Privacy Policy - Effective Date: April 12, 2018

This privacy notice discloses the privacy practices for Forensic Analytics (FA) Inc. and our website; www.fainc.ca

This privacy notice applies solely to information collected by this website, except where stated otherwise. It will notify you of the following:

· Consent

· What information we collect;

· With whom it is shared;

· How it can be corrected;

· How it is secured;

Consent 

We ask for consent to collect, use or disclose client personal information, except in specific circumstances where collection, use or disclosure without consent is authorized or required by law. 

We may assume your consent in cases where you volunteer information for an obvious purpose. 

We ask for your express consent for some purposes and may not be able to provide certain services if you are unwilling to provide consent to the collection, use or disclosure of certain personal information. Where express consent is needed, we will normally ask clients to provide their consent orally (in person, by telephone), in writing (by signing a consent form, by checking a box on a form, or electronically (by clicking a button). 

A client may withdraw consent to the use and disclosure of personal information at any time, unless the personal information is necessary for us to fulfill our legal obligations. We will respect your decision, but we may not be able to provide you with certain products and services if we do not have the necessary personal information. 

We may collect, use or disclose client personal information without consent only as authorized by law. For example, we may not request consent when the collection, use or disclosure is reasonable for an investigation or legal proceeding, to collect a debt owed to our organization, in an emergency that threatens life, health or safety, or when the personal information is from a public telephone directory.

We may partner with another party to provide specific services.
