Funnel Communications Inc. values its relationship with its customers and employees, and is committed to the protection of their personal information. Accordingly, Funnel Communications adheres to our privacy policy, set out below. The following outlines our compliance with PIPEDA and other privacy laws and how we are accountable.
What is personal information?
For the purposes of the privacy legislation, Bill C6, “personal information” is defined as any information that can be used to distinguish, identify or contact a specific individual. This information can include an individual’s opinions or beliefs (e.g. religion or political affiliation), as well as facts about, or related to, the individual. There are exceptions: business contact information and certain publicly available information, such as names, addresses and telephone numbers (as published in telephone directories) are not considered personal information. Where an individual uses his or her home contact information as business contact information, the contact information provided is regarded as business contact information and is not subject to protection as personal information.

Certain processes exist where we may collect personal information. Funnel Communications collects no personal information about you unless you choose to provide that information to us. Any personally identifiable data is stored securely and used only for the purpose for which it is provided to us. The information you provide to Funnel Communications allows us to provide services to you. By providing us information you are giving Funnel Communications permission to contact you by way of the information you provide.
