Privacy Policy
Last updated on April 14, 2024.
1. Our commitment to you
Fio Consulting Inc. (“Fio”) relies on these ten principles to protect the Personal Information collected from its Customers, Employees and Web Site Users. Fio has established its Privacy Policy in accordance with The Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) in Canada, and the Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA) in Alberta.
2. Frequently asked questions
Fio collects and uses Web Site User's Personal Information for purposes generally identified on the Fio website at the time of collection. These purposes may include the sending of applicable information, provision of updates you've requested, or to answer your questions.
When Fio chooses to use Personal Information for a purpose not previously identified, Fio will identify the new use. Unless such new use is required or permitted by law, in accordance with PIPEDA/PIPA, the consent of the Customer, Employee or Web Site User is required before the Personal Information can be used for that new purpose.
3. Use of Cookies
During a Web Site User’s interaction with Fio’s website, Fio may use a browser feature called a "cookie" to collect information anonymously and track user patterns on Fio’s website. A cookie is a small text file containing a unique identification number that identifies a Web Site User’s browser – but not the Web Site User personally – to Fio’s computers each time a Web Site User visits the Fio website using cookies. Cookies tell Fio which pages of its website are visited and how many people visited each web page. This helps Fio to enhance the on-line experience of visitors to the Fio website. Cookies also serve to identify your computer so that your preferences can be saved for future visits, and Fio may work with third parties that use these cookies to help us with such traffic management, research and analytics.
The use of cookies is an industry standard and many major browsers are initially set up to accept them. You can reset your browser to either refuse to accept all cookies or to notify you when you have received a cookie. However, if you refuse to accept cookies, you may not be able to use some of the features available on Fio’s website.

Consent may be withdrawn by Customers, Employees and Web Site Users at any time, subject to legal or contractual restrictions and upon providing Fio reasonable notice. If you wish to withdraw your consent to certain collection, retention, use or disclosure of Personal Information, please contact Fio at info@fioconnect.com.
