Management and protection of personal information policy
Since Desjardins Insurance was founded in 1948, significant and effective control
measures have been put in place to protect the confidentiality of the personal
information in our possession.
In order to offer quality financial services, we require access to medical, financial
and family information. We manage this information with the utmost discretion and in
compliance with Canadian statutory and regulatory requirements.
Desjardins Insurance is committed to managing and protecting your personal information:
Collecting personal information and creating a file for insurance purposes only
What is personal information?
Personal information is any information about an identifiable individual or any facts which,
on their own or combined with other data, can identify an individual.
The personal information we have about you is kept in a file so we can offer you our insurance,
annuity, credit and related financial services.
We collect only the personal information necessary for you to purchase insurance, in compliance
with the law.
We always ask for your consent before we collect or disclose your medical information.
Retention, use and disclosure of personal information
We apply the necessary security measures to protect the confidentiality of the personal
information in our possession. This means that only authorized individuals can access
the personal information in the files and only when necessary in the course of their duties.
For more information, visit desjardinslifeinsurance.com
Unless you consent, or it is required by law, personal information in the files is never
used for any purpose other than that for which it was intended.
Our client lists are only used or disclosed as permitted by law. We can use these lists
to inform our clients of promotions or to offer a new product. If you would like your
name to be removed from the list, contact our Privacy Officer at any time.
We won't disclose the personal information about you contained in the file to any third
party, unless we receive written consent from you, or we are authorized by law to do
so (for example, in the case of an inquiry by the officers of the court).
When personal information is sent outside of Desjardins Insurance, it is also done in
a way that ensures that it remains confidential, even if you are the one who will
receive the information.
