services, etc;
  • a financial institution, on a confidential basis and solely in connection with such matters as the assignment of a right to receive payment, the provision of security or other financing arrangements;
  • another party in the event of a change in ownership of, or a grant of a security interest in, all or a part of WGP through, for example, some other form of business combination, merger or joint venture, provided that such party is bound by appropriate agreements or obligations and required to use or disclose your personal information in a manner consistent with the use and disclosure provisions of this Policy, unless you consent otherwise; or
  • any third party or parties, where you consent to such disclosure or where disclosure is required or permitted by law.

4. How can you express your privacy preferences?
It is important to WGP that where we collect, use or disclose your personal information we have your consent to do so. In general, we seek to obtain your express informed consent before collecting your information. Express consent can be given orally, electronically or in writing.

Subject to legal or contractual restrictions and reasonable notice, you may change or withdraw your consent at any time by contacting our Customer Relationship Manager at the address indicated below.  In some circumstances, a change in or withdrawal of consent may severely limit our ability to provide services or information that you requested or that could be offered to you. All communications with respect to such withdrawal or variation of consent should be in writing and addressed to our Customer Relationship Manager.

At WGP, we want you to be able to maintain control over how we use your personal information.  In particular:

  • You may have the right to “opt out” of some or all of the identified purposes, uses and disclosures listed in sections 3 and 4 above;
  • You always have the option to instruct us not to use your name, address, e-mail address, etc. beyond providing you with the information or service you requested;
  • E-mail communications will always include an identification of the sender and an “Unsubscribe” option;
  • You have the right to access and rectify your personal information that we have on file, as discussed below in section 7.

In order to specify your privacy preferences, please contact our Customer Relationship Manager at the address below (see “Contact Us”).

5. How do we protect your personal information?
To help protect the confidentiality of your Personal Information, WGP employs administrative, technological and procedural safeguards that are appropriate to the sensitivity of the personal information. We operate secure data networks protected by industry standard firewall and password protection systems. Uses and disclosures of personal information by external individuals and organizations acting on behalf of WGP are governed by contracts that require personal information to be protected appropriately.

Documents containing personal information are kept in filing cabinets that are maintained in our offices.  Access is limited to those who have a business need to know.

6. Where is your personal information stored?
Your personal information is stored in secured locations and on servers controlled by WGP, located either at our offices or at the offices of our service providers.  For access to your personal information, please contact our Customer Relationship Manager via the contact information below.  WGP shall retain your information for such length of time as required by law.

7. How can you access your personal information?
Upon written request, subject to certain exceptions, WGP will inform you of the existence, use, and disclosure of your personal information and will give you access to that information.  Access requests should be sent to our Customer Relationship Manager, using the contact information in the “Contact Us” section below.  When requesting access to your personal information, we may request specific information from you to enable us to confirm your identity and right to access, as well as to search for and provide the personal information that we hold about you. We may charge you a fee to access your personal information to cover our costs; however, we will advise you of any fee in advance.

Your right to access your personal information is not absolute. Applicable law or regulatory requirements allow or require us to deny you access where access would inhibit the ability of WGP to comply with a legal obligation; where it has already been destroyed due to legal requirements or because we no longer need it for our business purposes and where access would reveal personal information about a third party.

In the event that we cannot provide you with access to your personal information, we will inform you of the reasons, subject to any legal or regulatory restrictions.

8. How can you update or correct your personal information?
You should advise WGP if you believe that your personal information is inaccurate. You have the right to ask for it to be corrected or updated. We may ask you to provide documentation to support your request for correction or updating.

9. Changes to this Policy; Interpretations
WGP reserves the right to modify or supplement this Policy at any time. If any changes are made to WGP’s use, collection or disclosure of your personal information that require your consent, we will not implement such changes until your consent has been obtained.

This Policy does not create or confer upon any individual any rights, or impose upon WGP any rights or obligations outside of, or in addition to, any rights or obligations imposed by Canada’s federal and provincial privacy laws, as applicable.  Should there be, in a specific case, any inconsistency between this Policy and Canada’s federal and provincial privacy laws, as applicable, this Policy shall be interpreted, in respect of that case, to give effect to, and comply with, such privacy laws.
