ISE Metal Inc. is committed to protecting all personal information collected and used in the conduct of its business. Our Privacy Policy describes our standards for the collection, use, disclosure and retention of your personal information and your right of access to it.
Personal information is data concerning an “identifiable individual”. It is information that, alone or in combination with other data, identifies you as an individual. Professional information such as corporate e-mail addresses and business telephone numbers is not considered personal information within the meaning of the Act.
At ISE Metal, we respect your right to privacy and the confidentiality of your personal information. We are committed to protecting your personal information and using it only for the purposes for which it was collected. We want you to know for what purposes and in what ways we collect personal information and how it is stored, used and disclosed.
The Privacy Policy extends to all personal information collected by ISE Metal from the ISE Metal website (https://isemetal.com/, hereinafter: the “Site”) (the “Policy”). The Policy is subject to Quebec’s privacy legislation, the Act respecting the protection of personal information in the private sector (LPRPSP), as well as other applicable legislative and regulatory provisions.
The Policy complies with the laws set out in PIPEDA.
For residents of other Canadian provinces, the specific law of your province will apply or, in the absence of a specific law, the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA). If there are any inconsistencies between the Policy, your provincial law or PIPEDA, your provincial law or PIPEDA will apply.
For residents of EU countries, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) governs all data protection policies, regardless of where the site is located. The Policy is intended to comply with the GDPR. If there are any inconsistencies between the Policy and the RGPD, the RGPD will apply.
For residents of the State of California, this Policy is intended to comply with the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). If there are any inconsistencies between this document and the CCPA, state law will apply. If we find inconsistencies, we will modify our Policy to comply with the relevant law.
