Personal Information
For the purpose of this Privacy Policy, “personal information” means information about an identifiable individual.
What Personal Information We Collect
We (or our service providers on our behalf) may collect the following personal information:
- Contact information (such as name, address, e-mail address and telephone number) so you can subscribe to updates and we can respond to your requests;
- Employment information and history (such as education, employment, occupation) as part of our hiring process;
- Financial and billing information (such as bank account and transit information) in order to process payments and validations; and
- Electronically collected data (such as IP addresses and cookies) to ensure our website’s functionality and to track user behaviour.
Collecting, Using and Disclosing Information
This Privacy Policy describes our policies regarding the collection, use and disclosure of the personal information that we (or our service providers on our behalf) collect about you on the website. We may collect this information when you subscribe to, or sign your company up for, certain services, tools or features that we provide, when you fill out forms made available through the website, when you attend investor conference calls or audio webcasts, when you e-mail us with inquiries or with your comments or suggestions, when you apply for employment. We will limit the personal information we collect to what we need for the purposes for which it was collected and will use such personal information for such purposes.
We will not sell, license, trade or rent your personal information to or with others.
Cygnet may share personal information with third parties engaged to assist us in providing services to you or to carry out one or more of the purposes described above. For example, when submitting an application for employment through our website, your information is collected by our service provider who hosts this function on our website. Our service providers are prohibited from using your personal information for any purpose other than to provide this assistance and are required to protect personal information transferred by Cygnet to them and to comply with all applicable laws, including but not limited to privacy legislation.
Cygnet reserves the right to disclose personal information to a third party if a law, regulation, search warrant, subpoena or court order legally requires or authorizes us to do so, including to meet national security or law enforcement requirements. We may also disclose your personal information when we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, protect your safety or the safety of others, investigate fraud, or respond to a government request, and to any other third party with your prior consent to do so.
Cygnet also reserves the right to disclose and/or transfer personal information to a third party in the event of a proposed or actual purchase, sale (including a liquidation, realization, foreclosure or repossession), lease, merger, amalgamation, corporate reorganization or any other type of acquisition, disposal, transfer, conveyance or financing of all or any portion of Cygnet or of any of the business or assets or shares of its parent company Chorus Aviation Inc. or a division thereof in order for you to continue to receive the same products and services from the third party.
Knowledge and Consent
Cygnet collects personal information about you only when you voluntarily provide it. Typically, we will seek consent for the use or disclosure of your personal information at the time of collection. In certain circumstances, consent may be sought after the information has been collected but before use (for example, when we want to use information for a purpose not previously identified).
The form of consent that we seek, including whether it is express or implied, will largely depend on the sensitivity of the personal information and the reasonable expectations of the individual in the circumstances.
You may withdraw consent at any time, subject to legal or contractual restrictions and reasonable notice. If you wish to withdraw your consent at any time, please contact our Privacy Officer at legalnotices@chorusaviation.com. We will inform you of the implications of withdrawing consent.
Use or Disclosure for Marketing Purposes
If you have not opted out of receiving marketing materials, we may also use (but will not disclose) your personal information to promote and market additional goods, services and special offers from us, our affiliates and/or our business associates, including by means of direct marketing. We may also disclose your name and mailing address to these affiliates and/or third-party business associates so that they can send you promotional materials directly.
You can choose not to allow us to use or disclose your personal information for direct marketing purposes by contacting us as outlined below (see “Contacting Us”).
How We Protect Your Personal Information
Cygnet makes commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that personal information collected from you is protected against loss, theft and unauthorized access. This protection applies in relation to information stored in both electronic and hard copy form. Access to your personal information is restricted to selected employees or representatives. In addition, Cygnet employs generally accepted information security technologies and techniques, such as firewalls, access control procedures and encryption, to protect personal information against loss and unauthorized access.
