Privacy Statement
Descheneaux Insurance Recruiters Ltd. has policies and procedures that govern the collection, use, and disclosure of personal information. Our strict code of ethics paired with our company policies ensure that we meet or exceed Canadian privacy laws.
There are two federal laws that protect the personal information of Canadians.
The two laws are the Privacy Act and the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA). Together, they are collectively known as privacy legislation, and have the following mandates:
- individuals must consent to the collection and use of their personal information;
- organizations conducting business must have policies and procedures that protect personal information;
