PRIVACY POLICY AND THE PROTECTION OF PERSONAL INFORMATION
Tilbury Auto Mall continues to be committed to the protection of the private and personal information of our Clients as addressed in this Privacy Policy. To the best of our knowledge, our policy complies with the requirements of the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act of Canada. The Privacy Policy outlines our assurance to respect and protect our Clients’ personal information. We want to ensure that our Clients know the purpose for which this information is being collected, to whom this information may be disclosed, how the confidentiality of this information is protected, the steps needed to find out what personal information is recorded, and for how long we will retain this information.

Tilbury Auto Mall Accountability

Tilbury Auto Mall is responsible for our Clients’ personal information under our control. We have appointed a Privacy Officer who is accountable for Tilbury Auto Mall compliance to this Privacy Policy. Our information is protected by appropriate safeguards through technological measures such as passwords and/or encryption.

Purpose for Information Collection

Tilbury Auto Mall makes every reasonable effort to make sure that an individual understands how her or his personal information will be used. Personal information is the information that relates to our Clients and their company, that identifies an individual as a Client of Tilbury Auto Mall, and that allows us to provide services and information directly to our Clients.

We ask for personal information so that we can:

Better understand and meet our Clients needs; and
Inform our Clients about our Client benefits and services, or those of partners, that we believe may be of interest to them.
An individual agrees to receive regular communications that will include offers from us as well as participating sponsors. From time to time, sponsors may also send separate communications to our Clients.

Tilbury Auto Mall may use names and addresses for general mailing purposes. We believe our Clients would also expect us to contact them to advise them of new and existing services that may be of interest to them. From time to time, we will inform our Clients of such services via direct marketing. Direct marketing material is usually delivered to them by mail, telephone or electronic means. A Client may choose not to receive these offers and have their name deleted from our mailing lists.

The individual also authorizes Tilbury Auto Mall to send personalized messages from time to time as well as our eBulletin and fax. These messages contain information about services offered by Tilbury Auto Mall and its partners that we think may be of interest to our Clients.

Consent

An individual’s knowledge and consent are necessary for the collection, use and disclosure of personal information. We only collect, use, or disclose personal information for purposes we believe would be considered appropriate under the circumstances.

Of course, an individual may choose to only provide us with some or portions of their personal information. However, this choice may not enable us to provide them with the product, service, or information that has been requested or that could be offered to them.

Third-Party Disclosure

The names, addresses and telephone numbers of our Clients may be transmitted to a trusted third-party mailing service in order to inform them of products and services that we offer and that we believe may interest to them.

Except as set out in this policy, or as required by law, Tilbury Auto Mall does not sell any personal information to any other organization and Tilbury Auto Mall will not transmit personal information to third parties without first obtaining written consent to do so. Tilbury Auto Mall may, however, disclose information in the following cases:

to another person for the development, enhancement, marketing or provision of any of Tilbury Auto Mall products or services on our behalf that we believe may be of interest to our Clients;
