As an organization that collects, uses and discloses personal information, EMMONS
FINANCIAL SERVICES is subject to the federal Personal Information Protection and
Electronic Document Act (or by similar laws in the provinces of Alberta, British Columbia and
Quebec), effective January 1st, 2004. In complying with these laws, it is important that
EMMONS FINANCIAL SERVICES provide you with information so that you may fully
understand the purposes for which your personal information is collected.
Over the course of your relationship with EMMONS FINANCIAL SERVICES and your
investment funds advisor, personal information will be collected in order to administer your
mutual fund account. This information typically includes your financial information and
investment objectives, in addition to your current investments, banking information and
your social insurance number. This information allows for but is not limited to the buying
and selling of mutual funds on your behalf, in addition to providing you with reporting and
the administration of your account in a compliant and regulatory manner.
At times, EMMONS FINANCIAL SERVICES may be required to provide this information to
mutual fund companies in which you invest, self-regulatory organizations, securities
regulators, law enforcement agencies and to companies that perform services on our behalf.
These organizations, like EMMONS FINANCIAL SERVICES are bound and must comply
with the same federal/provincial privacy act(s). EMMONS FINANCIAL SERVICES does
not disclose your information to any other organization(s) to use for their own
purposes and in particular will never sell or trade your personal information.
The purposes for which we collect, use and disclose your personal information are central to
our being able to provide you with our services. Should you have objections to the
collection and disclosure of your personal information, as listed in the foregoing, EMMONS
FINANCIAL SERVICES will no longer be in a position to provide you with these services.
Therefore, by maintaining your account with EMMONS FINANCIAL SERVICES we will
consider that you have consented to our collecting, using and disclosing your personal
information.
In representing EMMONS FINANCIAL SERVICES, your investment funds advisor is acting
on behalf of the mutual fund dealer, Investia Financial Services Inc. Your investment funds
advisor may also be licensed to sell other products and, therefore, may wish to provide you
with advice and services in that other capacity. Should they do so, your investment funds
advisor will communicate with you directly regarding any additional use or disclosure of your
personal information.
If you wish to review or make changes to your personal information you may do so by
making a written request to Privacy Officer, Investia Financial Services Inc., 6700, Pierre-Bertrand Blvd., Suite 300, Quebec, QC G2J 0B4.
Should you have any questions or concerns regarding the use of your personal information
we encourage you to speak with your Investment funds advisor. Alternatively, you may
contact the designated Privacy Officer for Investia Financial Services Inc., 6700, Pierre-Bertrand Blvd., Suite 300, Quebec, QC G2J 0B4. via fax at 418-684-5539 / 877-684-5549 or via email at compliance@investia.ca.
