We do not sell or rent personal information to other organizations. From time to time, and only when you have consented, we may also collect Personal Information about you from other organizations, or share your Personal Information with other organizations. A current list of these organizations is available upon request. We make a reasonable effort to ensure that you understand the purposes for which we hold, use or disclose your Personal Information, by telling you what those purposes are, generally at the time you provide your Personal Information. They may include: providing you with consumer or warranty services, developing new products, delivering services you have requested (such as on-line magazines), or marketing and promoting products, operating contests or events, administering and improving our websites, or for internal business and legal purposes. The Personal Information we collect is used or disclosed by or for us, or contractors on our behalf, only for the purposes for which it was collected. We may also disclose your Personal Information if we are required to do so by law. In the event that we were to sell or dispose of all or a part of our business, the transaction could require us to transfer Personal Information used in connection with the transferred business. In general, we rely on express consent. Except in Quebec, in certain limited circumstances we may rely on implied consent. You may withdraw your consent, subject to contractual restrictions, if any, by providing our Privacy Officer with reasonable notice, in writing, at the address above. We use reasonable efforts to keep Personal Information as accurate, complete and up-to-date as necessary and generally, rely on the consumer to update us as to any changes. We keep Personal Information only for as long as it is necessary for the purposes for which it was collected and as required by law. We use security safeguards that are appropriate to the form and sensitivity of the information. These safeguards include physical locks, technological safeguards such as passwords or encryption, and procedural safeguards that ensure that we limit access to Personal Information on a need to know basis. We are also requiring all of our service providers to ensure that they maintain adequate security measures. Personal Information is accessible to our employees and to the employees of organizations that act on our behalf. Only those employees who need to know the information for the purposes to which you have consented are granted access. If you would like to access or correct your personal information that is on file with us, please e-mail us at canadian.privacy@clorox.com or write to the Privacy Officer at the address above. When a request is made to us in writing we will respond in a timely fashion. We will tell you what Personal Information we have about you, how we use it and to whom it has been disclosed, at minimal cost. In the rare circumstance that we may not be able to give you complete access, we will explain why and explain any recourse you may have. Where information is corrected or updated, we will, if necessary, disclose such information to organizations that were provided the prior information.
