Privacy policy

Your privacy is important to us. We want you to understand how we safeguard your personal information and what types of information we receive and collect when you visit our websites.

Personal information and online security

The term “personal information” includes any individually identifiable information about you that we may collect from you online, such as your name, address, email address or telephone number, or other data that can be reasonably linked to such information by GROUP CABICO INC. (“CABICO”), such as information we associate with your account.

When you visit a CABICO website or an associated website, you are anonymous unless you choose to identify yourself. You are not required to provide personal information to use our websites, unless a feature requires it. For example, if you have a contract with us and wish to access your account online, you will need to provide identifying information or when you create an account, you provide us with personal information that includes your name and a password. You can also choose to add a phone number to your account. Even if you aren’t signed in to an account, you might choose to provide us with information — like an email address to receive updates about our services. In these cases, we have physical, electronic and procedural safeguards in place to help protect your online personal information from unauthorized use or improper access. These safeguards may include:

Passwords and personal identification numbers (PINs): Clients can access their account information online only after providing identifying information and a password or PIN. This personal information is unique to you, and is an important first step in protecting your information online.

128-bit encryption: Cabico uses a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol to protect personal information transmitted to us electronically. SSL transmitted information is encrypted, or scrambled, to prevent unauthorized reading of the electronic communication. If we do detect something risky that we think you should know about, we’ll notify you and help guide you through steps to stay better protected.

Although we have physical, electronic and procedural safeguards that we believe are adequate to protect personal information, any such systems may be subject to human and operational error. In particular, because the Internet is an open system, we cannot and do not guarantee that personal information entered by you online will not be misappropriated, intercepted, modified, deleted or used by others.

In the U.S., if you think that any personal information we have collected about you is inaccurate, you may send a written request to us at the following address: CABICO, 677 Akhurst, Coaticook, Quebec, Canada J1A 2H6. We will review your request and make appropriate changes if warranted.

You may choose not to provide your personal information through a CABICO website and use an alternative form of communication such as telephone, fax or regular mail.
