Policy To Protect Personal Information
Accountability
1. Andrew Beaulieu is the Data Protection Officer (DPO) (the "Officer") for the ShareWord Global ("SWG").
2. All persons, whether employees, volunteers, or board or committee members who collect, process, or use personal information shall be accountable for such information to the Officer.
3. The ShareWord Global Policy To Protect Personal Information (the "Policy") shall be made available via SWG's website (www.sharewordglobal.com), or a paper copy provided upon written request.
4. Any personal information transferred to a third party for processing is subject to this Policy. The Officer shall use contractual or other appropriate means to protect personal information at a level comparable to this Policy while a third party is processing this information.
5. Personal information to be collected, retained, or used by SWG shall be done so only after the Officer gives approval. This information shall be secured according to the Officer's instructions.
6. Any person who believes SWG uses personal information collected, retained, or used for purposes other than those that person explicitly approved may contact the Officer to register a complaint or to make any related inquiry.
7. Upon receiving a complaint from any person regarding the collection, retention, or use of personal information, the Officer shall promptly investigate the complaint and notify the person who complained about his/her findings and corrective action taken, if any.
8. Upon receiving the response from the Officer, the person who filed the complaint may, if he/she is not satisfied, appeal to SWG's Board of Directors to review and determine the disposition of the complaint at issue.
9. The determination of the Board of Directors shall be final and the Officer shall abide by and implement any of its recommendations.
10. The Officer shall communicate and explain this Policy and give training regarding it to all employees and volunteers who might be in a position to collect, retain, or use personal information.
11. The Officer shall prepare and disseminate information to the public which explains SWG's protection of personal information policies and procedures.
Identifying Purposes
1. The Officer shall determine the purpose for which personal information is collected to comply with the openness and individual access principles outlined below.
2. The Officer shall determine the information that will be needed to fulfill the purposes for which the information is to be collected, to comply with the limited collection principle below.
3. The Officer shall ensure that the purpose is specified at or before the time of collecting the personal information from an individual.
4. The Officer shall ensure that the information collected will not be used for any other purpose before obtaining the individual's approval, unless the new purpose is required by law.
5. The Officer shall ensure that a person collecting personal information will be able to explain to the individual why this is being done.

Consent
1. The Officer shall ensure that the individual from whom personal information is collected consents to this and to it being used and disclosed.
2. The Officer shall ensure that the individual can reasonably understand why and how the information will be used when the consent is given.
3. The Officer shall ensure that no condition is attached to supplying benefits, because of SWG's activities, requiring the individual to give consent for the collection, use, or disclosure of information beyond that required to fulfill the explicitly specified and legitimate purposes.
4. The Officer will obtain clear consent whenever possible. For example, if SWG needs to collect personal information for a new project, the Officer will explain why the information is needed and how it will be used, and then ask for the individual's consent. In rare circumstances where, in the Officer's opinion (having regard to the information's sensitivity and the Policy's purpose and intent), implied consent might be acceptable.
5. In obtaining consent, the Officer shall ensure that the individual's reasonable expectations are respected.
6. The Officer shall ensure that cases of express consent obtained from an individual is clear and in an appropriately verifiable form.
7. The Officer shall ensure that the individual may withdraw consent at any time, subject to legal or contractual restrictions and reasonable notice. The individual shall promptly be informed of the withdrawal's implications.
Limiting Collection

3. The Officer shall ensure that the identifying purposes and consent principles are followed in identifying why personal information is to be collected.

Limiting Use, Disclosure, and Retention
1. The Officer shall ensure that personal information shall not be used or disclosed for purposes other than those for which it was collected, except with the consent of the individual or as required by law, and any use of personal information shall be properly documented.
2. The Officer shall ensure that all personal information is destroyed, erased, or made anonymous as soon as the purpose for which it was collected is no longer relevant, or as permitted by law.
3. There shall be reviews of the need to continue retaining personal information periodically.

4. The Officer shall ensure that all use, disclosure, and retention decisions are made in light of the consent principle, the identifying purposes principle and the individual access principle.
Accuracy
1. The Officer shall reasonably ensure that the personal information is accurate, complete, and up to date, taking into account the individual's interests. The Officer shall ensure that the information is sufficiently accurate, complete, and up to date to minimize the possibility that inappropriate information might be used to make a decision about an individual.
2. The Officer shall ensure that SWG does not routinely update personal information, unless it is necessary to fulfill the purposes for which the information was collected.

A higher level of protection shall safeguard more sensitive information according to the consent principle's considerations.

Individual Access

If the Officer believes there are valid reasons to deny access to personal information, they will consult legal counsel before making a decision.
2. When requesting personal information, the individual may be asked by the Officer to provide sufficient details to enable SWG to account for the existence, use, and disclosure of the personal information. The information provided will be used solely for the purpose for which it was collected.
3. If SWG has supplied personal information about an individual to third parties, the Officer shall ensure that an attempt is made to be as specific as possible. When it is impossible to give a list of organizations to which SWG has actually disclosed information about an individual, SWG shall provide a list of organizations to which it might have disclosed information about the individual.
4. The Officer shall ensure that SWG responds to an individual's request within a reasonable time and at minimal or no cost to the individual. The requested information shall be made available in a generally understandable form. For example, SWG shall explain abbreviations or codes it uses to record information.
5. The Officer shall ensure that when an individual successfully demonstrates the inaccuracy or incompleteness of personal information, SWG shall amend the information as required. Depending on the information challenged, amendment involves the correction, deletion, or addition of information. When appropriate, the amended information shall be transmitted to third parties having access to the information in question.
6. The Officer shall ensure that when a challenge is not resolved to the individual's satisfaction, SWG shall record the unresolved challenge's substance. When appropriate, the unresolved challenge's existence shall be transmitted to third parties having access to the information in question.
Challenging Compliance
