(1) TYPES OF INFORMATION COLLECTED

FIRST MEP DESIGN's website does not collect any personal information about visitors to this site other than that which is specifically and knowingly provided by you (e.g. employment form). Any such personal information will not be transferred to any third party unless otherwise stated at the time of collection.

We collect personal information only by lawful and fair means and not in an unreasonably intrusive way. As far as possible, we collect your personal information directly from you.

We do collect and maintain statistics relating to the number of visits to the website, the types of browsers and operating systems used and the internet protocol address of the originator. This information is used only for the purpose of monitoring users of our website in order to provide an effective and user-friendly website. No attempt is made to correlate these details with personal information that an individual submits voluntarily.

(2) PROTECTION OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

FIRST MEP DESIGN maintains physical, procedural and technical safeguards appropriate to the sensitivity of your personal information reasonably sufficient to prevent any loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure or modification of your personal information. FIRST MEP DESIGN restricts access to personal information to only those employees and third parties who have a need to know the personal information.

We will keep your personal information for only as long as we need it to fulfill the purposes we have identified or as required by law.

Under certain circumstances, we will disclose your personal information. Examples of when your personal information may be disclosed is:

if required or authorized by law to do so;
if necessary to respond to an emergency that threatens the life, health or security of an individual or the public;
if the information is already publicly known; or
if you have otherwise consented to the disclosure.

In each case, we ensure that any third parties to whom we disclose personal information adhere to privacy policies at least as stringent as ours.

We do not disclose or sell your personal information to any third party for any marketing purpose.

You have the right to request a correction of the personal information that we hold about you and request that you please inform us of any changes to your information so that we may make any necessary changes.

(3) ACCESS TO YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

You may request access to the personal information we have about you. The request must be in writing and directed to FIRST MEP DESIGN’s Privacy Officer. We may charge a reasonable fee for retrieval and copying of your personal information. If the retrieval or copying related to your request is extensive, we will notify you of the fee prior to proceedings.

(4) DENIAL OF ACCESS TO PERSONAL INFORMATION

Your rights to access your personal information are not absolute.

We may deny access when:

required or authorized by law;
granting you access would have an unreasonable impact on another person's privacy;
to protect FIRST MEP DESIGN's rights and property.
the request is frivolous or vexatious.

If we deny your request for access to, or refuse a request to correct personal information, we will explain why.

(5) ACCEPTANCE OF THIS PRIVACY POLICY

By using the FIRST MEP DESIGN site, we will assume that you consent to the collection, use and disclosure of your personal information as described in this Privacy Policy. In certain circumstances we may request your express consent which you may give orally, electronically or in writing. However, you may withdraw your consent, in whole or in part, at any time on reasonable notice to our Privacy Officer, but such withdrawal may be limited by legal obligations existing at that time.

We may amend this policy at any time by posting a revised Privacy Policy on our website. Your continued use of our website by following the posting of changes or amendments to this Privacy Policy constitutes your acceptance of such changes and amendments.
