About Privacy...
Canada's Privacy laws are intended to ensure that businesses limit the collection of personal information to that which is required to provide a client with a service or a product. In Addition, the privacy laws require that when a business has collected such information, it take the necessary steps to safeguard that personal information.

Apex Investigation & Security Inc. is committed to providing its clients with the best possible service and we understand that the relationship we enjoy with you is one based on that. To maintain your trust, we take the issue of protection and privacy of the information you provide to us very seriously. Our Privacy Policy describes the manner and circumstances in which we collect, use, disclose, safeguard, and dispose of personal information that our clients provide to us.

You need to be aware that Apex has a policy prohibiting sharing client information with anyone outside of the Apex family. The personal information may be used by Apex to provide notification of any required emergency response agency within the context of the monitoring services we provide for you and such other products or services requested by you or to conduct client satisfaction surveys. In most cases, we shall ask you to specifically consent, if we collect, use or disclose personal information. By reason of your contract for services with us, your consent is implied for the purpose of contacting emergency response agencies and others designated by you as a responder or emergency contact. Additionally, we may obtain your credit report or information to assess your application for our services or for additional products or services which may be of interest to you or other special interest information updates from time to time.

If you do not wish us to use or disclose your information for the purpose of providing you with information about products or services which may be of interest, please contact us at the location noted at the top of this letter. Once we receive your notification please allow us 30 days to update our records with your request. Subject to your legal and contractual restrictions, we will note your request. If you have not notified us previously regarding your preference and if you do not do so, we will consider that you have consented to our continued use and disclosure of your information for these purposes. You may contact us at any time to withdraw or change your consent. Please note that a withdrawal or change of consent may affect our ability to provide you with products and/or services.

We take this opportunity to thank you for your patronage and should you have any questions about our Privacy Policy, please direct them in writing to our Privacy Officer: Gary Boyer President of Apex Investigation & Security
