Privacy Policy
Introduction
Protecting the privacy and the confidentiality of personal information—over the Internet, on the telephone, or through our offices—has always been fundamental to the way Toursec conducts its affairs. Toursec operates on the basis of a Privacy Policy and related procedures that guide the handling of the personal information collected. This privacy statement has been created to demonstrate Toursec’s firm commitment to protecting the privacy of its potential Website visitors. This policy and related procedures are consistent with the Canadian Standards Association Model Code for the Protection of Personal Information (herein “CSA Model Code) and applicable privacy legislation.
Privacy Statement
This policy deals only with personal information overseen by Toursec. Personal information is information about an identifiable individual, excluding business contact information. The following explains how Toursec oversees personal information. Toursec reserves the right to change this policy and it may be updated periodically. These changes may affect the use of personal information. Accordingly, please check for changes regularly.

Limits for Collecting, Using, Disclosing and Keeping Personal Information
Toursec does not collect, use, or disclose the personal information of individuals except when individuals give consent and provide the information on a voluntary basis.
Toursec may disclose personal information collected by it without the knowledge or consent of the individual, for example to its lawyers; for purposes relating to an investigation under, the enforcement of or the administration of a law or where required by law to disclose the information. Toursec will not use or disclose personal information without the knowledge or consent of the individual except as authorized by applicable law.
Any personal information that Toursec retains is kept in such a manner as to ensure its security and confidentiality at all times.
Safeguarding Personal Information
Toursec respects the privacy of its potential website visitors and internet users and will protect that privacy as vigorously as possible. Personal information is stored in electronic and physical files that are secure. Security measures include secure locks on filing cabinets, and using industry standard techniques such as firewalls, encryption, intrusion detection and restricted access to computers. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while Toursec strives to protect personal information, it cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information transmitted to it or received from it electronically. This is especially true for information transmitted via e-mail. Toursec has no way of protecting that information until it reaches it. Once a transmission is received, Toursec makes its best efforts to ensure its security on its servers. Internally, access to personal information is restricted to employees who need access to the information in order to do their jobs. These employees are limited in number and are knowledgeable about and committed to our privacy policies.
Accuracy of and Access to Personal Information Collected
Toursec makes every effort to keep personal information as accurate, complete, current, and relevant as necessary for the identified purposes. Toursec does not routinely update personal information.
Toursec makes readily available to individuals its Privacy Policy and related procedures for managing personal information. Any questions about the handling of personal information by Toursec can be raised with the Privacy Officer.
Questions
Any questions or comments about Toursec’s overseeing of personal information should be directed to the Privacy Officer.
