Protecting your personal and corporate information is important to Champion, and we want you to understand how we use personal and corporate information you provide us.

This Privacy Code sets out the privacy policy of Champion Sample Cards which applies to our products, services and customers.

When you browse any Champion website, you do so anonymously. On this website, personal information - including your email address is NOT collected for marketing purposes. You may, however, voluntarily supply us with personal information, including your email address, for the purpose of correspondence or where you have registered for an automatic notification service for selected products and services. This information will be used solely to respond to your request.

• We collect only customer information that is needed, and we tell customers how we use it. We limit the collection and retention of information about our customers to what we need to know to administer their accounts, to provide customer services, to offer new products and services, and to fulfill any legal and regulatory requirements. We tell our customers about the general uses of information we collect about them, and we will provide additional explanation if customers request it.

• We give customers choices about how their data will be used. For example, we give our subscribers the option to decide whether or not they wish to have their names removed from lists used for mail, telephone and online marketing. These opt-out choices include product and service offers from Champion and those made in conjunction with our business partners.

• We use information security safeguards. Access to customer data is limited to those who specifically need it to conduct their business responsibilities. We use security techniques designed to protect our customer data - especially when certain data is used by employees and business partners to fulfill customer services.

• We limit the release of customer information. In addition to providing customers with the opportunity to opt out of marketing offers, we release information only with the customers' consent or request, or when required to do so by law or other regulatory authority. When a court order or subpoena requires us to release information, we notify the customer promptly to give the customer an opportunity to exercise his or her legal rights. The only exceptions to this policy are when we are prohibited by court order or law from notifying the customer, or cases in which fraud and/or criminal activity is suspected.

• We give customers rights to access and correct their data. Upon written specific request, we will disclose to customers personal data about them that is entered in our records, and customers may correct any of such personal data that is inaccurate or incomplete. We will respond to a customer's request within thirty days, and advise the customer in advance of any charges for copies of his/her file. Some data may not be accessed if it refers to others, is subject to legal privilege, contains our proprietary information, cannot be retrieved using a customer's name or account number, or cannot be disclosed for legal reasons.  If we correct a customer's file, we will notify any person who received the incorrect data in the preceding six months and, where applicable, to the person who provided the incorrect information.

• We extend these privacy principles to our business relationships. We expect the companies we select as our business partners to honor our privacy principles in the handling of customer information. These include companies that (a) assist us in providing services to our customers; (b) supply us with information for identifying or evaluating prospective customers; or (c) are given the opportunity to send mailings to approved Champion customer lists. In selecting business partners, Champion considers the accuracy and quality of the data they provide, how they respond to consumer complaints and whether or not they provide opt-out choices for those whose information they process. We also participate actively in industry associations to support strong and effective privacy guidelines and practices.

• We hold employees responsible for our privacy principles. Each Champion  employee is personally responsible for maintaining consumer confidence in the company.  We conduct internal audits and may commission outside-expert reviews of our compliance with the privacy principles and the specific policies and practices that support the principles. Employees who violate these principles or other company policies and practices are subject to disciplinary action, up to and including dismissal. Employees are expected to report violations -and may do so confidentially - to their managers, to their business unit's compliance officer, or to the company's Ombudsperson.

• We are responsive to customers' requests for explanations. If we deny an application for our services or end a customer's relationship with us, to the extent permitted by applicable laws, we provide an explanation, if requested. We state the reasons for the action taken and the information upon which the decision was based, unless the issue involves potential criminal activity.

• Our customers' concerns are important to us.  If the customer has any questions or concerns, the customer can take the following action: write to the Compliance Officer at 13 - 55 Fleming Drive, Cambridge, Ontario, Canada, N1T 2A9.
