In building a professional Coaching business, we have purposed that our privacy policy conform to the Canadian Standards Association (CSA) Model Code for the Protection of Personal Information (CAN/CSA - Q830-06).

We are committed to keeping personal information accurate, confidential, secure and private. We respect your privacy choices and concerns. We understand the influence the Internet can have on a person, both for good and harm. If a person’s personal privacy is breached, that good is at risk. Therefore:
We collect personal information about you only when you make the choice to provide it, and we will not share or otherwise profit from the distribution of personal data beyond the use you entrusted it to us to fulfill.
We do not share personally identifiable information (name, address, and/or email address) about you with anyone unless you give us permission to.
