Privacy Notice
This Privacy Notice explains the types of personal information Second Chair Partners (“we”, “us”) collects, how it is used, who it is disclosed to, how it is protected, and your legal rights. “Personal information” means information that (either in isolation or in combination with other available information) enables you to be identified as an individual or recognized directly or indirectly. It would not include aggregate or deidentified information or various types of publicly available information.
In order to perform services for you, we will need to collect, maintain and utilize personal information about you. We do not disclose your personal information to any third party for the purpose of allowing that party to market other products to you. We maintain your information in confidence and do not share this information with any individual or entity unless that individual or entity has a need to access that information for the purpose of providing services to you. While in our possession, your information is maintained with the same safeguards as we utilize to maintain our own confidential information, and these systems and safeguards are reviewed periodically. Various federal and provincial privacy laws require us to provide the following additional disclosures regarding your confidential information:

Other commercial purposes, including, but not limited to activities that are undertaken to advance, enable or effect potential commercial transactions.
How Long We Keep Information
How long we keep your personal information will vary primarily depending on the purpose for which we are using your personal information and our legal obligations. The retention period will be determined by various criteria, including the purposes for which we are using it (as it will need to be kept for as long as is necessary for any of those purposes) and our legal obligations (as laws or regulations may set a minimum period for which we have to keep your personal information). In general, we will retain your personal information for as long as is necessary to provide the relevant services and where laws or regulations set a minimum period for which we are required to keep certain of your personal information.
Sensitive Personal Information
We use and disclose sensitive personal information for our business and compliance functions and for other legally authorized purposes. We do not use or disclose it in a manner that would give rise to a right to limit its use or disclosure under applicable laws.
We may collect sensitive personal information from certain categories of sources, including:
Your communications with us and our service providers, including account applications and other forms or related documentation;
Your service providers and our service providers, including but not limited to: administrators, custodians, brokers, auditors, law firms, accountants, consultants, employment agencies, credit bureaus, other financial institutions;
Our affiliates or our affiliates’ service providers;
Your employer and your employer’s service providers; and
Government entities and other publicly available directories and sources.
We may collect sensitive personal information for the business or commercial purposes described above in “Purpose for Collecting and Using Personal Information”.
With Whom We Disclose Personal Information
Your personal information is intended for Second Chair Partners and may be disclosed, in certain circumstances, to other parties, including to other parties as directed by you.
We may disclose your personal information to:
External auditors, accountants, and legal and other professional advisors.
Our service providers. We use other companies or contractors (service providers) to perform services on our behalf or to assist us with the provision of Second Chair Partners products or services. We may use a service provider to assist in relation to any of the purposes for which we may collect personal information.
In the course of providing such services, these service providers may have access to your personal information. However, we will only provide our service providers with the information that is necessary for them to perform the services, they will act under our instructions, and we instruct them not to use your personal information for any other purpose. We will always use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the service providers we work with will keep your personal information secure.
Other parties permitted by law. In certain circumstances, we may be required to disclose your personal information in order to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation (for example, we may be required to disclose personal information to the police, regulators, government agencies, or judicial or administrative authorities). We may also disclose your personal information to other parties where disclosure is both legally permissible and necessary to protect or defend our rights, matters of national security, for law enforcement purposes, to enforce our agreements, or to protect your rights or those of the public.
Your company or agents and other parties. We may disclose your personal information to your company or other agent, such as when you are included on an email with others or to confirm your details or role. We also may disclose your information to other parties connected with your company or an account or in relation to business transactions we have with you or your company.
Other parties connected with business transfers. We may transfer your personal information to other parties in connection with a reorganization, restructuring, merger, acquisition, or transfer of assets, provided that the receiving party agrees to treat your personal information in a manner consistent with this Privacy Notice.
Security and Location of Personal Information
We have implemented technical and organizational security measures in an effort to safeguard personal information in our custody and control. Such measures we have implemented include limiting access to personal information only to employees, contractors, and authorized service providers who need to know such information for the purposes described in this Privacy Notice; training for our employees and contractors; and other technical, administrative, and physical safeguards. While we endeavor to always protect our systems, sites, operations, and information against unauthorized access, use, modification, and disclosure, due to the inherent nature of the internet as an open global communications vehicle and other risk factors, we cannot guarantee that any information, during transmission or while stored on our systems, will be absolutely safe from intrusion by others, such as hackers.
The personal information that we collect may be accessed from or stored in Canada or the United States. Due to the nature of the technologies we use, personal information may be accessed from, or transferred to and stored in, other jurisdictions. Regardless of location, we will put into place appropriate protections and controls to help keep your personal information secure and treated in line with this Privacy Notice and applicable privacy/data protection laws.
Children’s Rights
We do not knowingly collect any personal information directly from children under 16 years of age. Certain website pages and areas of one or more of our websites may have content that an adult may wish to share with a child. We do not target any advertising to children under 16. If you are a parent and believe we have collected personal information directly from your child who is under 16 years old, you may contact us to report this. We will investigate your report, and if we discover that we have in fact collected such information, we will delete it.
Changes to this Privacy Notice
We may update this Privacy Notice from time to time and to reflect changes in our personal information practices.
