Purpose of the Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy aims to inform our users about how we collect, use and protect their personal information.
To ensure this protection, LANGEVIN FOREST ensures that it asks for a person's consent before collecting, processing and disclosing information that could identify them.
The purposes and methods by which LANGEVIN FOREST , or anyone acting on its behalf, will handle their personal data are explained in this Policy. It is written in simple terms to ensure full understanding and informed consent from users.
Methods of obtaining consent
We ensure that we obtain consent before collecting personal information from anyone. This consent can be express or implied and can be given either by the individual themselves or by an authorized representative.
We request express consent, whether verbally, electronically, or in writing. However, implied consent can be inferred from an individual's actions or inactions. For example, providing a name and phone number to obtain a response is considered implied consent to the collection of that information. When determining the type of consent required, we assess the nature of the personal information, the purpose for its collection, and the expectations of an individual in a similar situation.
If we intend to use personal information for another reason, we will specify this new purpose and consent will be sought again.
In some situations, such as government requests, it may not be possible to obtain an individual's consent to process their personal information. We will never share this information outside the terms of this Policy unless required or permitted by law.
