Privacy Policy

We recognize the importance of privacy and the sensitivity of personal information. We are committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy outlines how we manage your personal information and safeguard your privacy.

Effective January 1, 2004, all businesses engaged in commercial activities must comply with the Canadian government's Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act ("PIPEDA") and the Canadian Standards Association Model Code for the Protection of Personal Information that PIPEDA incorporates. This obligation extends to all Canadian businesses including IPSS. PIPEDA gives you rights concerning the privacy of your personal information.

Personal information includes information about an individual, but does not include the name, title, business address, phone number or email address of an employee of an organization.
Our privacy policy incorporates the 10 internationally recognized principles on which PIPEDA is based.

1. Accountability
We are responsible for the personal information under our control and has designated a Privacy Officer who is accountable for compliance with our Privacy Policy. We also require that comparable protection of personal information is in place with any third parties used by us to process such information.

2. Identifying Purposes
The purposes for which we collect personal information will be identified at or before the time the information is collected. These purposes presently include:

Informing individuals when readings by Joe or Linda
Updating people about news worthy events on Joe or Linda

Any new purposes will be identified prior to use for those purposes. Your consent will be obtained for the new uses, except where such uses are required by law.

3. Consent
Your knowledge and consent are required for the collection, use or disclosure of personal information, except where inappropriate.

We will specify the reasons for collection, use or disclosure. Your consent may be obtained, depending on the particular information and circumstances, orally or in writing, implied or expressed. Where information is sensitive we will obtain express consent.

4. Limiting Collection
The collection of personal information will be limited to the amount and type necessary for our purposes. The information will be collected by fair and lawful means. Wherever possible we will collect your personal information directly from you in the ordinary course of conducting our business.

5. Limited Use, Disclosure and Retention
Your personal information shall not be used or disclosed for purposes other than those for which it was collected, except with your consent or as required by law.

We use your personal information to provide and market our services to you and to administer your account with us if you are a client. If you advise us that you no longer wish to receive information about our services we will not send any further material.

We do not disclose your personal information to any third party to enable them to market their products or services. For example, we do not provide our client mailing lists to suppliers or other clients. The specialists whose resumes are listed on the site are not third parties.

Whenever we disclose your personal information to third parties for the purpose of providing services to us, we require such parties to maintain levels of confidentiality and security that are equivalent to our own practices.

Your personal information shall be retained only for as long as is necessary to complete the purposes for which it was collected, or as long as required by law. Personal information that is no longer required is discarded or destroyed using methods that protect your privacy (e.g. by paper shredding and/or deletion of electronic files).

6. Accuracy
The personal information managed by LovePlay shall be as accurate, complete and up-to-date as is necessary for the purposes for which it is being used.
If any of your personal information changes, we require details of those changes for our own uses and for the uses of third parties to whom such information is disclosed.
