The Shine Network Institute (“TSNI”) is committed to maintaining the accuracy, confidentiality and security of your personal information. We have developed this Website Privacy Policy to describe our specific privacy policies and practices and how we collect, use and disclose the personal information of those individuals who visit our website.
Privacy Policy Effective for Canada
It is our policy to comply with the privacy legislation within each jurisdiction in which we operate. Sometimes the privacy legislation and/or an individual’s right to privacy are different from one jurisdiction to another. This Privacy Policy covers only those activities that are subject to the provisions of Canada’s federal and provincial privacy laws, as applicable.
This Privacy Policy has a limited scope and application. Consequently, the rights and obligations contained in this Privacy Policy may not be available to all individuals or in all jurisdictions. If you are unsure if or how this Privacy Policy applies to you, please contact our Privacy Officer for more information.
