Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 30, 2024

Dr. Leah Zalan Psychology Professional Corporation ("Dr Zalan", "us", "we" or "our") values and respects the privacy of individuals. This Privacy Policy sets out how we comply with data protection laws, including Canada’s Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (the "Data Protection Legislation").

This Privacy Policy outlines our policies and procedures for collecting, using, storing and disclosing personal information of individuals. In this Privacy Policy, "Personal Information" refers to information about identifiable individuals and information which can be used, on its own or in combination with other information, to identify an individual. This Privacy Policy only applies to use of this website.

We may amend this Privacy Policy from time to time. Please visit this page if you want to stay up to date, as we will post any changes here. We do not have contact information for website visitors and will not be able to notify you of changes to our Privacy Policy.

1. OUR COLLECTION AND USE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

Our primary purpose for collecting and using Personal Information is to provide visitors information about Dr. Zalan and allow initial pre-client contact between a potential client and Dr. Zalan.

We rely on our Customers to comply with all applicable privacy laws when collecting, using, or disclosing Personal Information through the website.

2. WHAT KIND OF PERSONAL INFORMATION DO WE COLLECT AND USE?

We collect and use Personal Information in the course of providing access to the Website.

For visitors we collect the following:

IP Address
Browser user agent identification information
Preferred language information provided by your browser
Any information you willingly provide through the Contact form

3. COOKIES

We utilize cookies to allow you to navigate and use this Website. We do not use cookies to monitor you.

4. INFORMATION SHARING & DISCLOSURE

We make every effort to minimize information sharing. However, it's a reality that Dr. Zalan must rely upon 3rd party service providers and comply with its legal obligations.

With respect to 3rd party services providers, we'll share information with them in order to provide the services such as:

Website hosting
Data storage
DNS and traffic proxying
Email delivery and processing

5. HOW DO WE SAFEGUARD YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?

We are committed to taking all reasonable and appropriate steps to protect the Personal Information that we hold from misuse, loss, destruction or unauthorized access and disclosure. We do this by having in place a range of appropriate technical and organizational measures. These include measures to deal with any suspected data breach. We encrypt the transmission of information.

We restrict access to Personal Information on a need-to-know basis to employees and authorized service providers who require access to fulfill their job requirements.

6. HOW LONG DO WE KEEP YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION FOR?

We will not keep your Personal Information for longer than we are permitted to do so under our agreement with our Customers or as is necessary for the purposes for which we have collected it unless we believe that the law or other regulation requires us to preserve it (for example, because of a request by a tax authority or in connection with any anticipated litigation) or if we require it to enforce our agreements.

When we are no longer permitted under our agreement with our Customer or it is otherwise no longer necessary to retain your Personal Information for the purpose(s) for which it was collected, we will delete or anonymize the Personal Information that we hold about you from our systems. While we will endeavor to permanently erase your Personal Information once it reaches the end of its retention period, some of your Personal Information may still exist within our systems for a limited period of time, for example if it is waiting to be overwritten. For our purposes, this data has been put beyond use, meaning that, while it still exists in the electronic ether, our employees will not have any access to it or use it again.

7. WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR PROCESSING YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION AND CONTACT INFORMATION

If you would like further information about how we handle your Personal Information, if you have any concerns regarding this Privacy Policy, or the manner in which we or our service providers (including our service providers outside of Canada) treat your personal information, or if you wish to exercise your legal rights or unsubscribe from our marketing communications, please contact us through our "Contact" page. Please outline to us your concerns and we will be in touch to discuss the matter.
