Privacy Policy

Intent
Protecting the privacy and confidentiality of personal information is an important aspect of the way Jordan Station Design Co.
conducts its business. Collecting, using, and disclosing personal information appropriately, responsibly, and ethically is
fundamental to the company’s daily operations.

The company strives to protect and respect personal information of its customers, employees, business partners, and so on in
accordance with all applicable statutory requirements. All employees must abide by the procedures and practices set out
below while handling personal information.

Guidelines

This policy outlines the company’s commitment to privacy and establishes the methods by which privacy is ensured. This
policy applies to all employee personal information in the company’s care, custody, and control.

Personal information is any factual or subjective identifying information about an individual or group of individuals. This can
include name, date of birth, address, income, e-mail address, social insurance number, gender, evaluations, credit records, and
so forth.

Business information is confidential information related to a specific business that is not readily available to the public, such as
names of executive officers, business registration numbers, proprietary information, and financial status. Business information
is treated and handled with the same level of confidentiality, privacy, and respect as personal information.

Consent occurs and is considered obtained by Jordan Station Design Co. when an individual provides express consent orally, in
writing, or through an applicable online action. Before being asked to provide consent, individuals will be provided with the
reasons their personal information is being collected, how it will be used and stored, and any disclosure or possible disclosure
of the information.

Implied consent is granted by the individual where consent may reasonably be inferred from the action or inaction of the
individual. Where possible, this should always be followed up by a Jordan Station Design Co. representative to obtain express
consent.

Appropriate Use

Jordan Station Design Co. collects and uses personal information solely for the purpose of conducting business and developing
an understanding of its customers. The company hereby asserts that personal information may only be used for the following
purposes:
• In order to facilitate the design and technical documents as it relates to the practice of Architecture.
• In order to liaise with other industry consultants in the clients' best interest.
• In order to facilitate an emergency or urgent response where we believe the client would consent.

Policy Statements

Jordan Station Design Co. assumes full accountability for the personal information within its possession and control. The
company has appointed Jordan Heckman as custodian of all privacy matters and legal compliance with privacy laws.
In the course of conducting its business, the company may have to obtain personal information directly from the individual to
whom the information belongs. Individuals whose personal information is being collected are at all times entitled to know how
the company uses their personal information and that the use of any personal information collected is limited to only what is
needed for those stated purposes. If necessary, Jordan Station Design Co. will obtain individual consent if personal information
is to be used for any other purpose.

The company will not use that information without the consent of the individual.

Under no circumstances will the company sell, distribute, or otherwise disclose personal information, including personal
contact information or employee lists, to third parties, unless required to do so by law. This may include consultants, suppliers,
or business partners of the company, but only with the understanding that these parties obey and abide by this policy, to the
extent necessary of fulfilling their own business duties and day-to-day operations.

The company will retain personal information only for the duration it is needed for conducting its business and ensuring
statutory compliance. Once personal information is no longer required, it will be destroyed promptly, safely, and securely.
However, certain laws may require that certain personal information be kept for a specified amount of time. Where this is the
case, the law will supersede this policy.

​

The company will take every reasonable precaution to protect personal information with appropriate security measures,
physical safeguards, and electronic precautions. The company maintains personal information through a combination of paper
and electronic files. Where required by legislation or disaster recovery or business continuity policies, older records may be
stored in a secure, offsite location.

Jordan Station Design Co. will ensure:

• Access to personal information is authorized only for the employees and other agents of the company who require the
information to perform their job duties, and to those otherwise authorized by law;

• The company’s computer network systems and databases are secured by complex passwords and firewalls to which only
authorized individuals may access;

• Active physical files are kept in locked filing cabinets;

• Routers and servers connected to the Internet are protected by a firewall, and are further protected against virus attacks or
“snooping” by sufficient software solutions;

• Personal information is not transferred to employees, volunteers, summer students, or any other person in the company
unless authorized.

The Jordan Station Design Co. website will include our privacy policy and disclose our personal information practices.
Individuals adding data into the website will be notified about:

• Personally identifiable information about the individual that is collected from the website or through affiliate sites;

• Information about the organization collecting the data;

• How the data will be used;

• To whom the data may or may not be disclosed;

• What options are available to the individual regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of personal information;

• The information technology security procedures in place that protect against the destruction, loss, theft, alteration, or misuse
of personal information under the company’s possession and control; and

• How the individual may access and correct any inaccuracies in their personal information.

In addition, Jordan Station Design Co. will explain that the company may share compiled demographic information with its
business partners or advertisers, but no personal information that can identify any individual person will be disclosed. While IP
addresses will be logged in order to administer the site, track visitor movement, and gather demographic information, but
these IP addresses will not be linked to any personally identifiable information. Any registration or order form asking site
visitors to enter personal or financial information will be protected by SSL encryption. Site visitors may opt out of having their
personal information used at the point where the information is gathered.

In most instances, Jordan Station Design Co. will grant individuals access to personal information in the care, custody, and
control of the company upon presentation of a written request and satisfactory identification. If an individual finds errors of fact
with their personal information, they should notify the company as soon as possible to make the appropriate corrections.
If the company denies an individual’s request for access to their personal information, the company will advise in writing of
the reason for such a refusal. The individual may then challenge the decision.

Jordan Station Design Co. may use personal information without the individual’s consent under particular circumstances. These
situations include, but are not limited to:

• The collection is clearly in the interests of the individual and consent cannot be obtained in a timely way;

• The personal information was produced by the individual in the course of their employment, business, or profession, and the
collection is consistent with the purposes for which the information was provided;

• The collection is made for the purpose of making a disclosure required by law; or

• Any other reason as defined in applicable legislation

Any questions or concerns regarding this policy can be addressed by contacting Jordan Station Design Co. at
info@jordanstationdesignco.ca. The company will investigate and respond to concerns about any aspect of the handling of
personal information. This organization will address concerns to the best of its abilities.
