We only collect personal information by lawful and fair means.
If it is reasonable and practical to do so, we will collect personal information directly from you. We collect information in a number of ways, such as when you contact us by phone or email, when you use our Site, subscribe to our publications, attend our seminars or functions, or use our products and services.
We may also collect personal information from third parties such as your representatives or publicly available sources of information. All personal information that we collect is reasonably necessary for the purposes relating to providing our products and services to you.
In the circumstances where you voluntarily provide us with personal information, we will take this as your implied consent for us to collect your personal information. However, we will construe the implied consent narrowly and will not rely on it to handle your personal information in a manner that is not directly related to the purpose for which your personal information is being provided or for a purpose outside your reasonable expectations.
If someone other than you provides us with personal information about you that we did not ask for, and we determine that we could have collected this information from you had we asked for it, we will notify you as soon as practicable (unless to do so would be a breach of confidence). If we could not have collected this personal information, we will lawfully de identify or destroy that personal information.
