Protection of personal information has always been a priority at MSH INTERNATIONAL and our policy sets high standards for collecting, using, disclosing and storing personal information.
Personal information is defined as any information that identifies you, or by which your identity could be deduced. We also have comprehensive procedures in place for managing personal information, such as physical, organizational, and technological safeguards, including enhanced security for online information. MSH INTERNATIONAL (CANADA) LTD abides by the Ten Privacy Principles, as defined by the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Act (PIPEDA), which can be found here.
We will use fair and lawful means to collect your personal information and will only collect information that is relevant and consistent with the purpose of collection. Your personal information will be provided to the risk carrier (insurer), other entities of MSH INTERNATIONAL, and the service providers involved in the administration of the insurance policy across the world. This means that your information may be transferred to countries outside of Canada, and would therefore be subject to the laws of those jurisdictions.
You may withhold or withdraw your consent for us to collect, use and disclose your personal information, as long as there are no legal or contractual reasons preventing you from doing so. Depending on the circumstances, however, withdrawal of your consent may impact our ability to continue to provide you with the products and services you have requested, or, in the case of insurance and group insurance benefits, it may prevent us from keeping your coverage in force, or properly evaluating and processing any claims.
You have the right to access and verify your personal information maintained in our files, and to request that any factually inaccurate personal information be corrected, if appropriate. Depending on the circumstances, we may not always be able to give you access to all information. Should this happen, we will let you know and explain the reason(s) why. As a subsidiary of a French company, we are compliant with the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), and you therefore also have the right to erasure, or restriction or opposition and portability, as well as the right to organize instructions relating to your personal data upon your death.
Per GDPR, MSH INTERNATIONAL, with its head office located in Season, 39 rue Mstislav Rostropovitch 75815 Paris Cedex 17, has appointed a Data Protection Officer along with Data Protection Correspondents and IT Risk Managers to ensure that data protection is dynamic and effective across its group of companies.
