Privacy Policy
The Canadian Operating Room Leaders (CORL) network respects the privacy of visitors to our website. To that end, we have developed this Website Privacy Policy to educate visitors to our website about the collection of information by CORL as a result of the services available on our website. Our Privacy Policy is based on the principles outlined in Canada's Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act, and applicable provincial legislation. If you do not agree to the terms outlined in this Privacy Policy, we ask that you notify us in writing about your concerns (send us an e-mail at ). Alternatively, you have the option of not continuing to visit our site.
Collection and Use of Personal Information
While visiting the CORL website, you may be invited to provide us with personal information. You ordinarily are not required to register or provide personal information in order to access our website, although certain sections of our website do require registration. The type of information that we collect will depend on the services that you use on our website. Below is a summary of the personal information that we collect, including the purposes for which it is collected:
Customer Questions, Comments or Suggestions: Our website enables you to provide us your questions, comments or suggestions about our products or services. If you send us such a comment and ask us to respond, then we may collect your name, email, mailing address and telephone number so that we may address your comment and provide you with a timely response.
Surveys: We may occasionally post surveys on our website and the information derived from these surveys helps us to improve our service to our customers. Your participation in any such survey is strictly voluntary.
Members Area: Our member section contains distribution-controlled content that requires registration in order to view. Persons wishing to view such information are asked to provide certain personal information. Some of the information requested for this purpose is optional, but other information, such as an email address, phone number and address, is mandatory because it is needed for document tracking.
Discussion Forums: Our Members Area contains user-interactive bulletin boards that may require online registration. Persons wishing to participate in discussions are asked to provide certain personal information. Some of the information requested for this purpose is optional, but other information, such as an email address, is mandatory because it will be needed to notify and identify users.
Purchases: We offer individuals the opportunity to order merchandise online. In connection with those purchases, customers will be asked to submit personal information, such as a billing address, that is required to complete the request. We also offer a membership program, through which purchasers of our products/services may receive discounts on their future purchases. Membership registration may involve the submission of personal information to us and assignment of a user ID and password.
Use of Your Personal Information: We only use your personal information for the purposes stated above, and we do not sell or disclose your personal information without your consent.
Disclosure of Personal Information: Canadian law dictates that we may disclose personal information without consent for law enforcement and national security purposes, for debt collection, to a lawyer representing our organization, and in an emergency situation in which an individual's life, health or security is threatened.
