Background

This Privacy Policy sets out how Safetycare Inc. OCN 852436 (“Safetycare”) protects the privacy of your personal information.

Safetycare is a company that provides organizations with access to safety training video content streamed over the internet. Our online delivery platform ‘Safetyhub’ provides our clients access to the videos as well as a Learning Management System (LMS) where customers can add training participants into the system to complete online safety training assessments. We refer to this platform as well as the services required to support the platform as the “Platform” within this document.

Safetycare needs to collect, use and disclose personal information in order to perform our business functions and activities in delivery of the Platform in accordance with our Terms and Conditions.

We are firmly committed to protecting the privacy and confidentiality of personal information and to maintaining various physical, electronic and procedural safeguards to protect personal information in our care.

For the purposes of the General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679 (“GDPR”) Safetycare will be the data controller as we determine how and why your personal information is processed.

By providing personal information to us, you agree that this Privacy Policy will apply to how we handle your personal information and you consent to us collecting, using and disclosing your personal information as detailed in this Privacy Policy to enable provision of the services of the Platform.

If you do not agree with any part of this Privacy Policy, you must not provide your personal information to us or utilize the Platform.

If you do not provide us with your personal information, or if you withdraw a consent that you have given under this Privacy Policy, the features available to you and or your company within the Platform may be reduced or withheld. This may affect our ability to provide services to you or negatively impact the services we can provide to you.
