The Vermillion Sustainability Alliance (“Vermillion Alliance”) understands the necessity of staunch and vigorous protection of the information which we are entrusted with in the course of administering a worldwide recognition and awards initiative.
The Vermillion Alliance complies fully with Alberta’s Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA) and Canada’s Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA).
We collect and use the personal information provided by applicants in only the ways that permission has been given, and only as necessary to allow correspondence and access to services and programs; we obtain permission before using personal information in new ways.
With regards to the personal identifying information provided to us: The Vermillion Alliance never sells, rents, shares, trades or otherwise discloses it to anyone outside of The Vermillion Alliance and its contractors, unless such disclosure is required by law.
Occasionally, we partner with or subcontract to other companies and individuals to enhance service delivery. Such companies or individuals may have access to personal information, but only as needed to perform their functions, and the information always stays under the control of The Vermillion Alliance people.
If, however, you choose to contract with or otherwise provide information directly to any of our winners or partners or to other organizations you learn about at this website, then you should know that each will apply a privacy policy that The Vermillion Alliance has not reviewed. The Vermillion Alliance is not responsible for outside parties’ privacy policies and you should review any such policies before providing any personal information.
