CRH is committed to protect the privacy of all personal information in compliance with the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (“PIPEDA”).

Purposes:

In the course of its work, it is necessary for CRH to collect and use a variety of personal information. For example:

• In sales and marketing, customer information is collected to be able to communicate with them and provide business information as needed.
• In accounting, personal information is collected to process supplier payments, payroll and to invoice members.
• In HR, CRH uses personal information gathered in the screening process to determine the most qualified and best-suited candidate for a position.

CRH recognizes the importance and obligations that accompany such disclosures and commits to safeguarding and protecting personal information and to ensuring that it is used only for the intended purposes.

Accountability:

Ultimately, the Clinical Supervisor is responsible for the privacy policy and ensuring adherence to its principles. In the normal course of business, individuals within CRH are given the responsibility to gather, process and protect personal information. Accordingly, all employees are responsible for respecting this policy and for protecting personal information using the appropriate security safeguards and will be held accountable for breaches in confidentiality. Breach of this policy will result in disciplinary action up to and including termination.

Consent:

Individuals who provide personal information to CRH will be informed of the purpose of collecting such information. If the purpose of the collection of their personal information is obvious, their consent will be implied, for example: applying to a job advertisement, collecting member information for invoicing.

Internally, employees sign several employment related forms and by so doing, implicitly and expressly consent to the use of personal information in the management of their relationship with CRH, such as in the delivery of payroll. Employees also expressly consent to adhere to CRH policies when they sign the Acknowledgement Form provided with this Handbook.

Limiting Use, Disclosure and Retention:

Personal information will be used for the purposes for which it was collected. CRH will not release personal information to third parties unless it is for the purposes identified to the individual or is required to do so under government laws or regulations. Personal information will be kept in accordance with CRA and other provincial and federal guidelines.
