PRIVACY POLICY

This privacy policy brochure is made under the regulations of PIPEDA (The Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act; Canada) and information gleaned from related acts PHIPA (e.g., The Personal Health Information Protection Act; Ontario).

A. PROTECTING PERSONAL INFORMATION

We understand the importance of protecting personal information, and we are firmly committed to it. Rejoining Joy Publishing, Inc.’s Customer Privacy Policy has been developed as an extension of our commitment to combine the finest quality products and services with the highest level of integrity in dealing with our customers. Your personal information will be used only with Rejoining Joy Publishing, Inc., to help complete transactions with us, and to send updates.

What is most important is that, unlike what commercial businesses often do, we do not sell lists of personal information to telemarketers and other such businesses. Your identifying information will not be sold or rented to any party.

Furthermore, we have taken the following steps:

• Paper information is either under supervision or secured in a locked or restricted area at all times.
• Electronic hardware is either under supervision or secured in a locked or restricted area at all times.
• In addition, passwords are used on computers.
• All of our cell phones are digital as these signals are more difficult to intercept.
• Paper information is transmitted through sealed, addressed envelopes in the public mail, or in boxes by reputable courier companies. They are marked “Private and Confidential”.
• Electronic information is transmitted either through a direct line, or has identifiers removed, or is encrypted.
• Staff are trained to collect, use, and disclose personal information only as necessary to fulfill their duties and in accordance with our privacy policy.
• External consultants and agencies with access to personal information must enter into privacy agreements with us.

Particulars

This Privacy Statement is designed to tell individuals with whom we may interact in the course of our business as well as others who purchase our products about our practices regarding collection, use, and disclosure of your personal information, including information you provide over the telephone, by mail, or facsimile and via our Web Site. Rejoining Joy Publishing, Inc. maintains these web sites: http://www.rejoiningjoy.com, and http://www.rejoiningjoy.ca (the “Web Sites”). This Privacy Statement does not apply to personal information about our employees or information that is not personal information.

What personal information will we collect?

We collect personal information from you that you provide voluntarily to us. Such personal information might include personal contact information, such as name, address, and telephone number; your personally identifiable comments/ questions about our products and services, and information required to order our products and services (including credit card information). Information regarding method of payment is collected solely to process orders for products.

We collect personal information about guests and visitors for business purposes. Specifically, visitors to our offices could be asked to provide their name, telephone number, and email.

In some cases, we may collect information about you that is not personal information. Examples of this type of information include the type of Internet Browser you are using.

In addition, please remember that any personal information that is voluntarily posted to any public area of the Web Sites – such as a chat room – may always be accessible to other visitors. There is nothing we can do to prevent collection, use or disclosure of this information by those visitors.

How will we use and disclose the personal information we collect?

We use and disclose this personal information for the following purposes:

(a) to fulfill your orders, to process your credit card payments, and to collect amounts you owe;

(b) to assess your eligibility for credit that you may have requested from us (not applicable now);

(c) to respond to your requests for information and service and to communicate with you;

(d) to carry out internal financial processes, including to credit our sales representatives;

(e) for internal research to better understand your needs and ways in which we can improve our products, services, and Web Sites;

(f) to manage and administer our business;

(h) as permitted or required by law; to enforce our Terms of Use and Terms of Sale and other agreements; and for fraud protection and credit risk reduction;

(i) We might also use or disclose your personal information for other purposes, which we will disclose at the time of collection, or later on, through updates to you.

Your consent

Your consent to the collection, use and disclosure of personal information may be given in various ways. Consent can be express (express consent may be oral, in writing or electronic), implied (such as when you provide your name and address in order for us to send you products you have ordered or information you have requested) and, in some cases, may be given by your authorized representative (such as a legal guardian or a person having a power of attorney). Generally, if you provide us with your personal information, we will assume that you consent to our collection, use and disclosure of such information as described in this Privacy Policy, if applicable, or otherwise at the time of collection.

Collection, Use, or Disclosure Without Your Consent:
In certain limited circumstances our collection, use, or disclosure of your personal information without consent is permitted or required by law, for example, to collect a debt you owe to us or to comply with a subpoena or court order.

What if I do not want my personal information collected, used, or disclosed?
If you do not want your personal information collected, used, or disclosed by us, please do one of the following the procedures to “opt out” from the particular purposes of use and disclosure. (1) If you do not want this information used for updates, tell us verbally, by email, in writing, or any means at Privacy Official, Rejoining Joy Publishing, Inc., 106-1333 Sheppard Ave. East., Toronto, Ontario, Canada, M2J 1V1.

You may withdraw your consent, subject to legal or contractual restrictions and reasonable notice.

Please understand, that without your consent, we may not be able to provide certain goods or services to you. For example, if you do not provide consent to collect and use personal information necessary to process an order that you wish to place, or if you withdraw your consent to uses that are necessary to fulfill your request, we will not be able to process your order or to supply those products to you.

B. SECURITY

We will protect your personal information using physical, electronic, or managerial procedures designed to protect the integrity, security, and appropriate use of your personal information; and to prevent theft, loss, unauthorized access, disclosure, copying, and use or modification. Authorized employees, agents, and mandataries who require the personal information will be permitted to access personal information, to fulfil the purpose for which the information was collected and the purposes disclosed in the section above entitled “How will we use and disclose the personal information we collect?”. We will retain your personal information as is required for these purposes, subject to reasonable legal limitation periods and statutory or regulatory retention requirements and our document retention policies.

Although we have enacted security measures for our Web Sites, we cannot guarantee the absolute security of our Web Sites or the security of information that you submit (or that we send to you) over the Internet, because no Internet transmission is ever 100% secure or error-free.
