Privacy Statement
Westbridge Capital Ltd. (“Westbridge”, “we”), respects the privacy of its website visitors. We protect and control the collection, use and disclosure of personal information of individuals that visit this website, in accordance with applicable Canadian privacy laws and this Privacy Statement.
This Privacy Statement summarizes our personal information management practices. By visiting this website, you indicate that you understand, consent and accept to the collection, use and disclosure of your personal information and the practices described in this Privacy Statement. Westbridge reserves the right to modify the terms and conditions of this Privacy Statement at any time, and such modifications shall be effective immediately upon posting of the modified Privacy Statement on this website. You agree to review this Privacy Statement periodically to be aware of such modifications, and your continued use of the website following the posting of any modified terms shall be deemed to be your conclusive acceptance of the modified Privacy Statement. If you do not agree with our policies and practices, your choice is not to use our website.
Privacy laws in Canada generally define “personal information” to mean any information that can be used to identify an individual, including information such as your name, email address, mailing address, and other information.
We take reasonable steps to ensure that the personal information you provide is secure. However, as the security of electronic systems or email cannot be guaranteed, we do not recommend sending sensitive personal information to Westbridge electronically.
Other sites to which we provide links may be governed by different policies. Westbridge does not assume responsibility for the content or information practices of these other websites, and we strongly encourage all website visitors to review the privacy statements and policies of all externally-linked sites.
Personal Information Management Practices
Westbridge collects personal information, through this website and email, only as permitted or required by law. For example, we may collect your personal information through this website when you choose to provide us with feedback or send us an email through the Contact Us section. By providing your personal information to us electronically, you consent to the collection, use and disclosure of your personal information as described in this Privacy Statement. Westbridge also collects your Internet Protocol (IP) address.
We use personal information for the purposes for which you provide it to us, and as permitted or required by law. In particular, we use personal information that you provide electronically for purposes that include:
1. assessing website use and traffic;
2. processing your requests for, and sending you, email updates and any other information you have requested;
3. responding to your feedback and questions; and
4. evaluating, processing and responding to your job applications, and retaining such applications for present and future consideration.
We will disclose personal information only as permitted or required by law. We do not sell, rent or lease the personal information we collect to third parties.
We permit limited and secured access to personal information we collect by service providers that we hire to perform services on our behalf to support our business, including assisting in processing, storing or warehousing the personal information that you voluntarily provide to us electronically. Westbridge uses contractual or other means to require these third parties to commit to protecting personal information to a level comparable to that provided by Westbridge. Some of these third parties may be located outside of Canada and, as such, they are subject to foreign laws including laws that may require disclosure of personal information to foreign government authorities.
The nature of the internet is such that it passively and automatically collects certain information about a user’s traffic patterns linked to their IP addresses. These are unique internet “addresses” assigned to all users by their Internet Service Providers (ISP). IP addresses are automatically logged by web servers. While the IP address does not identify an individual on its face, it may, with the cooperation of the ISP, be used to locate and identify an individual using the website.
Server Logs
We do not link server log information to any other data, in a way that would enable us to identify individual visitors. However, we may review server logs for security purposes, for example, to detect intrusions into our network. The possibility therefore exists that server log data, which contains visitors’ IP addresses, could in instances of criminal malfeasance be used to trace and identify individuals. In such instances, raw data logs would be shared with appropriate investigative bodies authorized to investigate such breaches of security.
Cookies
As with many other websites, our website makes use of session and permanent “cookie” technology. Cookies are small text files that contain a unique identification number that is automatically deposited on a visitor’s computer. This information helps us determine, in the aggregate, the total number of visitors to the site on an ongoing basis and the types of internet browsers (e.g., Chrome or FireFox) and operating systems (e.g., Windows or MacIntosh) used by our visitors. This information is used to facilitate and enhance your online visits. We do not cross-reference the information automatically collected through “cookies” with any type of personal information that is voluntarily offered on or through this website.
The use of cookie technology is common on the internet, and many internet browsers are initially configured to accept cookies automatically. If you would prefer not to accept cookies, you can set your internet browser to notify you when your computer is receiving a cookie or to refuse cookies automatically. To re-adjust your internet browser’s cookie options, please refer to the instruction documentation of your particular browser or seek online assistance.
Spam
Westbridge is respectful of its website visitors and the individuals that interact with Westbridge. As such, we place a high importance on controlling unsolicited commercial email.
We will not sell, lease, or rent any email address lists to third parties. We provide an opportunity for any user to unsubscribe from our mailing list or opt-out of contact on an ongoing basis by using the unsubscribe mechanism at the bottom of our e-mails.
Contact Information and Compliance
It is important that the personal information we hold about you is accurate. You have the right, and Westbridge will facilitate the exercise of your right to, access, update, correct or delete your personal information that we hold, as required by privacy laws.
We welcome your questions, comments and requests regarding this Privacy Statement and our privacy practices. For inquiries relating to: (1) accessing, updating, correcting or deleting your personal information; (2) withdrawing your consent to the collection, use and transfer of your personal information; or (3) obtaining additional information about our online privacy practices, our compliance with this Privacy Statement, and with applicable privacy laws, please contact us at:
