Welcome to the nrws website (the "NRWS
site"), owned and managed by NRWS CORP. ("NRWS").
The NRWS products and services (collectively,
the "Products and Services") are offered
by NRWS through web pages at nrws and are
made available subject to this Privacy Policy.
This statement discloses the privacy practices
of the nrws site. By using the Products and
Services, you agree, without limitation or qualification,
to be bound by this Privacy Policy.
At NRWS we understand the importance of privacy.
We treat our customers as part of our team and
carefully protect all the information they have
entrusted to us. The information we request from
you will enable us to provide you with the highest
levels of personal service and quality. We will
not disclose any personal information to any external
company or person, except as described above,
without a customer’s informed consent unless
we are required by law to disclose this information.
With the growth of electronic media we recognize
that it is necessary to take further steps to
protect the privacy of the individual. We fully
support the new Canadian legislation, the Personal
Information Protection and Electronic Documents
Act, in its role to protect the privacy of the
individual. Our role in protecting an individual’s
privacy does not stop with this Act. We maintain
the security and confidentiality of the information
disclosed by our customers according to the strictest
standards. We are continually looking for additional
ways to ensure that the personal information we
hold is secure and used in a responsible and respectful
manner. As such, we have appointed a person responsible
for ensuring that the personal information entrusted
to us is secure and will not be used for purposes
other than what we require to deliver the service
our customers deserve and expect.
To summarize our commitment to Privacy, we have
detailed the following promises:
