These obligations apply to all members, employees, contractors and agents who provide services in connection with our delivery of services to our clients. REZA NIAM Wellness is committed to protecting the privacy of your personal information. We have developed this policy and related procedures to comply with the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act. This federal statute sets out ten principles:
Accountability
Identifying Purposes
Consent
Limiting Collection
Limiting Use, Disclosure and Retention
Accuracy
Safeguards
Openness
Individual Access
Challenging Compliance
These principles, which we expand upon in the sections below, govern our approach to respecting your privacy. REZA NIAM Wellness is responsible for personal information it holds or has under its control, including personal information it passes on to others with your permission.
What is personal information?
Canadian privacy legislation defines “personal information” broadly as information about an identifiable individual or as information that allows an individual to be identified. For the purposes of this policy, we rely on the definition used in the legislation. Generally speaking, personal information does not include what is considered business contact information: your name, title or position, business telephone or facsimile number, or business email address.
Privacy
REZA NIAM Wellness is responsible for the personal information we collect and hold. To ensure this accountability, we will respond to your inquiries and complaints regarding the protection and privacy of your personal information, and deal with requests for access to your information.
Purposes for the collection of personal information
The purposes for which personal information is collected by Purescapes include:
a) To provide information about our consulting and retreat services;
b) To accept inquiries from potential clients and provide the information that is requested;
c) To accept bookings for our services and to communicate with clients regarding their preferences for scheduled wellness assessments and workshops, and fitness classes;
d) To offer promotional material to our clients;
e) To administer the duties and compensation of our contractors;
f) To meet requirements imposed by law.
Collection, use and disclosure of personal information
Collection
Only information required for the purpose(s) identified will be collected. Only lawful means will be used to collect personal information.
To the extent appropriate:
personal information will be obtained directly from you; and
prior to collecting personal information from any other source, you will be notified or your written authorization will be obtained.
Use and disclosure
Personal information will not be used or disclosed for purposes other than those specified to you, except where required by law; or to protect the interests of REZA NIAM Wellness against criminal activity, fraud, and material misrepresentation in connection with the contract.
Use of cookies and non-personally identifiable information
To help make our site more responsive to the needs of potential clients and other visitors, we invoke a standard feature found in browser software, called a “cookie”, to assign each visitor a unique, random number; an anonymous user identification (ID) that resides on your computer. The cookie does not identify the visitor; we will not know who you are, even if we assign a cookie to your computer. A cookie cannot read data off your hard drive.
REZA NIAM Wellness keeps records of certain non-personally identifiable information such as the number of hits a Web page receives, Internet Protocol (IP) address, and other aggregate data. We do not link this aggregate data with any personal information. Third parties that help us administer our Web site may have access to this non-personally identifiable, aggregate data.
Ip addresses
Our Web servers automatically collect limited information about your computer’s connection to the Internet, including your IP address, when you visit our site. (Your IP address is a number that lets computers attached to the Internet know where to send you data – such as the Web pages you view.) Your IP address does not identify you personally. We use this information to deliver our Web page to you upon request, to tailor our site to the interests of our users and to measure traffic within our site.
You should note that our site(s) may include links to other Web sites whose privacy practices we do not control. Once you leave our servers (you can tell where you are by checking the URL in the location bar on your browser), use of any information you provide is governed by the privacy policy of the operator of the site you are visiting. If you provide information in the course of obtaining products or services through our site, use of any information you provide may be governed by the privacy policy of the provider of those products or services, even if it appears that you are on REZA NIAM Wellness-branded pages. These parties may have privacy policies and practices that differ from ours. If you cannot find the privacy policy of any of these sites via a link from the site’s homepage, you should contact the site directly for more information. We encourage everyone to be proactive in understanding how his or her information is collected and used online.
Consent to collection, use and disclosure
By submitting personal information to REZA NIAM Wellness or its service providers and agents, you agree that we may collect, use and disclose that personal information in accordance with this privacy policy and as permitted or required by law. Subject to legal and contractual requirements, you may refuse or withdraw your consent to certain of the identified purposes at any time by contacting the REZA NIAM Wellness at reza@rezaniam.com. If you refuse to consent or withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide you, or continue to provide you, with certain services or information. If you provide REZA NIAM Wellness or our service providers and agents with personal information of another individual, you represent that you have all necessary authority and/or have obtained all necessary consents from such person to enable us to collect, use and disclose the personal information provided for the purpose set forth in this privacy policy.
We may disclose your personal information to any prospective seller or buyer of all (or part of) our business or assets;
- if we are required to do so by law, any applicable regulation or to protect the rights, property, or safety of ourselves or others. This may include disclosing to other companies and organizations in connection with fraud protection and credit risk reduction.
There are circumstances where collection, use or disclosure may be justified or permitted, or where we are obliged to disclose personal information without your consent. These circumstances could include:
Where the information is publicly available;
Where we are required to do so by law or by order of a court or tribunal;
Where we believe, upon reasonable grounds, that there is an imminent risk to an identifiable person or group of death or serious bodily harm;
Where it is alleged that a member, associate or employee of REZA NIAM Wellness is guilty of a criminal offence, or is civilly liable in a legal action or other misconduct;
Where it is necessary to establish or collect fees.
In these circumstances, we will not collect, use or disclose more personal information than is required.
Storage, security and protection of personal information
Reza Niam Wellness endeavours to maintain appropriate physical, procedural and technical security over our offices and information storage facilities so as to prevent any unauthorized access, disclosure, copying, use or modification of personal information. Your personal information may be stored in secured physical locations and on computer network servers controlled by Reza Niam Wellness located either at our offices or at the offices of our service providers. To help protect the confidentiality of your personal information, Reza Niam Wellness employs physical, administrative and technological safeguards appropriate to the sensitivity of your personal information. For instance, we use secure computer data networks protected by industry standard firewalls and password protection systems. In addition, where personal information is sent to a third party for processing, we make sure, through our arrangements with them, that all personal information is kept secure.
Retention
It is our practice to retain our files and the personal information contained therein for a reasonable period of time. This retention policy was developed due to tax, regulatory and business needs, as well as for the benefit of our clients.
We will keep personal information only as a long as it is necessary, including for the purposes of updating the product or services or as required by law. When the personal information is no longer required, it will be shredded or otherwise destroyed.

Upon receiving a written request, and subject to any applicable exemptions, REZA NIAM Wellness will inform you of the current version of your personal information and will give you access to that information and the opportunity to correct any errors in it. Access requests should be sent to reza@rezania.com.
REZA NIAM Wellness endeavours to maintain the accuracy of all personal information on active matters. Personal information contained in closed files is not actively updated or maintained.
