  • communicate with you regarding inquiries for information or customer service request or employment opportunities,

  • process credit card or other payment information as agreed to on the Website,
  • protect our business, and
  • maintain appropriate records for internal administrative purposes.

We only share your personal information with service providers in order to operate the Website and offer you the information or services you request. This includes sharing your personal information for

  • fraud prevention,
  • payment processing,
  • providing requested services or information,
  • operating the Website, and
  • customer service.

We only use service providers that ensure a comparable level of protection for your personal information, as provided in this Privacy Policy. Our contracts with our service providers ensure they comply with that obligation and use your personal information for the services requested.

Exceptionally, as allowed or required by law, we may have to disclose your personal information to law enforcement agencies where they demonstrate they have the legal authority to request it.

If we merge with another business, we will inform you of any impact on your personal information.

How long do we keep personal information?
We retain personal information for as long as required to provide the services for which it was collected, otherwise, in accordance with applicable legal and regulatory requirements.

Healthcare practitioners using OSCAR Pro are required to comply with various statutory and regulatory requirements and store personal health information for a specified minimum period. We encourage you to speak with your healthcare practitioner directly on how long they are required to store your personal information.

How do we keep personal information accurate?

We take reasonable steps to ensure that any personal information in our custody is accurate and up-to-date. However, we primarily rely on our healthcare practitioners to notify us of any changes to the personal information you have provided.

How do we protect your personal information?

We use physical, administrative and technical measures designed to help secure personal information against accidental or unlawful loss, access or disclosure.  Only staff and service providers who have a legitimate business purpose for accessing the personal information collected by us are authorized to do so. Unauthorized use of personal information by anyone affiliated with WELLSTAR is prohibited and constitutes grounds for disciplinary action. Although we take all necessary steps to protect your personal information, security breaches cannot be entirely eliminated, and we cannot guarantee that no breach will ever occur.

Where do we store personal information?

All personal information we collect is stored on secure servers in Canada; however, personal information processed by our third-party service providers may be done outside of Canada.

While outside of Canada, personal information is subject to that jurisdiction’s laws, which may permit governmental authorities the right to access your personal information.
