What is Personal Information?
Personal information is information about an identifiable individual. Personal information includes information that relates to their business or their activities and views (e.g. opinions expressed by an individual, an opinion or evaluation of an individual). Personal information is to be contrasted with business information (e.g., an individual’s business address and telephone number), which is not protected by privacy legislation.

Hurricane Performance may use a number of specialists if necessary that may, in the course of duties, have limited access to personal information. Access is restricted to any personal information that is held as much as is reasonably possible. Hurricane Performance also has assurance that appropriate privacy principles are followed.
Collecting Personal Information: Primary Purposes
About Clients
Hurricane Performance collects uses and discloses personal information in order to serve clients. The primary purpose for collecting personal information is to provide the best quality customer services. It would be rare to collect such information without the client’s express consent.
About Members of the General Public
For members of the general public, the primary purpose is for collecting personal information and to provide notice of special offers or to make them aware of services in general.

Hurricane Performance only collects the personal information you provide and only use that information for the purpose you gave it.

It is rare to collect such information without prior consent or to investigate a possible breach of law. If contract staff, volunteers or students wish a letter of reference or an evaluation, Hurricane Performance will collect information about their work related performance and provide a report as authorized by them.
