Client information is private and confidential. Evolve recognizes that clients have a right to have their information protected.
Evolve’s Privacy Protection Policy governs the collection, use and disclosure of personal client information. Specifically, this policy outlines how Evolve complies with provincial and federal regulations governing client information including the Privacy Act and the Personal Information Protection and Electronics Document Act (PIPEDA).
PIPEDA is the privacy legislation of the Canadian federal government as of January 2004. Under PIPEDA no business may collect, use or disclose personal client information without clearly defining the purpose of such collection, use or disclosure and obtaining informed consent. The collection, use or disclosure is limited to purposes that a reasonable person would consider appropriate in the circumstances. The legislation further regulates the protection, retention and destruction of client information. PIPEDA offers clients the right to access their information upon request and challenge the information that is being retained.
The key privacy principles of PIPEDA form the basis of Evolve’s comprehensive Privacy Protection Policy.
It is important to safeguard private and confidential client information. Therefore, Evolve’s Chief Compliance Officer has been designated Evolve’s Privacy Officer. The Privacy Officer will confirm compliance with privacy legislation and inform personnel of the need to use the utmost discretion when dealing with client information. The Privacy Officer will monitor and assess the environment of compliance in terms of protection of private client information.
Client information is any information that identifies an individual including such items as: an individual’s name, address, age, financial information, social insurance number, personal e-mail address and telephone numbers. Client information may be in paper or electronic form.
Evolve may collect and retain client information for a number of purposes including to: determine a client’s identity, determine eligibility for a product, protect all parties against fraud and potential money laundering, comply with legal requirements (e.g. court order) and communicate with the client.
Evolve will use client information only for the purposes identified at or before the time of collection. Evolve does not sell or rent client information.
All information concerning unitholder transactions and their accounts are confidential and must not be disclosed to anyone other than the unitholder or her/his dealer unless the intended purpose is disclosed.
Should client information be required for a new purpose, Evolve will take the necessary steps in order to seek additional consent.
Consent may be expressed in writing, orally or implied directly by the client or their registered dealers. In most cases consent is obtained via the subscription agreement process for client investments in funds managed by Evolve. All client information collected by Evolve will be kept confidential and shall not be disclosed to any third party, except for the specific reasons below or if the client has provided express consent.
From time to time, requests for client information may be received from: government agencies; law enforcement agencies; securities commissions; other self-regulatory organizations (SROs); or under a court order. Express consent will not be required if needed for: audit, statistical or record-keeping purposes; a legal reason or request by securities regulatory authority or SRO; to collect a debt owed by the client; to a legal professional for the purposes of obtaining legal advice; and pursuant to a court order. Should Evolve be asked to produce confidential information by any such entity, the Privacy Officer will comply. In some cases, the Privacy Officer may provide information on its own initiative if there are reasonable grounds to believe crime or a violation of securities regulation is involved.
Consent to use personal information may be withdrawn by a client at any time.
Client information will only be collected as needed for intended purposes. During the course of providing products or services to client, Evolve may collect personal information in several different ways: the website, by telephone, by written correspondence, or by e-mail. The purpose of collection of personal information is for the sole purpose of providing products/services and in order to adequately communicate information.
Upon acceptance of the user agreement on the website, visitors’ information is collected for the purpose of answering inquiries, providing marketing materials, corporate background and invite guests to access services.
Website information is collected in many forms including by obtaining the domain name of visitors, the email addresses and personal information that is volunteered, dealer information and geographic location. Evolve’s website may employ a standard technology to collect information about how the firm’s site is used for the purposes of improving website design.
Evolve does not transfer collected information to competitors. Website guests may occasionally receive emails from Evolve informing them of products and services.
Client information will only be used for the purposes for which it was collected.
Evolve may share client information with authorities for regulatory or tax reporting purposes. Information may also be shared with SROs and legal bodies for reasons previously discussed.
Client information may also be shared with external service providers to Evolve and its products. Service providers include, but are not limited to: auditors, valuation agents, back office support, registrar and transfer agents and legal counsel. These service provider relationships are governed by agreements that confirm the proper handling and protection of client information.
Client information will only be retained for as long as needed in order to satisfy the stated purposes at the time of collection. When the information is no longer required necessary measures will be taken to destroy, dispose of, or delete the information.
It is important for Evolve to keep client information accurate in order to provide quality service and minimize the potential for misuse.
Evolve strives to keep client information correct, complete and up-to-date. Clients may be contacted periodically to ensure information is accurate on file.
Clients are requested to advise Evolve of any changes to client information, as Evolve is not liable for errors that cannot be corrected without client input. Should an inaccuracy be found, Evolve will act efficiently to correct it at no cost to the client.
Evolve has implemented various processes to safeguard personal information and restrict access to private information to personnel who need to know the information in order to service clients. Security measures include passwords on networks and systems and restricted access to the offices, and records within the offices.
Employees should be mindful to ensure that unitholder information is protected. Generally speaking, employees are not to disclose to other employees who do not have a legitimate need for the client information. In particular, all information and materials that employees access must be kept confidential, even after employment has ended. Annually, each of Evolve’s employees is required to attest to compliance with Evolve’s policies including the Privacy Protection Policy.
Note on Media: employees are not to communicate with the media – all media inquiries must be directed to Keith Crone.
Evolve makes every effort to explain policies and procedures to clients and explain how client information is managed. Evolve’s Privacy Protection Policy will be provided upon request by e-mail or phone. Also, a copy can be found on Evolve’s website. If clients have additional questions they may contact the Privacy Officer for clarification.
Clients have a right to their personal information. Clients have the right to verify the accuracy and completeness of their personal information, and may request that it be amended. Upon request (in writing) with appropriate supporting documentation confirming identity, clients will be given their client files.
Under certain circumstances Evolve may not be able to provide clients with access to specific pieces of information. For example, clients will not be granted access to information containing references to other persons or that has proprietary information confidential to the firm. Also, access will not be provided to information that has been destroyed or is too costly to retrieve.
The Privacy Officer will respond to requests for access in writing within 30 days of receipt.
Inquiries and complaints will be reviewed by the Privacy Officer and dealt with in a timely fashion. Specifics steps of Evolve’s privacy complaint recourse process are:
Clients who remain dissatisfied with the results can bring the complaint to the attention of the federal Privacy Commissioner who is the ombudsperson for complaints under PIPEDA at:
Officer of the Privacy Commissioner
112 Kent Street, Place de Ville, Tower B, 3rd Floor, Ottawa, Ontario K1A 1H3
The request must be made in writing and include full contact details and as much detail as possible about the complaint.
