In order to collect, use, or disclose your personal information we will obtain your informed consent. This consent may be obtained directly from you or through a third party if you have authorized that third party to give us your information. If we want to use your information for a new purpose that was not initially disclosed, we will need to get your additional consent for the new purpose.

WHAT IS CONSENT?

Consent may be express or implied. We may obtain express consent over the phone or in writing. Our contracts with clients, employees, and independent contractors will contain a provision authorizing us to collect and use your personal information. We may obtain implied consent when given the circumstances; we can assume that you would agree to the collection and use of your personal information. For example, if you request a quote from us, we can assume that you have consented to our collection and use of the information necessary to produce the quote, such as your address and consumption volumes. Exceptions to the consent requirement: We may only collect or use your personal information without your consent if it is already publicly available. We may only disclose your personal information without your consent if we are required to do so by law or court order, the disclosure is made to our lawyer, our suppliers, the information is already publicly available, or in the event of a sale of Link's businesses to a potential buyer. Withdrawal of consent: You have the right to withdraw your consent to our use of your personal information. However, we need your personal information to do business with you, so withdrawal of consent will likely cause the cancellation of any existing contracts between us and you, as well as any applicable financial consequences for early cancellation.

We only collect the personal information that is reasonably required for the operation of our business.

We collect personal information only for the purposes specified in Principle 2. If we want to use your personal information for a new purpose that was not disclosed when we obtained your consent, we will request your additional consent for the new purpose. Subject to the exceptions listed under Principle 3, we will not disclose your personal information to third parties without your consent. We will only retain your personal information for the amount of time that we reasonably require. We will retain personal information regarding clients, employees, and independent contractors for the length of any contract, plus a reasonable time following the end of the contract to allow us to comply with any contractual, legal, regulatory, or audit requirements. Following the end of this period, the information will be deleted or shredded.

It is necessary that the personal information we hold be as accurate as possible. To that end, we endeavor to keep our information accurate and make any necessary changes. We also encourage our clients, employees, contractors, and business associates to inform us of any changes in their personal information so that we may keep accurate records.

We will protect your personal information by using security measures appropriate to the information's sensitivity. This will include physical measures such as locking filing cabinets, technological measures such as passwords, and organizational measures such as limiting access to those who need to know the personal information.

Link publishes its privacy policy on its website. Anyone who has additional questions about how we handle personal information may also contact our Privacy Officer at 1-855-444-5465 ext. 4.
