Privacy Policy

Last Updated: 11/11/19

Application

  1. This Privacy Statement applies to any individual who accesses the website located at www.seglobal.ca which is owned or operated by SE Global Supply Chain Solutions.
  2. The term “personal information” has the meaning attributed to it under Part I of the federal Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (“PIPEDA”). Where a province or territory has enacted legislation that is substantially similar to Part I of PIPEDA, such as Alberta’s Personal Information Protection Act, British Columbia’s Personal Information Protection Act, or Quebec’s Act respecting the protection of personal information in the private sector, and that statute has application to your personal information that SE Global Supply Chain Solutions collects, stores, uses or discloses, then the term “personal information” has the meaning attributed to it in that legislation.
  3. This Privacy Statement applies to any individual who corresponds with SE Global Supply Chain Solutions, enters into a contest sponsored by SE Global Supply Chain Solutions, or uses any products or services offered by SE Global Supply Chain Solutions.  It explains how personal information about you may be collected, used, or disclosed by SE Global Supply Chain Solutions as a consequence of your activities on this website and as a consequence of the operation by SE Global Supply Chain Solutions of its various commercial activities.

Protection of Personal Information

  1. Canadian law governs the collection, use and disclosure of personal information in a manner that recognizes individuals’ right of privacy with respect to their personal information.
  2. The type of personal information that is protected includes almost any information by which an individual can be identified, such as the individual’s name, address, telephone number, age, sex, marital status and nationality. Personal information may not, however, include certain types of business or employment related information. It may not, for example, include the name, title, business address or business telephone number of an employee of an organization.
  3. Certain fundamental principles apply to the collection, use and disclosure of your personal information. One of the most significant is that your personal information generally cannot be collected, used or disclosed without your consent. It also allows you to find out why your personal information is being collected, how it is being used, where it’s being stored and to whom it’s disclosed. It requires the use of appropriate safeguards to secure your personal information. It also grants you access to your personal information and provides mechanisms for ensuring compliance.
  4. SE Global Supply Chain Solutions does not collect, use or disclose your personal information without your consent except where required by law.

What Information Does SE Global Supply Chain Solutions Collect?

  1. SE Global Supply Chain Solutions collects such personal information as is required for the purposes identified in this Privacy Policy, or as is identified at the time that SE Global Supply Chain Solutions collects the information from you.
  2. Although SE Global Supply Chain Solutions sometimes offers products or services jointly with SE Global Supply Chain Solutions vendors, advertisers and other business partners, or informs you of products or services that third parties offer and that SE Global Supply Chain Solutions feels may be of interest to you, these third parties never have access to the personal information that is collected from you unless it is made clear at the time that the information is collected (e.g. the sponsor of a contest administered by or co-branded with SE Global Supply Chain Solutions may contact you regarding its products or services, that the sponsor might contact you directly if you enter the contest).  If you prefer not to learn about such products or services, and you no longer wish to receive these types of communications from SE Global Supply Chain Solutions, you always have the option to request that SE Global Supply Chain Solutions exclude you from such further communication.
  3. SE Global Supply Chain Solutions may, from time to time, ask you to provide general information about yourself to assist in meeting your needs or to better understand the requirements, profiles and experience of Site visitors. This information includes information that is collected if you choose to participate in a survey, if you ask to receive newsletters or ask to be kept updated about new developments or services offered by SE Global Supply Chain Solutions or its partners, or if you contact SE Global Supply Chain Solutions.
  4. You can visit this Site without telling SE Global Supply Chain Solutions who you are and without providing SE Global Supply Chain Solutions with any information about yourself. However, certain anonymous information (“Anonymous Information”) may be collected by SE Global Supply Chain Solutions automatically.  For example, SE Global Supply Chain Solutions’ Web servers may collect the IP address and the name of the Internet service provider (“ISP”) associated with the computer from which you accessed a Site, the type and version of Web browser and operating system that you are using, and the address of the Web site that you visited prior to the SE Global Supply Chain Solutions Site. If your Web browser is configured to accept cookies, SE Global Supply Chain Solutions may place either temporary cookies (only until you exit your current browser window) or permanent cookies (until you manually disable or delete the cookie using your browser software) on your computer. A “cookie” is a small piece of information that a SE Global Supply Chain Solutions Web server automatically sends to your browser for storage on your computer, which then permits a SE Global Supply Chain Solutions Web server to recall information about your preferences as a part of the Anonymous Information. Please note that portions of the SE Global Supply Chain Solutions Sites may not function if you do not accept cookies.
  5. With the exception of the Anonymous Information described above, you will always know when SE Global Supply Chain Solutions is collecting information from you and therefore have the opportunity not to provide the information.
  6. SE Global Supply Chain Solutions does not knowingly solicit information from children and does not knowingly market its products and services to minors.
