This Privacy Policy is to inform you of:

1. What is personal information?

2. Sensitive Information

 
2.1 What is Sensitive Information?
 
Sensitive information is a subset of personal information.

In general, we attempt to limit the collection of sensitive information we may collect from you, but we may be required to collect sensitive information from you in order to carry out the services provided to you. However, we do not collect sensitive information from you without your consent.
 
The type of sensitive information we may collect from you or record about you is dependent on the services provided to you by Club Parkview and will be limited to the purpose(s) for which it is collected. We do not use sensitive information to send you Direct Marketing Communications (as defined in paragraph 6 below) without your express consent.
