Privacy Policy
PRIMED Privacy Statement
PRIMED Medical Products Inc. (“PRIMED”), on our own behalf and on behalf of all PRIMED affiliates, is committed to protecting the privacy and confidentiality of its customers’ personal information. PRIMED is also committed to complying with the privacy legislation that governs the collection, use, disclosure, storage, and ultimate disposition of its customers’ personal information in ways that safeguard the privacy of its customers.
Why we collect, use, and disclose your personal information
Personal information means information about an identifiable person, such as your name, home or email address, and your credit card information. We collect, use, and disclose your personal information in order to identify you, communicate with you, provide you with services and information you wish to receive ,and to sell you goods and services from the PRIMED shop. We will not collect, use or disclose your personal information other than for the purposes that we have identified, or for purposes that a reasonable person would consider appropriate in the circumstances.
Consent
Most of the personal information that PRIMED collects, uses and discloses is provided by you. By providing PRIMED with your personal information, you consent to PRIMED’s collection, use, and disclosure of your personal information as set forth in this policy. In this way, your consent to our collection, use, and disclosure as set out in this policy or as required or authorized by law is also implied. Customers are considered to have given implied consent when PRIMED’s purpose for collecting, using or disclosing personal information would be considered obvious and the customer voluntarily provides their personal information for that obvious purpose. You may withdraw your consent at any time, but not where the withdrawal of your consent would frustrate the performance of a legal obligation, and in many cases such withdrawal may well result in a reduction of services available to you.

Security of your personal information
We employ appropriate security measures and ensure that only authorized individuals will have access to your personal information.
Retention and destruction of your personal information
We will keep your personal information only for as long as it is required, but where your personal information is used to make a purchase, your personal information will be kept for at least two years after that purchase is made. When your personal information is no longer required, PRIMED will destroy it in a confidential, secure manner.
Applicable legislation
There are rules about how PRIMED may collect, use, disclose, retain, and dispose of your personal information. Depending on where you live in Canada, and whether the personal information at issue has crossed provincial boundaries, different pieces of legislation could apply. Generally, the federal legislation applies to information that crosses provincial boundaries, or where the province at issue does not have privacy legislation that has been declared to be “substantially similar” to the federal legislation. The privacy legislation in B.C., Alberta and Quebec has been declared “substantially similar” and applies to personal information that is collected, used, disclosed, retained, and destroyed within those provinces. Other provinces may also have their own private sector privacy legislation that has not been declared substantially similar.
Questions about PRIMED’s handling of your personal information should be sent to privacy@PRIMED.com. PRIMED will inform individuals who provide comments, make enquiries or lodge complaints about PRIMED’s enquiry or complaint procedures, as applicable. If a complaint is found to be justified, PRIMED will take appropriate measures, including, if necessary, amending PRIMED’s policies and practices.
