Privacy Policy

Last Updated: March 30th, 2022

At Telehippo Software Inc. (Telehippo) our commitment to protecting the confidentiality and security of our customers’ Personal Information has, is, and always will be an integral part of our core values. It is the Personal Information and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) that governs how we manage personal information.

We do not sell, trade, or rent any Personal Information to any organization for any purpose, at any time. We share customers’ personal information only with service providers that are contracted to provide services as specified after they have contracted to abide by applicable legislation.

For Telehippo employees, the Telehippo Privacy Policy & Procedures document must be read in conjunction with Telehippo’s Employee Manual and the Information Security Policy and Procedures.

Employees are trained in their privacy obligations and must exercise discretion and only access Personal Information when they have a legitimate business purpose. Compliance with privacy regulations, and all other prevailing legislation, is a condition of employment at Telehippo.

HOW WE KEEP YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION SAFE AND SECURE
Security of your personal information is a very important issue to us.

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the Internet is not completely secure.

Any transmission of personal information is at your own risk.

If you would like to review, verify, or correct your personal information, please contact our privacy office at privacy@telehippo.com. We may request additional information from you to confirm your identity and to provide you with any personal information we have on you, or make requested changes.

If we believe any requested changes could be in violation of any applicable laws or cause your information to be incorrect, we may refuse your request.
