CANADA CAREER TRAINING INC.
PERSONAL INFORMATION PROTECTION POLICY
Canada Career Training Inc. (“Canada Career Training”) is committed to the protection and safe keeping of the personal information entrusted to us by our users. We manage your personal information in accordance with Alberta’s Personal Information Protection Act and other applicable laws. This policy applies to both Canada Career Training as well as any person or entity providing services on our behalf and at our direction. A copy of this policy will be provided to any user upon request.
BY ENGAGING OUR SERVICES OR USING OUR WEBSITE, YOU AGREE TO AND ACCEPT ALL PRACTICES AS SET OUT IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY.
The definition of personal information
Personal information means information about an identifiable individual. This includes an individual’s name, home address and phone number, email address, age, gender, marital or family status, an identifying number, financial information, educational history, photos and pictures, and any other similar information.
What personal information do we collect?
We collect only the personal information that we require for the purposes of providing services to our users, including personal information needed to:
- Enable users to have access to our website, courses, and to any resources provided by Canada Career Training;
- Enable us to understand a user’s business, needs and goals, where applicable;
- Enable us to ensure we are providing students with all the relevant material they require for their educational training;
- Enable us to set up a student’s internet;
- Enable us to ship manuals or laptops to students;
- Allow us to communicate with students;
- Enable us to take payment from a user, where applicable;
- Track the use of trends present on the website and ensure its proper functionality.
The information that may be collected directly from the user by Canada Career Training will be information such as the individual’s name and email address, login information and password, shipping address, credit card number, billing address, phone number, case number, and business name where applicable. While not required, individuals also have the option to post additional personal information on Canada Career Training’s social media channels.
All information collected will be kept fully confidential. We will not share your private information with any third parties unless we are required as a result of our express obligations to do so (in which case it will be provided with strict obligations of confidentiality under the terms of a Non-Disclosure Agreement), or unless disclosure is necessary to fulfill the express purpose for which the information was disclosed (such as providing a user’s address to a third party shipping company). Your information will not be sold to third parties at any time or for any reason.
We attempt to inform our users, before or at the time of collecting personal information, of the purposes for which we are collecting the information. When such notification is not provided it is because the user has provided information for an obvious purpose – such as providing their name to set-up their account – or for a purpose as listed and agreed to in this policy.
We will make a reasonable effort to ensure that any personal information collected, used or disclosed is accurate and complete to the extent that is reasonable for our organization’s purpose.
We will only use personal information for purposes that are reasonable, and we will not disclose your personal information beyond what is necessary to provide the item or service that you have requested.
How do we collect the personal information about you?
We collect your personal information in the following ways:
- Where you provide the personal information directly to us, for example by way of email correspondence, phone conversation, or by submitting a form on our website;
- Where we track the use of trends on our website or email communications sent to you by Canada Career Training;
- Where we receive information from third party companies regarding the students who will be attending our courses; and
- By way of information received about you from other sources or third parties, such as public databases.
Canada Career Training may use cloud-computing services for data processing, storage and backup of your personal information, and is accountable for protecting your personal information that is within Canada Career Training’s immediate control. We do not currently utilize cookies. Canada Career Training will do its best to ensure your personal information is handled in accordance with this policy by working with providers who handle personal information consistent with privacy obligations under the relevant Alberta privacy legislations. However, since Canada Career Training may outsource its cloud computing solutions and it has no control over the operations of the cloud provider, Canada Career Training cannot take responsibility for how the cloud provider handles your personal information if it is not done so in accordance with this policy once it is moved to the provider. Canada Career Training will not be liable for any direct, indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages arising from the improper handling of your personal information.

We will at all times respect your decision.
We may collect, use or disclose personal information without consent only as authorized by law.

- To comply with any required provincial or federal COVID-19 regulations.
If we wish to use or disclose your personal information for any new purpose, we will ask for your consent, unless otherwise not required by law.
How do we safeguard personal information?
We make every reasonable effort to ensure that personal information is accurate and complete. We rely on individuals to notify us if there is a change to their personal information that may affect their relationship with our organization. If you are aware of an error in our information about you, please let us know and we will correct it on request wherever possible. In some cases, we may ask for a written request for correction.
We protect personal information in a manner appropriate for the sensitivity of the information. We make every reasonable effort to prevent any loss, misuse, disclosure or modification of personal information, as well as any unauthorized access to personal information.
We use appropriate security measures when destroying personal information, including shredding email records and permanently deleting electronic records.
However, if at any time, through no fault of Canada Career Training, our website is hacked in any way and personal information is released, or our offices are broken into and personal information is releasd, so long as Canada Career Training has taken reasonable and appropriate methods to safeguard its personal information, Canada Career Training shall not be held liable for these results.
