• Policy Statement

  Royal St. George’s College has adopted these Privacy Principles, which apply to the collection, use and disclosure of personal information.
  
  

  Royal St. George’s College believes that privacy is crucial for the ongoing success of Internet commerce. Our status as an Internet merchant account provider and certified payment gateway requires us to have a stringent policy regarding all of the information that we collect.
  
  

  Your use of this site or Royal St. George’s College’s services constitutes acceptance of these terms and conditions. If you do not agree with these policies, please cease using this site immediately.
  
  

  Royal St. George’s College reserves the right to amend these policies from time to time. If such amendments affect how Royal St. George’s College uses or discloses personal information already held by Royal St. George’s College in a material and adverse way over and above previous express or implied consent, Royal St. George’s College will contact you to obtain consent. Notwithstanding the terms of this policy, the collection, use, and disclosure of personal information may be made outside of the terms herein to the extent provided for in the Canadian Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act, and other relevant Canadian and Ontario legislation in effect from time to time. These exemptions include, without limitation, publicly available information, or information disclosed for criminal or civil investigations or compliance with law or court orders.
  
  

  Royal St. George’s College takes reasonable precautions to ensure your privacy on the terms contained in this policy. Royal St. George’s College uses reasonable efforts to, but cannot totally prevent, unintended disclosures by such means as hackers and other unauthorized individuals, and inadvertent or illicit employee actions.

• Cardholder Provided Information

  Our electronic purchase service requires that cardholders provide contact information (including without limitation: name, address, city, state or province, postal code, country, telephone and email), and financial information (including without limitation: name on credit card, credit card number and expiry date), and ordering information. This information is collected and used to process the transaction and for internal accounting and other procedures. Following a transaction, we may contact cardholders by phone or email for security purposes.
  

• Merchant Provided Information

  Our site’s merchant application form requires merchant applicants to provide contact information (including without limitation: company name, contact name, address, city, province, country, postal code, telephone number, fax number, email address and website address), financial information (including without limitation: GST number, PST number, merchant number, transit number and discount rate, and banking information) and general business information (including without limitation business type, social insurance number, years in business, principles of organisation, delivery type, description of products and/or services and minimum & maximum transaction amounts).
  
  We use information collected from the merchant to send the merchant information about Royal St. George’s College, to contact the merchant for various reasons, and for internal accounting and other procedures. Information is used to check the merchant’s eligibility for our service and to obtain and verify further information from financial institutions and credit reporting agencies or bureaus in regard to the application, and to support the ongoing provision of service. Such information may be provided to such third parties for those purposes. It is also used for login validation purposes.
