Wasteco Privacy Statement

Wasteco (“Wasteco”, “we” or “us”) is committed to protecting your privacy and safeguarding your personal information. This Privacy Statement describes how we may collect, use and disclose personal information. This Privacy Statement applies to any personal information we collect or receive about you, from any source. This Privacy Statement may be amended from time-to-time and applies to all Wasteco facilities and divisions in Canada.

Personal information

‘Personal information’ means information about an identifiable individual. Examples of personal information that we may collect, use and disclose include your contact information (name, address, phone number, email address), your billing information (credit card number or banking information), and other information that you may provide to us. Personal information does not include your name, business title, business address, and business telephone number in your capacity as an employee of an organization.

Our collection, use and disclosure of personal information

In most cases, we will collect personal information directly from you when you purchase or interact with us about a product or service that we offer or provide (for example, when you email us or contact us through our website). Occasionally, we may collect personal information from a third party based on your consent or as otherwise permitted by law. We identify the purposes for which we may collect, use and disclose your personal information at the time that we collect such information. Such purposes include providing and delivering products or services to you, responding to your inquiries, and internal business purposes such as administering or improving our website. We obtain your consent for such purposes at or before the time that we collect, use or disclose your personal information, except where permitted or required by law. Wasteco’s facilities and divisions may share personal information with each other in order to fulfill the purposes that you have consented to. We may also share your personal information with third party service providers as necessary for them to provide services on our behalf. Some service providers may be located outside of Canada where personal information may be subject to the laws of those jurisdictions. We may make disclosures of personal information to a potential purchaser in connection with a transaction involving the sale of some or all of the business of Wasteco (in which case the use of your personal information by the new entity would continue to be limited by applicable law), or as otherwise permitted or required by law.

Retaining and safeguarding personal information

We retain personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected and as permitted or required by law. We have implemented physical, organizational, contractual and technological security measures to protect your personal information from loss or theft, and unauthorized access, disclosure, copying, use or modification.
