Privacy policy

Privacy Policy

The Saskatchewan Institute of Agrologists has a commitment to protect the privacy of all members. Information which can identify an individual (called "personal information" in this policy) is required for the purpose of communicating with members.

Information Collection
SIA will only collect information such as name, address, telephone numbers, email address, etc. that is required for the proper functioning of the Institute.

Use of Information
The information provided on the invoices is maintained electronically and in hard copy files. Both of these are protected and are not released without permission. If required by law or an investigative body, SIA may be required to release personal information. SIA will have no legal liability for such disclosures.

SIA uses the personal information to issue invoices, and to communicate directly with each individual on matters relating to the Institute. No personal information is provided to "third party" users without the written consent of the individual.

Disclosure of Information
Each individual who is an agrologist or an agricultural technologist and who is registered with SIA, is asked for permission to have their personal information included on the SIA website and to have their personal information released to branches for the sole purpose of communication. Only when permission is received does SIA proceed to release personal information.

Updating Personal Information
Outdated information is of little value. Every attempt is made to keep individual files up to date and accurate. It is the responsibility of each person registered with SIA to notify the office of any changes, errors or omissions. Through invoicing, files are updated annually. Individuals may withdraw permission to distribute personal information by contacting the SIA office.

Policy Changes
The SIA privacy policy is reviewed regularly to ensure privacy interests of members. SIA reserves the right to change and update the privacy policy from time to time if additional privacy protection is required. Changes to the SIA privacy policy will appear on the SIA website.
