Privacy Statement

This Privacy Statement describes how Significant Celebrations may collect, use and disclose personal information. This Privacy Statement applies to any personal information we collect or receive about you, from any source. Reference to “you” or “your” includes your personal representative.

Personal Information

‘Personal information’ means information about an identifiable individual. Examples of personal information that we may collect, use and disclose include your contact information (name, address, phone number, email address), your billing information (credit card number or banking information), information about the products and services which you have ordered, your interest in obtaining information about Significant Celebrations’ products and services (or the products or services of others), information about your personal representative, caregivers, family or friends, and other information that you may provide to us or that we may collect from other sources in the course of our relationship with you.

Our collection, use and disclosure of personal information

In most cases, we will collect personal information directly from you when you purchase or interact with us about a product or service that we offer or provide (for example, when you email us or contact us through our website or when you enter into certain contests or promotions with us). Occasionally, we may collect personal information from a third party based on your consent or as otherwise permitted by law.

We identify the purposes for which we may collect, use and disclose your personal information at the time that we collect such information or by referring to this Privacy Statement. Such purposes for the collection, use and disclosure of personal information include, but are not limited to:

  • Informing you about our products and services, and the products and services of our affiliates and partners, except where you have opted out or unsubscribed from receiving such information;
  • Internal business purposes, such as responding to your questions and inquiries, and administering and improving our customer service, website and other services;
  • Sharing obituaries and accompanying photograph(s) with third party publishers (such as newspapers);
  • Creating an online memorial including but not limited to an obituary, photograph(s) and/or video(s) where others may share condolences, photograph(s) and/or video(s) and other content; and
  • Additional purposes which are required or permitted by law, or that are identified at or before the time that the information is used for such additional purposes.

We will typically obtain your express consent for such purposes at or before the time that we collect, use or disclose your personal information, except where permitted or required by law. Significant Celebrations only shares your information with third parties working on its behalf. Third parties are not authorized to use your information for any purpose other than that for which it has been shared by Arbor.

Significant Celebrations and affiliates may share personal information with each other in relation to the purposes above or that you have consented to. We may also share your personal information with third party service providers as necessary for them to provide services on our behalf (e.g. data management and storage services). Some service providers may be located outside of Canada where personal information may be subject to the laws of those jurisdictions.

Retention and Safeguarding of Personal Information

Significant Celebrations retains personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, as permitted or required by law (e.g. internal business or management or legal purposes of Significant Celebrations).  We have implemented physical, organizational, contractual and technological safeguards designed to help protect your personal information against loss or theft, and unauthorized access, disclosure, copying, use or modification.
