SAFEGUARDS
McCormick Canada protects the security and confidentiality of personal information with safeguards appropriate to the sensitivity of the information. McCormick Canada treats your information as private, confidential information and we protect that information, both on-line and off-line. We use physical, technological and operational security systems to help protect personally identifiable information from loss, theft, misuse, alteration or destruction. Only personnel and third parties authorized by McCormick Canada have access to personal information and these individuals are contractually required to preserve the confidentiality of this information. Personal information we collect is maintained on servers located in the United States.
Although we have taken reasonable and prudent measures to protect our sites, computer systems and any personal information that we have collected from unauthorized use, access, disclosure, misuse, alteration or destruction, no security measures can provide absolute protection. As a result, while we are committed to protecting your personal information, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you provide to us.
Some or all of the personal information we collect may be stored or processed on servers located outside your jurisdiction of residence, including in the United States, whose data protection laws may differ from the jurisdiction in which you live. As a result, this information may be subject to access requests from governments, courts, or law enforcement in those jurisdictions according to laws in those jurisdictions. Subject to applicable laws in such other jurisdictions, we will use reasonable efforts to ensure that appropriate protections are in place to require the data processor in that country to maintain protections on the personal information that are equivalent to those that apply in Canada.
Surveys
From time-to-time we may request information from users via surveys. Participation in these surveys is completely voluntary and the user therefore has a choice whether or not to disclose this information. Information requested typically includes user information (email address, product preferences, cooking habits) and demographic information (postal code, age level). Survey information will be used for purposes of monitoring or improving the use and satisfaction of this site, and better understanding customer demographics.
