Privacy Policy

 Elite Communication inc. is firmly committed to protecting and safeguarding your privacy.

This Privacy Policy sets out the basis on which any personal data we collect from you, or that you provide to us, will be processed by us. Please read the following carefully to find out our views and practices regarding your personal data and how we will handle it. We keep some basic information when you visit our website, but we recognize the importance of keeping that information secure and letting you know what becomes of it.

This policy reflects the requirements of the Act to modernize legislative provisions as regards the protection of personal information (Quebec’s Law 25) and of the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA). It incorporates the ten principles of the Canadian Standards Association (CSA) Model Code for the Protection of Personal Information (CAN/CSA-Q830-96), which was published in March 1996 as a National Standard of Canada.

This policy applies solely to our site. If you leave our site via a link or otherwise, you will be subject to the other website provider’s security policy. We have no control over that provider’s policy or the terms of its website, so you should check these before proceeding to the site.
