Privacy Statement
At OCR, providing our customers and web site visitors with useful information
without infringing on privacy is of the utmost importance. OCR safeguards the
security of the data you send us with physical, electronic and management
procedures.
The following policies are in effect for the web pages and online services
operated by OCR Canada Ltd (hereafter referred to as OCR).
OCR is committed to maintaining the trust and confidence of its customers and
web site visitors. That is why we want you to understand the actions we take to
protect your privacy and to ensure data security when we collect and use
information about you. Because your privacy is important, OCR will not disclose,
sell, rent, trade or share your personal information except as outlined in this
Privacy Statement. Where OCR engages third parties or uses subsidiaries to
perform services on our behalf, we will require them to observe the intent of
this Privacy Statement and Anti-Spam Policy.
Please take a moment to read the following Privacy Statement and Anti-Spam
Policy to learn how we handle your personal information.
What information does OCR collect and how will it be used?
OCR may collect the following types of personal information when you interact
with us online or complete an online form: name, job title, company name,
department, e-mail address, physical mailing address, telephone number.
This information is only used to respond to your requests for information on
products and services offered by OCR or to provide you with after-sales service.
OCR will not share this information with other organizations unless the
information that you have requested requires us to do so. We will not use your
contact details to forward to you information that was not requested by you.
In addition, OCR also collects non-personal information about your computer
hardware and software. This information may include: your IP address, browser
type, operating system, domain name, access times and referring web site
addresses. This information is used for the operation of the service, to
maintain quality of the service, and to provide general statistics regarding use
of our web sites. OCR also collects non-personal information about which pages
our customers visit within our web sites. Our web servers do not record e-mail
addresses or other personal information unless it is willingly provided by the
individual when filling out a web form. OCR will not share your information with
other organizations without your prior approval.
OCR may forward your Contact Information and Professional Data to a
distributor in your region so that products and services can be offered.
OCR’s web sites contain hyperlinks to other web sites. OCR is not responsible
for the privacy policies or content of such web sites, or how they treat
information about their users. OCR does not share any of your individual
personal information with the web sites to which OCR links, except as stated
elsewhere within this Privacy Statement. Please check with the hyperlinked sites
to determine their privacy policies.
From time to time, OCR may be required to provide personally identifiable
information in response to a court order, subpoena, or government investigation.
We also reserve the right to report to law enforcement agencies any activities
that we in good faith believe to be unlawful. OCR may release personally
identifiable information when we believe that such release is reasonably
necessary to enforce or apply our terms and conditions or to protect the rights,
property and safety of others and ourselves.
Anti-Spam Policy
OCR maintains a strict no-spam policy. If you receive unsolicited email from
OCR, our affiliated worldwide offices or our distributors, please notify us at
info@ocr.ca. Include the offending email with all the headers intact.
Please be aware that it is not uncommon for spammers to hide behind someone
else's email account, as well as use mail servers that they do not own.
Changes to this Statement
OCR will occasionally update this Privacy Statement and Anti-Spam Policy. When
we do, we will also revise the “Last updated” date at the top of this Statement
to ensure that you are viewing the most current version. For material changes to
this statement, OCR will notify you by placing prominent notice on our web
sites.
Your Consent to this Agreement
By using any of OCR’s web sites, you consent to the collection and use of
information by OCR as specified above. Your information may be stored and
processed in Canada or any other country in which OCR or its affiliates,
subsidiaries, or distributors maintain facilities, and by using this site, you
consent to any such transfer of information outside of your country. OCR abides
by the Safe Harbor Framework as set forth by the U.S. Department of Commerce
regarding the collection, use, and retention of data from the European Union.
