Privacy Policy

At S.C Restorations Ltd, we are committed to providing our clients, customers, and employees
with exceptional service. As providing this service involves the collection, use and disclosure of
some personal information about our clients, customers, and employees protecting their
personal information is one of our highest priorities.
While we have always respected our clients, customers, and employee’s privacy and
safeguarded their personal information, we have strengthened our commitment to protecting
personal information as a result of British Columbia’s Personal Information Protection Act
(PIPA). PIPA, which came into effect on January 1, 2004, sets out the ground rules for how B.C.
businesses and not-for-profit organizations may collect, use and disclose personal information.
We will inform our clients, customers, and employees of why and how we collect, use and
disclose their personal information, obtain their consent where required, and only handle their
personal information in a manner that a reasonable person would consider appropriate in the
circumstances.
This Personal Information Protection Policy, in compliance with PIPA, outlines the principles
and practices we will follow in protecting clients, customers, and employee’s personal
information. Our privacy commitment includes ensuring the accuracy, confidentiality, and
security of our clients, customers, and employees’ personal information and allowing our
clients, customers, and employees to request access to, and correction of, their personal
information
