How Dr. Solomon protects your Personal Information

Dr. Solomon keeps your Personal Information and the business that you do with us in strict confidence.  You have control over how Dr. Solomon obtains, uses, and gives out information about you.  You also have access to the information that Dr. Solomon has about you and Dr. Solomon respects your privacy when we market our products and services.

How Dr. Solomon may share or disclose Personal Information

Dr. Solomon does not sell to third parties any Personal Information that Dr. Solomon collects.  Dr. Solomon may provide or share the Personal Information that you provide with third parties or promotional partners who provide services on our behalf.  These entities may use the information solely in conjunction with the specific services they provide to us (e.g. fulfillment of an order; responding to your question or comment; providing a promotional prize; deployment of a consumer survey; and/or investigation of a complaint).

Dr. Solomon may collect, use or disclose information without your consent if Dr. Solomon: i) must disclose information for legal reasons; (ii) has to protect the interests of Dr. Solomon, for example, to detect or prevent fraud; iii) must use an outside company to process information - at times Dr. Solomon may use the expertise of an outside company to do work for us involving some of your Personal Information. When Dr. Solomon does use an outside company, we select the company carefully and confirm that it uses security and privacy standards comparable to those of Dr. Solomon.

Personal Information may be subject to transfer to another organization. This might occur, for example, in contemplation of a merger or a change of ownership of all or part of Dr. Solomon. Dr. Solomon will do this only if the parties have entered into an agreement under which the disclosure of the information (including any Personal Information) is restricted to those purposes that relate to the business transaction and is to be used by the parties to carry out and complete the business transaction.

Consent to use of Personal Information

By choosing to provide Dr. Solomon with your Personal Information as described in this Privacy Policy, you are further consenting to its use in accordance with the principles outlined in this Privacy Policy and as may be further outlined at the time of collection. Dr. Solomon will rely upon such implied consent to use and disclose identifying information about you, such as your name and address.

The protection of your Personal Information is of critical importance to us. If you don't want Dr. Solomon to use Personal Information for marketing or publicity purposes, please tell us at the time the information is collected.  You may withdraw your consent any time after you have given it to us, provided there are no legal requirements to prevent this, by sending an e-mail to sara@drsarasolomon.com.

Please note, if you do not consent to certain uses of information, or if you withdraw your consent, Dr. Solomon may not be able to provide you with a particular product or service. If so, Dr. Solomon will explain the situation to you to help you with your decision.

Requests for access or correction of Personal Information

Requests to access or correct any Personal Information held about you may be submitted to the email address listed at “Contact Information,” below.  After we have verified your identity, we will endeavour to provide the information requested within the time specified by local law or within a reasonable period of time.  If your information is shown to be inaccurate, we will endeavour to correct it as appropriate.  If we decline to provide the Personal Information held or to make the correction requested, we will provide reasons for such decline.

We will use commercially reasonable efforts to deal quickly with your request to see your information, and always respond to you within thirty (30) days. If Dr. Solomon needs to extend the time, or Dr. Solomon has to refuse your request, Dr. Solomon will tell you why, subject to any legal restrictions and will notify you of the new deadline, the reasons for the extension, and your rights under applicable legislation respecting the extension.

You have the right to request information about the personal data we hold on you. If your data is incorrect, incomplete, or irrelevant you can ask to have the information corrected or removed. To access or update your personal information e-mail sara@drsarasolomon.com

E-mail Opt-out

Dr. Solomon communicates with users who subscribe to her services on a regular basis via e-mail. For example, she may use your e-mail address to confirm your request, to send you notice of payments, to send you the digital product you purchased, and to send notices and other disclosures as required by law. Generally, users cannot opt-out of these communications, but they will be primarily informational in nature rather than promotional.

Dr. Solomon provides you the opportunity to exercise an opt-out choice if you do not want to receive other types of communication from her, such as emails or updates from her regarding new services and products offered on the Sites. Dr. Solomon will process your unsubscribe request as soon as possible, but please be aware that in some circumstances you may receive a few more messages until the unsubscribe is processed. You also may opt-out of receiving such emails by clicking on the "unsubscribe" link within the text of the email.

Security

Dr. Solomon takes reasonable and appropriate measures to keep Personal Information accurate and up-to-date.  In an effort to prevent the loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration or destruction of Personal Information, Dr. Solomon takes appropriate physical, organizational and technical measures to protect Personal Information.

However, for greater clarity, Dr. Solomon cannot guarantee that any information that you may choose to disclose via the Internet will not be intercepted by third parties. We assume no responsibility for Personal Information disclosed through the Internet, which is intercepted, diverted or otherwise accessed.

Personal Information collected by Dr. Solomon may be stored at locations outside of Canada, and as such is subject to the law of such other jurisdictions.  Personal Information may be accessed by foreign governments or law enforcement  in such other jurisdictions and Dr. Solomon may be required to disclose such Personal Information by operation of law.

How is Your Personal Information Protected?

Security Methods: We maintain administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your personal information. When we collect or transmit sensitive information, we use industry standard methods to protect that information. However, no e-commerce solution, website, mobile application, database, or system is completely secure or “hacker proof.” You are also responsible for taking reasonable steps to protect your personal information against unauthorized disclosure or misuse.

E-mail Security: “Phishing” is a scam designed to steal your personal information. If you receive an e-mail that looks like it is from us asking for your personal information, do not respond. We will never request your password, username, credit card information, or other personal information through e-mail.

Retention and disposal of Personal Information

Dr. Solomon keeps your Personal Information only so long as we need it for the products and services that you are using, to offer you products and services when you are a customer and for a reasonable time thereafter, or to meet any legal requirements.  Dr. Solomon destroys your Personal Information when it is no longer needed, or we remove your name from the Personal Information.
