We use a very secure bank sponsored international e-commerce
system to accept and validate all Credit Card payments. We do
not see or store your credit card information. The payment form
and transaction is safely handled by the bank's secure credit
card transaction system which is why you will notice that the
payment form resides on another site. At Ecole Chocolat, we respect
your privacy and are very diligent about security.

Privacy
At Ecole Chocolat, we respect your' privacy. We have a long-standing
policy of protecting the privacy of our student's or registrant's
in all of our business operations.1
We've adopted the CSA (Canadian Standards Association) Model Code
as the basis for our own Ecole Chocolat Privacy Code. It sets out
the principles that govern the collection, use and disclosure of our
student's or registrant's personal information.2
The CSA Model Code also forms the basis for the federal government's
new privacy legislation, the "Personal Information Protection and
Electronic Documents Act", which came into effect on January 1, 2001.
We've updated our Ecole Chocolat Privacy Code to ensure that we are
in full compliance with this new legislation. The result is that we've
strengthened our commitment to protect our student's or registrant's
personal information.
We've added this text to inform you about our privacy practices. We
want you to understand the purposes for which we collect personal
information about our students or registrants. And we want to be sure
that we have your consent to continue to collect, use and disclose
your personal information for those purposes.
The following is a brief summary of our privacy practices.
Why we collect personal information
If you are a Ecole Chocolat student or registrant, Ecole Chocolat
has some basic information about you. We understand that some of this
information is private, which is why we collect personal information
only for the following purposes:
- To establish and maintain a responsible educational relationship
with you and to provide ongoing service.
- To understand your needs and preferences. We maintain a record
of the education you receive from us, and we may ask for additional
information so that we can serve you better.
- To manage and develop our business and operations. For example,
we analyze customer usage of our networks and facilities to help
us manage them efficiently and plan for future growth.
When do we disclose personal information?
There is a variety of circumstances where we may need to disclose
some personal information about our registrants. Here are some examples:
- We may disclose a student's or registrant's personal information
to:
- a company or individual employed by Ecole Chocolat to perform
functions on its behalf, such as tutoring or data processing.
- Any such disclosure of a student's or registrant's personal information
outside of Ecole Chocolat is made on a confidential basis with the
information to be used only for the purpose for which it was disclosed.
- We may disclose a student's or registrant's personal information
to a public authority or agent of a public authority, if in the
reasonable judgement of Ecole Chocolat, it appears that there is
imminent danger to life or property which could be avoided or minimized
by disclosure of the information.
- In conjunction with special offers or programs, we may disclose
student's or registrant's personal information to our program partners,
or to third-party agents responsible for administering such offers
or programs. Any such disclosure is made on a confidential basis
with the student's or registrant's express consent.
How do we protect your personal information?
In order to protect your personal information and your right to privacy,
Ecole Chocolat:
- will not collect, use or disclose your personal information for
any purpose other than those identified above, except with your
consent;
- will protect your personal information with appropriate security
safeguards;
- will protect the confidentiality of your personal information
when dealing with other companies;
- will strive to keep your personal information as accurate and
up-to-date as is necessary for the purposes identified above; and
- will honour any request you may make for access to your personal
information.
What are your choices?
We would like to have your consent to continue to collect, use and
disclose your personal information for the purposes identified above.
However, you do have choices and can refuse or withdraw your consent
as follows:
- You may have your name removed from our telephone, mail or e-mail
marketing lists. We use these lists to inform you of relevant products,
services and special offers that may be of benefit to you.
- You may refuse to provide personal information to us. You may
also withdraw your consent at any time, subject to legal or contractual
restrictions and reasonable notice. However, in either case, this
may limit our ability to serve you.
If you have any questions or concerns about our privacy practices,
contact us at 1-604-730-6752 or write us at
. Otherwise, we will assume that we have your consent to continue
to collect, use and disclose your personal information for the purposes
identified above.
