This Personal Information Policy is subject to any amendments which will be posted on The Haunn Group's website and will also be available from The Haunn Group's Privacy Officer by calling 905-821-8224

Our privacy promise describes in clear language how The Haunn Group ensures the protection of the personal information entrusted to us.

Please read this document carefully, not because anything in it is difficult to understand, but because we want you to know The Haunn Group protects your personal information.

We view our Privacy Promise as more than not just a legal obligation.

When you become a The Haunn Group client, you share important personal information with us. You do this so we can serve you better and knowing we would honour and respect your privacy. Your trust is not misplaced.

Let's be perfectly clear. What is “personal information”?

“Personal information” is information about an identifiable individual, but does not include the name, title or business address or telephone number of an employee of an organization.

Collecting, using and disclosing your personal information. Why do we do it?

We collect, use and disclose personal information for one reason: to serve you better. Knowing you better helps us understand your financial needs, communicate effectively with you, and provide you with the services and products you want.

Let's be specific. We collect, use and disclose your personal information to:

• Verify your identity;
• Determine your eligibility for financial products and services;
• Assess and underwrite insurance and reinsurance risks ;
• Determine prices, fees and premiums;
• Determine the suitability of your investments;
• Comply with the law; or
• Comply with tax requirements

Personal information may be collected, used or disclosed for any of theses “Identified Purposes” set out above. If your personal information is not needed for one of the Identified Purposes, we will not use or disclose it without obtaining additional consent from you.

How do we gather your personal information?

• From you, on applications for insurance and investment products or on other forms filled out through telephone, e-mail, face to face interviews; for example your name, address, telephone number, e-mail address, occupation, financial and banking information, and health information;
• From your interactions with us; for example through your payment history and underwriting;
• From government and other entities, that have information on your driving records;
• From consumer reporting agencies; for example your credit history

Your consent.

Your knowledge and consent are required before we may collect, use or disclose your personal information. If any of the personal information that we collect is sensitive, such as health information, we will obtain additional written or oral consent from you before collecting, using or disclosing the information.

How do you provide us with your consent?

We accept any of the following as your consent for The Haunn Group's existing use and future collection, use and disclosure of your personal information for the Identified Purposes:

• Your receipt of this Personal Information Policy;
• Your unrestricted provision of information to The Haunn Group;
• Your express written or oral consent as obtained through an application process; or
• Your consent as provided by your authorized representative, such as a legal guardian or power of attorney

You have the power to say no. How you can withdraw your consent.

You may withdraw your consent at any time upon reasonable notice, subject to legal or contractual restrictions. Please note, however, that withdrawing your consent may affect our ability to continue to provide you with the advice, products and services that you have or would like to receive.

To withdraw your consent, you should contact our Privacy Officer, Diana Dias at 905-821-8224 ext. 22 or 17-6645 Kitimat Road , Mississauga , ON L5N 6J3. Unless we hear otherwise from you, you are giving to us your consent for the collection, use and disclosure of personal information as provided in this Policy for the Identified Purposes.

How long do we keep your personal information?

Your personal information is retained only as long as we need it to effectively provide products and services to you, and for a reasonable length of time thereafter in case we need to meet any potential obligations or legal or government requirements. The Haunn Group shall use care when storing or destroying your personal information in order to prevent unauthorized access.

How do we protect your personal information?

Whether in electronic or paper-based format, The Haunn Group maintains strict security systems to safeguard your personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure or misuse. As well, when we no longer need your personal information, we take as much care to destroy it as we do when storing it.

In the event that we transfer your personal information to a third party for processing (for example, need some examples like off-site server, ISP provider), we contractually require any person or organization providing products or services on our behalf to protect our customers' confidentiality in a manner consistent with our own internal measures, or as required by law.

Your right to access your personal information.

You have a right to access your personal information that we have in our possession or control.

How do you access your personal information?

Please make your request in writing to Diana Dias, The Haunn Group's Privacy Officer, stating as specifically as possible which personal information you are requesting.

We will try to respond to such requests as soon as possible, and will advise you if for some reason we cannot respond right away. The Haunn Group may charge you a reasonable fee for providing access to your personal information, but only after first advising you of the approximate cost.

Keeping your information accurate. A priority.

The Haunn Group strives to ensure that the personal information we have on file about you is as accurate and up-to-date as necessary for the Identified Purposes for which it is to be used. If any information needs to be updated or amended to reflect a change in your situation, we make every effort to update our records. The Haunn Group shall amend personal information that is materially inaccurate or incomplete and, where appropriate, shall endeavour to advise other parties having access to the information in question.
