Privacy Policy

Your Privacy and Trust is important to us

At Meticulon, we are committed to maintaining the accuracy, confidentiality and security of your personal information. This Privacy Policy describes the personal information that we collect from or about you, how we use and to whom we disclose that information.

This Privacy Policy applies to and governs the Canadian activities of Meticulon and its affiliates (collectively "Meticulon"), and as a result, covers only those activities that are subject to the provisions of Canada’s federal and provincial privacy laws, as applicable. All references in this Privacy Policy to "Meticulon", "we", "us", "our" and like terms should be interpreted accordingly.

Meticulon has adopted a series of Privacy Policies in order to address the specific privacy concerns of certain groupings of individuals. This Privacy Policy applies to how we collect, use and disclose the personal information of those individuals who visit our website. We have developed other documents that describe our privacy policies and practices with respect to our employees (the "Employee Privacy Policy") and with respect to our customers, suppliers and other parties with whom we interact.

If you are unsure of which Privacy Policy applies to you, please contact our Privacy Officer for more information.
