Privacy Plan
At UBG Builders Inc. we recognize that all personal information is private
and confidential. UBG Builders Inc.'s Privacy Plan ("Privacy Plan") governs

It is the intention of UBG Builders Inc., by way of this Privacy Plan, to
comply with privacy legislation and, in particular, with the requirements of the
federal Personal Information Protection and Electronic Document Act (PIPEDA).
UBG Builders recognizes the following key principles of
PIPEDA:
Accountability
UBG Builders Inc. acknowledges the importance and necessity of safeguarding
the private and confidential information belonging to our clients. As such, we have
appointed a Privacy Officer to ensure compliance with privacy legislation and to
inform all UBG Builders Inc.'s staff of the need to use the utmost discretion
when dealing with client information. UBG Builders Inc.'s privacy officer has
the responsibility to carefully analyze and alter collection procedures both on a
preliminary and ongoing basis to assure maximum privacy protection.
Purpose
UBG Builders Inc. will only use client information for the purposes
identified either before or at the time of collection. It is our policy that we
will not sell your information.
Consent
UBG Builders Inc. will only use client information for identified purposes
and if the information is required for any new use, UBG Builders Inc. will
take the necessary steps in order to seek additional consent. Consent may be
expressed in writing, orally or may be implied directly by yourself or your
authorized representative.
Collection
UBG Builders Inc. will only collect personal information as needed in
order to complete necessary documentation, determine eligibility and/or to comply
with regulations, policies, laws and legislation such as, the Money Laundering
(Terrorist Financing) Act. UBG Builders Inc.'s staff will do their best to
explain why collection of information is necessary in a clear and informative
fashion.
Use, Disclosure and Retention
UBG Builders Inc. will only retain personal information for as long as
needed in order to satisfy the stated purposes identified when the information
was collected. If it is deemed that an individual's personal information is no
longer required, UBG Builders Inc. will take the necessary measures to
destroy, dispose, or erase the information in a manner that will ensure that
information cannot be found or used by an unauthorized party.
Accuracy
UBG Builders Inc. strives to maintain accurate client information, which
not only help us provide better customer service but also minimizes the potential
misuse of personal information.
Safeguards
UBG Builders Inc. understands the importance of protecting personal
information and therefore, implements a number of safeguards against unauthorized
access or improper disclosure. For example, UBG Builders Inc.'s computer
network, employee computers, laptops, and phone message centers are all password
protected. In addition, filing cabinet units and storage rooms containing personal
information are locked and can only be accessed by designated individuals. General
entry to our offices is secured and cannot be accessed by unauthorized personnel
without permission.
Our safeguards are supported by ongoing communication to our employees about
the importance of secure client information and continual maintenance and periodic
review of our Privacy Plan and procedures. UBG Builders Inc.'s employees are
subject to a strict code of conduct when it comes to your personal information.
Directness
At UBG Builders Inc. we make our best effort to inform clients of our
policies and procedures and to explain how we manage personal information. Our
Privacy Plan can be found on our website or can be requested via email or phone.
If you have additional questions or concerns, our privacy officer will do her best
to help you understand our procedures and policies.
Access
When requested and supported by sufficient identity information, Unity
Investments Inc. will provide you with your personal information as maintained
in your client files. We recognize your right to your own information, how it is
used and to whom it is disclosed.
If an error or discrepancy is found in your personal information, we will act
efficiently (in less than thirty days) to correct the mistake. An extension will
only be applied if the request will unreasonably interfere with our business
affairs.
Complaints and Recourse
UBG Builders Inc.'s privacy officer will deal with any complaints or
conflicts arising in regards to the collection, use and disclosure of personal
information. In order to adequately address the complaint, all details will be
recorded and a file will be created. All individuals involved will be notified
of an enquiry into the complaint. Once a decision of recourse has been determined,
all parties involved will be informed of the outcome. UBG Builders Inc.'s
privacy officer can provide you with a more complete description of the recourse
process. Individuals who are not satisfied with UBG Builders Inc.'s recourse
procedure can bring the complaint to the attention of the federal Privacy
Commissioner.
The measures outlined in this Privacy Plan in order to abide by PIPEDA's key
principles are intended to provide clients with comfort that UBG Builders
Inc.'s staff regards personal information with the utmost importance. The Privacy
Plan is also created to provide the right of access to personal information and
an avenue to address any concerns individuals may have about the use of their
information.
