We acknowledge the individual’s right to access their Personal Data. We shall allow an individual access to their Personal Data and will enable the individual the opportunity to correct, amend or delete inaccurate information, except where the burden or expense of providing access would be disproportionate to the risks to the privacy of the individual in the case in question or where the rights of persons other than the individual would be violated.

FOIPPA requires that anytime an organization collects Personal information, notice must be given to the person providing the information. If Invero is collecting private information from a customer for our own use, we will provide the following notice:

Most of our services are intended for use by organizations, and during the activities related to our services, Personal information may be collected from time to time. Invero has a published Privacy Policy that governs the protection and the use of that data, which can be accessed through our website at https://www.bluesilvershift.com/privacy-policy/.

Where systems Invero supports collects personal information on behalf of our clients, but are owned by our clients, our client organization is responsible for the processes and policies related to the collection by those systems.
