Benoit's Commitment to Privacy

Privacy of customer, supplier and employee personal information is important to Benoit. Benoit is committed to protecting the privacy of individuals and safeguarding personal information. Benoit has developed a Privacy Policy in compliance with the requirements of privacy legislation and is committed to maintaining its Privacy Policy to a standard of meeting of exceeding the requirements of applicable legislation.

Benoit may collect, use, store and disclose personal information about an individual to the extent reasonably necessary for purposes identified in order to conduct its business. Personal information will not be used or disclosed for purposes other than which it was collected, unless permitted or required by law.

Policy

Personal Information is information about an identifiable individual, but does not include business contact information. Benoit is committed to maintaining the confidentiality, security and accuracy of personal information as required by privacy legislations. The following ten basic principles comprise Benoit's Privacy Policy:

1. Accountability

Benoit is responsible for maintaining and protecting the personal information under its control and shall be accountable for their compliance with the principles of this Privacy Policy and the related governing legislation.

2. Indentifying Purposes

The purposes for which personal information is collected will be identified at or before the time the information is collected unless privacy legislation permits otherwise.

3. Consent

Individual's consent will be obtained for the collection, use or disclosure of personal information, except where exemption is provided under the law.

Certain privacy legislation differentiates between personal information related to employment relationship and other personal information. The respective privacy legislation provides for personal employee information to be treated differently form other personal information in that it can be collected, used and disclosed in administering an employment relationship, or potential employment relationship, without consent of the individual.

Benoit will seek to obtain an individual's consent to use and disclose personal information at the time it is collected. We may seek an individual's express consent in writing or by e-mail or, consent may be implied when an individual provides us with personal information.

On giving reasonable written notice to Benoit, an individual may withdraw consent to the collection, use or disclosure of their personal information at any time.

4. Limiting Collection

The collection of personal information will be limited to that which is necessary for the purposes identified.

5. Limiting Use, Disclosure and Retention

Personal information will only be used or disclosed for the purposes for which it was collected, unless otherwise consented by the employee or when permitted or required by law. Personal information will be retained only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected.

Benoit will maintain reasonable controls and practices to ensure that personal information is retained only as long as necessary for the purposes identified and destroyed once the personal information is no longer relevant, required to be retained by law or necessary for the purposes identified.

6. Accuracy

Personal information will be maintained as accurate, complete and up-to-date as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected. Benoit will not necessarily update personal information routinely but rather, will update it only when it is necessary to fulfill the purposes identified.

It is the responsibility of the individual to make Benoit aware of any incorrect personal information or changes to it.

7. Safeguards

Security safeguards appropriate to the sensitivity level of the personal information shall be used to protect the information from loss, theft, unauthorized access, use, disclosure or modification.

8. Openness

Benoit will provide information to individuals concerning its policies and procedures relating to the management of personal information under our control.

9. Individual's Access

Upon a written request addressed to Benoit Oilfield Construction (1997) Ltd. management, an individual will be informed of the existence, use and disclosure of their personal information and my be provided access to that information as required and permitted by law. Upon submitting a request for access to personal information, the individual will be required to provide proof of identification in order to permit Benoit to authorize access to the personal information.

Benoit may refuse to provide access to personal information if, disclosure of the information would reveal confidential commercial information, the information could reveal personal information about another individual, the information could reasonably be expected to threaten the life or security of another individual or where the information is protected by legal privilege.

10. Challenging Compliance

An individual may address inquiries or complaints concerning compliance to Benoit's management in writing.

Benoit will investigate all complaints concerning compliance and its Privacy Policy and if necessary, will take appropriate measures to remedy the issue resulting in the complaint, including correcting information handling practices and policies where necessary. Complainants will be notified, in writing, of the outcome of an investigation clearly and promptly, informing them of an relevant steps taken.

Individuals are encouraged to first attempt to resolve a complaint following Benoit's complaint procedures. However, individuals have the right to submit a written complaint to the Information and Privacy Commissioner specific to their province or territory.
