RTO/ERO PRIVACY CODE
Privacy Statement
RTO/ERO values the relationship it has with its members and therefore is
committed to respecting your privacy. We protect this privacy by maintaining
personal information in the strictest confidence and securing it using
appropriate safeguards. RTO/ERO does not share members’ information with other
organizations without your consent.
Collection, Use and Disclosure of Information
RTO/ERO collects, uses and discloses personal information only for those
purposes necessary to administer membership and in accordance with the Personal
Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (January 1, 2004). This
information includes, but is not limited to: Name, Address, Telephone, Email,
Date of Birth, Date of Retirement, and Social Insurance Number (required by
Teachers’ Pension Plan to directly deduct your annual membership fee, if
appropriate) Collection of this information allows RTO/ERO to establish and
maintain communications with members, provide ongoing programs and services, and
respond to inquiries. Personal information collected from members prior to the
implementation of the Act is subject to the Act. Since it has already been
collected, RTO/ERO assumes the right to continue to use and disclose such
personal information, unless notified otherwise by individual members.
Safety and Security Measures
RTO/ERO has developed, implemented and reviewed its security procedures to
ensure that members’ personal information is protected against loss, theft, and
unauthorized access or disclosure. These procedures include physical measures
such as the use of locked cabinets; technological tools such as computer
passwords and firewalls; and internal organizational controls such as restricted
access.
Accessing Personal Information
RTO/ERO members have the right to access and amend personal information. You may
withdraw consent, at any time, to the collection, use or disclosure of personal
information, understanding that RTO/ERO, upon request, will explain the
implications of withdrawing such consent, as it may hamper or prevent the
provision of service.
Contact for Further Information
In accordance with the Act, RTO/ERO has appointed a Privacy Officer who will
ensure that we comply with all aspects of the legislation and continue to uphold
all of the principles for protecting members’ personal information. Individual
members may contact RTO/ERO to ask questions about, access or amend personal
information, withdraw consent on having information used, or file a complaint on
this use. Questions and concerns should be directed to RTO/ERO’s Privacy
Officer, Executive Director, Harold Brathwaite or designate Simon Leibovitz,
Information Officer at privacy@rto-ero.org
or 416.962.9463/1.800.361.9888.
