SEC
3URE is an online service provided by Intellicentrics Solutions Inc. and its affiliates (“Intellicentrics” or “We”) that (1) allows SEC
3URE’s healthcare industry representative (the “Healthcare Industry Representative”) members to be credentialed for purposes of providing them with access to healthcare providers’ hospitals in the course of discharging their role as Healthcare Industry Representatives and (2) allows SEC
3URE’s healthcare provider members to screen and track Healthcare Industry Representative members who access their hospitals in the course of discharging their role as Healthcare Industry Representatives. To this end, SEC
3URE’s healthcare provider members can view profiles of the Healthcare Industry Representative members. To enable all of SEC
3URE’s members to reap the benefits of credentialing, we request and display some personal information of SEC
3URE’s Healthcare Industry Representative members to SEC
3URE’s healthcare provider members, which information allows our healthcare provider members to identify the Healthcare Industry Representative members and make informed decisions regarding their business partners. SEC
3URE’s Healthcare Industry Representative members can change the portion of their profile information that they have supplied to Intellicentrics at any time.
At Intellicentrics, we are committed to protecting the privacy of any personal information in our custody and control. Intellicentrics has developed this privacy policy (the “Privacy Policy”) to describe the way in which we collect, use, disclose, retain, and otherwise manage personal information, including the personal information collected through the Website
www.sec3ure.ca (the “Website”).
For the purposes of this Privacy Policy, “Personal Information” means “personal information” as defined in the
Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) or, other provincial-level privacy legislation, as applicable. “Personal Health Information” has the meaning defined in the
Personal Health Information Protection Act (Ontario) or other applicable health privacy legislations.

Intellicentrics will limit the collection of both the amount and the type of Personal Information to that which is reasonably necessary to fulfill the identified purposes or as otherwise identified in this Privacy Policy.

User profile information, including, without limitation, the pictures and names of Healthcare Industry Representative members, is displayed on the Website in order to facilitate interaction between and among Healthcare Industry Representative members and healthcare provider members on the Website. With the exception of allowing healthcare provider members to review Healthcare Industry Representative members profiles, and unless a Healthcare Industry Representative member otherwise consents to having his or her email address shared or displayed, we will not share or display to others a Healthcare Industry Representative member’s email address others. Healthcare provider members can communicate with each other on the Website through the SEC
3URE service without disclosing their email addresses.
When and to whom we may disclose your Personal Information
In order to allow us to provide our services, including the SEC
3URE service, to the specific hospitals and healthcare facilities that you select, your Personal Information may be disclosed to these organizations at your request and on your behalf and you hereby consent to such disclosure.
The vendor with which you are employed may also have access to your Personal Information for the purposes of managing its account with us.
We may also share some or all of your Personal Information in connection with or during the negotiation of any merger, financing, acquisition or dissolution transaction or proceeding involving a sale, transfer, divestiture, or disclosure of all or a portion of our business or assets. If another company acquires our company, business, or assets, that company may possess the personal information collected by us and will assume the rights and obligations regarding your personal information as described in this privacy policy.
We may anonymize or aggregate your Personal Information (excluding your Personal Health Information) so that you are not identifiable, and provide that information to our partners or use that information for marketing or promotional items. However, except as described elsewhere in this policy, we do not disclose aggregate information to a partner in a manner that would identify you personally as an individual.
Intellicentrics will not disclose, trade, rent, sell or transfer your Personal Information without your consent, except as otherwise set out in this Privacy Policy.
Service Provider Arrangements: We may transfer (or otherwise make available) your Personal Information to third parties who provide services on our behalf and you hereby consent to such transfer. For example, we may use service providers to (i) authorize and process payments, (ii) manage the Website, computer and other business systems, and (iii) conduct credential verifications. All of our service providers are required to maintain the confidentiality and security of your Personal Information and are prohibited from using your Personal Information for any purpose other than providing the services on our behalf or as otherwise required by applicable law.

Legal: Intellicentrics and our service providers may disclose your Personal Information (i) to a person who, in the reasonable judgment of Intellicentrics is providing or seeking the information as your agent, (ii) to government authorities, insurers, benefit providers, consultants or agents as reasonably required to establish, manage or terminate contractual and partnership relationships and agreements or in the case of a contravention of law, or, (iii) as otherwise required or permitted by applicable law. We may also disclose Personal Information where necessary for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims and to investigate or prevent actual or suspect loss or harm to persons or property.
The need for accuracy
Failure to provide Intellicentrics with accurate, complete, and up-to-date information may limit our ability to provide our services, including the SEC
3URE service. Accordingly, Intellicentrics relies on the diligence of users to supply information that is current, complete and accurate, and to update their information as appropriate.
Retention of your Personal Information
We have implemented procedures to retain your Personal Information only as long as necessary to meet the purposes for which it was collected, including as set forth in this Privacy Policy, or to otherwise meet legal requirements. The length of time Intellicentrics retains Personal Information varies depending on the purpose for which it was collected and the nature of the Personal Information.
The need for security
We have implemented reasonable administrative, technical and physical safeguards designed to protect your Personal Information against loss, misuse or unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration or destruction. For example, our employees are made aware of their privacy obligations and physical access to those areas, where Personal Information, is processed or stored is restricted to authorized employees only.
To provide you with increased security on the Website, access to certain Personal Information will be protected by a user-specific username and password that you select. You should not disclose your username or password to anyone. We will never ask you for your password in any unsolicited communication. Intellicentrics restricts access to member information to those of its employees and contractors who need access to perform their job functions, such as Intellicentrics’ customer service personnel and technical staff. Please note that Intellicentrics cannot guarantee the security of member account information or any communication between Intellicentrics and you. Unauthorised entry or use, hardware or software failure, and other factors may compromise the security of member account information at any time.
