This privacy policy (“Privacy Policy”) is designed to help you understand how Alam & Co
(“Alam & Co,” “we,” “us,” “our company”) collects, uses, and shares your personal
information and to help you understand and exercise your privacy rights.
This Privacy Policy applies to personal information processed by us on our website www.alamnco.com (“Website”) and related services. By visiting our Website or accessing our services, you are agreeing to the terms of this Privacy Policy. This Privacy Policy is incorporated by reference into the Alam & Co Terms of Use or other agreement governing the use of Alam & Co services.
Alam & Co is committed to respecting and protecting your privacy, confidentiality,
accuracy, and security that may be in our possession. We comply with the Canada
Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (“PIPEDA”), and the local
governing laws applicable in the various provinces in which we operate. Alam & Co’s
compliance applies to all partners, employees, contractors, and agents in providing
services to our clients. Therefore, any personal data in our possession or that we collect
is protected by our privacy policy.
Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Privacy Policy shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Alam & Co Terms of Use.
Personal Information
We, our contractors, and third-party hosts/platforms, may collect and store any
information you choose to put in an e-mail, contact form, or comment you send us (or
them) or to set up an account (e.g., name, e-mail address, telephone number, mailing
address). Our Website does not collect or store full payment information (but may store
partial, truncated credit card numbers), for which you will be directed to a payment
contractor. We, and/or our contractors, also collect data on how our Website is used and
its/their visitors/users: for example, number of page visits and duration, type of browser,
visitors’ devices’ Internet Protocol (“IP”) addresses (which include general location).
Some “usage data” comes through “cookies” (basically small data files sent to your device
when visiting our Website) and other technologies (we’ll refer to them collectively as
“cookies” for convenience), as described below. Our Website is not meant to collect
information that may be considered “sensitive” (as various jurisdictions may use the term),
nor any personal information from anyone under age 18.
Use of Personal Information
Alam & Co may collect, disclose, or use Personal Information for the following reasons:
– To exercise, to our best ability, client communication;
– To provide services to you and others, if applicable or retained;
– To perform our administrative responsibilities;
– To maintain information about potential employees or clients;
– To collect and use the Personal Data of our employees for administration purposes;
– For billing and accounting services relating to Alam & Co’s services;
– To send and advise you, our clients, and others of our courses, notices, seminars, special events, conferences, and newsletters, and to make them aware of our services;
– To send and communicate with you and others to send greetings, gifts, and cards from our company;
– For any other reasons for which we have your consent;
– For other purposes as permitted or required by applicable laws and regulations, including but not limited to complying with legal and regulatory requirements such as AntiMoney Laundering;
– Any other reason that may be required and is permitted by law
As do most websites, ours uses cookies. Some are necessary for the Website to operate,
others we use to help improve and secure our Website, others help us learn about and
market to our visitors. If you visit our Website from outside of Canada, we expect our
cookie management vendor (below) to block non-essential cookies by default (with your
option to grant consent via the cookie banner). Please see also the cookie policies of our
contractors and third party hosts/platforms.
Regardless of your location, you may also manage certain (non-essential) cookies by
adjusting your browser settings. Do Not Track (“DNT”) is an optional setting in a web
browser that expresses a preference that websites not track your on-line behavior
elsewhere. We expect our cookie management vendor to respect DNT and Global
Privacy Control browser settings for visitors to our Website. (If you have cookie-blocking
browser settings, our Website’s cookie banner may not show for you).
Particularly given the limited amount and type of information and data collected through
our Website, we may or may not have identified all possible uses, or restricted contractors’
or third party hosts/platforms own use or disclosure of information or data. We are not
responsible for the conduct or policies of our contractors (or their subcontractors) or of
third party hosts/platforms.
Retention of Personal Information
Alam & Co will not keep your personal information for any longer than is necessary to
fulfil the purpose for which the personal information was collected, to comply with any
legal, regulatory, or reporting obligations or to assert or defend against legal claims.
Transfer of Personal Information
We may store or process your data outside your city, province, state, or country, including
through one of our contractors (described below). Your personal information may be
stored in a jurisdiction that operates under privacy and data protection laws different from
(and potentially less protective than) those of your home jurisdiction.
Disclosure of Personal Information
We may disclose, with your consent, personal information to third parties when we
engage them in the course of providing you with our services. Alam & Co will not disclose
more information than is reasonably necessary, which is disclosing your personal
information. We will only disclose your personal information without your consent where
it is permitted or required by law.
Protection of Personal Information
We protect your personal information and implement appropriate technical precautions
and organizational security measures to protect such information.
We have an information security management system in place to protect your personal
information, which protects our files, and any information held within those files,
accessible only through a password-protected virtual private network. All our employees,
officers, and company members are trained only to collect and disclose personal
information when necessary to fulfill our client’s needs and in accordance with this privacy
policy statement. It is our duty, however, to bring to your awareness of potential risks
when providing personal information through emails, text messages, fax messages and
voice messages. Email, text messages, fax messages, and voice messages are not
secure mediums, and you should be aware of this when contacting us to send personal
or confidential information.
Alam & Co uses multiple service providers to operate our business and provide you with
our services. Such services include but are not limited to, cloud-based software, registry
and information management service providers, government online or in-person registry
systems, storage companies, couriers, process servers, search houses, building security,
building management, and cleaners. These providers have limited access to certain
personal information that is collected and must agree to protect your personal information
in accordance with privacy policies similar to this one.
Accessing and Correcting Your Personal Information
You can access and change contact information Alam & Co stores about you (i.e., e-mail
address) by emailing us at
[email protected].
Data Privacy Laws
We provide this Policy describing the processing of personal information in the interest of
transparency to users, including Website users. Doing so is not intended to suggest, and
does not mean that, legal responsibilities apply to Alam & Co that would not otherwise.
Standards for personal information are not the same in all jurisdictions and are rapidly
evolving and complex. Simply put, not all laws, including collection notice requirements,
apply to all entities, individuals, or information, in all locations, or in all circumstances.
Individuals in certain jurisdictions, inside and outside Canada, have certain rights when
entities governed by those laws process their “personal data” or “personal information”
(for example, pursuant to the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation
(“GDPR”), the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”), and other international and
U.S. State and federal laws, where applicable). (Depending on the jurisdiction, and
subject to various limitations, such rights may include, for example, to access/obtain a
copy, update/correct, or delete it; to object to/opt-out of certain processing (or not allow
certain processing without consent); to complain to a data protection authority; entities
which the CCPA defines as a “business” have special obligations to Californians including
more detailed notices than this, and if personal information is “sold,” or “shared” (meaning
for certain behavioral advertising) the opportunity to opt-out).
Amendment
You recognize that visiting the Website or using any other Alam & Co services, does not
restrict Alam & Co’s rights to revise its terms and policies. Alam & Co may change its
Terms of Use and/or Privacy Policy at any time by posting a new version on this page or
on a successor page. The new version will become effective on the date posted, which
will be listed at the top of the page as the new Effective Date.
