Privacy Policy
Tendercare Living Centre is committed to protecting your Personal Information (as defined below) in accordance with this Privacy Policy (“Policy”). This Policy governs the collection, use and disclosure of your Personal Information with respect to any communication or interaction you may have with us, whether it be in person, over the telephone, in writing, or electronically.

You may withdraw this consent at any time, unless legal requirements prevent your withdrawal. If you do not agree with the terms of this Policy, please do not use the Site.
What is Personal Information?
“Personal Information” is information about you, although most business contact information or information from a public directory listing of your name, address, or telephone number is not Personal Information. Anonymous information, including demographic information and statistics, is not considered Personal Information.
Collection of Personal Information
Tendercare Living Centre collects Personal Information when you provide it to us. We collect your Personal information for purposes of improving the quality of care for residents, communication with you, and services available from Tendercare and other purposes disclosed to you at the time of collection or as permitted by law.
Tendercare Living Centre does not sell, rent, or lease Personal Information to third parties.

We collect and use your Personal Information only for the purposes described above and other purposes disclosed to you at the time of collection or as permitted by law. We do not disclose your Personal Information, except as disclosed to you at the time of collection or as permitted by law.
Security
We implement reasonable security safeguards to protect Personal Information against loss or theft, as well as unauthorized access, disclosure, copying, use or modification. We use physical, organizational, and technological measures to protect Personal Information.
We will keep Personal Information only for as long as it remains necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or as required by law.

You have the right to access, verify the accuracy of and update your Personal Information that we have collected. We rely on upon you to advise us if your Personal Information changes. If you notify us that your Personal Information is inaccurate or incomplete, we will take reasonable steps to correct, delete, or add Personal Information as applicable.
