1. PERSONAL INFORMATION WE COLLECT

In this Privacy Statement, "personal information" means any information that is
related to an identifiable individual, or as otherwise defined under applicable
privacy law.

Depending on the type of services we are providing and your relationship with
us, we collect personal information as follows:



PERSONAL INFORMATION YOU PROVIDE DIRECTLY TO US

We collect personal information from you directly when you apply for benefits
and services, when claims are submitted for payment, when you contact or
communicate with us online, by phone or in person and when managing our business
relationship with you. The categories of personal information we may collect
from you directly include:

 * Contact information such as your name, address, telephone number(s), email
   address;

 * Demographic information such as your birth date and gender or other
   identifying information;

 * Identification information such as your member ID number and policy number,
   username and password;

 * Financial information such as your annual income, banking information, place
   of employment, and social insurance number (SIN);

 * Medical information such as diagnoses, medications, treatments, paramedical
   results; and

 * Business contact information such as name, company/provider name, business
   address, business email address, and business phone number if you are an
   individual or employee of a business that interacts with Medavie.





INFORMATION WE COLLECT AUTOMATICALLY

Depending on the device you use or the method you use to interact with us, we
may automatically collect digital information about your device, your location
and your use of our site. Please see our Online Privacy Statement for more
information about how we collect, store and use information electronically,
including through our websites and our mobile apps.





PERSONAL INFORMATION WE COLLECT FROM OTHER SOURCES

We may also collect personal information about you from other sources,
including:

 * Your employer or authorized representative;

 * Health care practitioners;

 * Other insurance companies when coordinating the payment of benefits;

 * The card holder of any contract under which you are a participant; and

 * Other third parties you allow to share information with us;




--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


2. HOW WE USE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

Depending on the type of services we are providing and your relationship with
us, your personal information may be collected and used for the following
purposes:

 * Evaluating applications and administering our products and services;

 * Processing claims;

 * Confirming your identity and verifying the accuracy of information;

 * Complying with legal requirements, such as provincial and federal tax
   reporting, financial audits and anti-money laundering verifications;

 * Understanding your preferences for engaging with us (e.g. via email,
   telephone, etc.); and

 * Determining if there are other suitable products or services you might be
   interested in and sending you details about them. You can ask to be removed
   from our marketing lists at any time.


We may also use your personal information for other purposes that you have
consented to or for other purposes that are authorized by law. For example, we
may use your personal information for:

 * Protecting you and us from errors, misrepresentations, fraud and/or
   contravention of laws or criminal activity;

 * Fulfilling contractual obligations imposed by service/program providers; and,

 * Helping us make decisions to improve the products and services we offer;


If you provide your personal information over the phone, the call might be
recorded or monitored and your personal information is collected and used to:
establish a record of the information you provide; take or verify instructions
from you; and confirm your identity. Your personal information will also be used
to maintain quality service levels and help with staff training. If you don’t
want your calls recorded, you can communicate with us in writing instead. You
can also request that we respond to you in writing only.




--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


3. CONSENT

With some exceptions, we require your consent to collect, use and disclose your
personal information. We do not require additional consent to use your personal
information for providing or delivering a product or service you use or apply
for. Other exceptions are determined by law and can include legal, medical or
security reasons that make receiving your consent impossible or impractical such
as fraud prevention and detection or assessing or improving security measures.

Your consent may be given in writing, verbally, electronically or through
authorized representatives. It may also be implied, in certain circumstances.
For example, if you show your benefits card to a pharmacy instead of paying for
the prescription directly, it’s implied that you give consent for the pharmacy
to provide your personal information to us to pay the claim.

You may withhold or withdraw your consent for us to collect, use or disclose
your personal information if there are no legal or contractual requirements that
prevent it. Please note that by withdrawing your consent, we will not be able to
provide you with certain products or services that may be useful to you and/or
your dependents.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


4. DISCLOSING YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

Depending on the product or service, we disclose your personal information for
the purposes we collected it or for another purpose to which you have consented
or which is permitted or required by law.


We may disclose your personal information to:

 * Authorized employees, agents, and representatives who need the information to
   complete their duties for us;
 * Any person or organization you give consent to;
 * People, organizations, and investigative bodies who work to prevent, detect,
   or investigate suspected fraud, breaches of agreement, or contravention of
   the law;
 * Other people or organizations who are legally authorized to view your
   personal information,
 * Service providers who need this information to perform their services for us.
   We use service providers for various purposes, including printing, mail
   distribution, information technology (IT), data storage, administration,
   investigation, reinsurance, and paramedical services.
 * the cardholder of any contract under which you are a participant.

In some cases, we provide your personal information to authorized employees,
people, organizations, and service providers in other provinces or jurisdictions
than where it was collected. These parties may be subject to the laws of those
provinces or jurisdictions. If you are a Quebec resident, this means your
personal information may be disclosed or transferred outside Quebec including to
service providers outside of Quebec.

When we share personal information with our service providers, we ensure by
contractual means that they protect it in ways that are consistent with our
privacy policies and practices.

WE DO NOT SELL YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION.




--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


5. HOW LONG WE RETAIN YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

We keep your information for one of the following time periods, whichever is
longer:

 * As long as we are required by law and guidelines set for the financial
   services industry; and
 * As long as we need to for managing the products and services we provide you.

The types of products and services we offer may require us to keep your
information for extended periods of time. Personal information that is no longer
required is destroyed, deleted, or made anonymous.




--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


6. HOW WE PROTECT YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

Medavie’s information security has been developed and continually enhanced to
protect your personal information from unauthorized disclosure, access and use.
Physical, organizational and technological safeguards are in place to protect
this information, based on its nature and sensitivity.

All Medavie employees – including full, part-time and contract employees –
receive privacy training, sign confidentiality agreements and must follow our
corporate privacy policies, as a condition of their employment.

All employees who are authorized to handle personal information as part of their
duties work to ensure that the information is handled with the appropriate level
of care and protected at all times.

ambiguous you can request that we correct the information. If you believe that
the collection, disclosure or retention of your personal information is not
authorized by law, you may ask us to rectify the matter.

We will require that you prove your identity before we process your request for
access to, or correction of your personal information. A request will also be
considered if it is made by a person acting as the representative, heir or
successor of the person concerned, liquidator of the estate, beneficiary of life
insurance or death benefit, or holder of parental authority. In all cases, this
person will have to establish their capacity and identity. Such requests must be
made in writing.

We will respond to your access or correction request within 30 days of the date
of receipt.
