Translucent General Privacy Statement
Translucent Computing Inc. (“Translucent”) is governed by the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (“PIPEDA”), and the Canadian Standards Association Model Code for the Protection of Personal Information, which it incorporates. The law gives you rights concerning the privacy of your personal information.
As a technology and business intelligence company that provides services for institutions, our customers may be subject to other legislation that protects personal information. Translucent complies with the privacy requirements of its customers upon notice of the relevant legislation and requirements. Translucent may have the role of a recipient of personal information or of an agent for its customers, depending on the circumstances.
Translucent is responsible for the personal information we collect and hold. To ensure this accountability, we have developed this privacy statement, and trained our staff about our policies and practices.
The language used in this privacy statement is based on Canadian legal terms. Personal information is defined in PIPEDA as “information about an identifiable individual”.
Translucent respects that potentially identifiable information (i.e., that could be used with other information to identify an individual) may be protected under laws applicable to Translucent’s customers or users.
Translucent collects or has access to the following data that may include personal information:
