Openness
Individuals from whom information is collected shall be advised that Trans-Lucent has policies and practices in place to securely manage such information.

Identify the Purpose
The specific purposes for which company information is collected and used shall be clearly identified and explained, in writing where possible, to the individual at or before the time the information is collected.

Obtaining Consent
The informed consent, in writing where possible, of the company is required for the collection, use, or disclosure of company information. There are limited circumstances where consent may not be possible and the Chief Privacy Officer shall be consulted prior to the collection, use or disclosure of the company information of an individual without their consent. A new consent shall be obtained from the individual if the personal information is to be used for a purpose other than that for which it was originally collected. The company is entitled to withdraw their consent at any time, and, with limited exceptions, this shall prohibit the corporation from making any further use of the information.

Limiting Collection
The collection of company information shall be limited to that which is necessary for the specific purposes identified. Information shall be collected by clear, fair and open means.

Limiting Use, Disclosure, and Retention
Company information shall not be used or disclosed for purposes other than those for which it was collected except with the consent of the individual or as required by law. Company information must be retained only as long as necessary for the fulfillment of those purposes, or as required by law, and thereafter destroyed in a secure manner ensuring the confidentiality of the company information.

Accuracy
Company information, and any disclosure of such information, shall be as accurate, complete, and up to date as is necessary for the purposes for which it is to be used.

Security
Company information, regardless of the format in which it is held, shall be protected by adequate security safeguards, including physical measures, technological tools and organizational controls, to protect against loss, theft or unauthorized access. Access to personal information shall be permitted strictly on a 'need to know' basis.

Access
Upon request and no later than thirty days thereafter, a company shall be informed of the existence, use, and disclosure of its information and shall be given access to that information, except in some limited circumstances. A company shall be able to challenge the accuracy and completeness of the information and have it amended as appropriate.
