COPIBEC has created this Privacy Policy in order to demonstrate our firm commitment to confidentiality. Our information gathering and disclosure practices for this website are set out below.

COPIBEC does not collect personal information about you while you are browsing unless you order literature by email or through downloads, send an email to COPIBEC or subscribe to a specific service which requires that information.

 

2. Required information

In order to enable you to request information, subscribe to COPIBEC services or apply for a licence, COPIBEC requires certain personal information such as your name, email address, postal code, credit card number, card expiration date, social insurance number, etc.

For example, if you are a right's holder and want to include your works in COPIBEC’s Repertoire, COPIBEC needs your SIN for tax purposes. Personal information is obtained by COPIBEC only if you supply it voluntarily.

3. Non-disclosure of personal information

COPIBEC does not transmit any personal information collected through this website to any third parties unless it has obtained your prior consent. COPIBEC does not sell the list of users of this website.

In addition, certain COPIBEC employees will have access to your personal information to meet your needs and provide you with information about specific products or services.

These employees and agents (suppliers/consultants) are required to respect the terms of this Privacy Policy and signed a confidentiality agreement to that effect.
