Full Privacy Policy

PHILLIP BOUCHER is dedicated to protecting your privacy. The confidentiality and accuracy of your personal information is my highest priority. I take great care and provisions in keeping your personal information private, protected, and accurate. This mandatory privacy policy complies with the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) of the Government of Canada.

I collect, use, and disclose personal information only to enable myself to do business with you and on your behalf, or as required by law. I collect only necessary  information such as your name, address, billing address, phone number, fax number, mobile number or email address, so I can correspond with you, ship products, send invoices, and otherwise identify you in my records. For authors I collect other personal information such as educational or personal background, date of birth, nationality, photo or picture, or other such information for the promotion and advertising, and business activities of the company for, or on behalf of, the author, and as required by law. For clients, I may collect any or all of the above information, plus any other personal or business information that may be necessary to conduct business for, or on behalf of, the client. All personal and business information is treated with the same respect to privacy and confidentiality.

All personal information is restricted access and is kept off line either in secured digital or paper format. I do not sell, give, or provide any client's information to any third parties who may use it for any direct marketing or other similar types of use. Client information is strictly for my own business use between the client and myself, or on the client's behalf with any other third party. I ensure that any other third party understands my commitment to the protection of my clients' personal information and work together with any third party to protect that information.

I keep personal information on file for as long as reasonably necessary, or as required by law. Once personal information is no longer needed, it is destroyed. 

To collect, use, and disclose your personal information I need your consent, which is either implied or expressed. For example, implied consent would be when you send me an email, letter, or call. You are giving your implied consent for me to collect, use, and disclose your personal information that you provide in that correspondence to enable me to respond to your contact and provide you with the information pertaining to your communication. Your information will not be used in any other way. You also give me implied consent to retain that information to enable me to contact you for further correspondence related to your initial contact. An example of express consent would be when one of my authors in their contract gives me express consent to use their personal information to enable me to promote themselves and their work through press releases, reviews, interviews, and postings. Personal and business information express consent for clients is covered in standard and non-disclosure contract clauses.

Barring any contractual obligations or legal requirements, you have the right to refuse to provide personal information to me, and if I am given reasonable advance notice, to withdraw your consent for the collection, use, and disclosure of your personal information. Please be aware that the refusal or withdrawal of your consent may preclude me from providing or continuing to provide you with services. 

You also have the right to verify, update, and correct your personal information in my records and request to have it amended. There would be no charge for this service.

Also, in providing you with services I may need to protect the privacy of other third parties in the same way that I protect yours, if at any point this information is requested by you, or needed to be provided to you for any reason. I will need the implied or express consent of any third party for this purpose.

This privacy policy may be changed or updated at any time. Please check this page regularly to keep up to date.
