EMPLOYEE PRIVACY POLICY
Royal Legacy
_____________________________________ (the “Company”) is committed to protecting the
privacy of its employees. As part of this commitment, we have prepared this Policy, which
explains how the Company collects, uses, discloses and otherwise manages the personal
information of its employees.
I. Scope of the Policy
This Policy applies to all Company employees and any contractor who provides any service to
the Company and who, in the course of fulfilling his or her contractual duties to the Company,
engages in collecting, using or disclosing personal information on behalf of the Company.
II. Definition of Personal Information
Personal information means information about an identifiable individual, such as a person`s
name, date of birth, home address, home phone number, social insurance number, family status
or income. Personal information does not include business contact information or work
product information (i.e., information that is prepared or collected by an employee as part of
that employee`s work responsibilities, but does not include personal information).
III. Purposes for Collecting and Using Personal Information
The Company collects, uses and discloses employee personal information for purposes of
establishing, maintaining, managing or terminating the employment relationship. By way of
example, the Company may require employee personal information for the following purposes,
among others:
to determine suitability for employment or promotion;
to review and evaluate performance;
to monitor attendance and use of company resources and property;
to determine eligibility for salary increases, bonuses and other incentive-based
compensation;

to administer benefit programs;
to investigate suspected misconduct or non-performance of duties;
to determine physical and/or mental fitness for work; and
to comply with statutory requirements (e.g. Income Tax Act, workers’ compensation and
labour and employment standards) and the agencies and governmental bodies
administering those statutes.
The personal information required to administer the employment relationship varies with each
individual employee. Examples of the types of personal information that the Company may
require about employees include:
Name Workplace accidents
Age/date of birth Promotion/demotion
Social insurance number Service, including breaks in service
Home address Vacation and leaves of absence
Gender Payroll and salary
Marital and family status Bonus
Emergency contact information Medical information including
Previous work history and information supporting medical
references leaves of absence, and information
Educational background respecting fitness for work and
Information regarding job-related physical limitation
skills
Performance evaluations
Attendance
Discipline
The Company will not collect, use or disclose employee personal information except for a
legitimate purpose in the employment relationship. Further, the Company will not gather
more personal information than is necessary to meet its purpose.
IV. Disclosure of Personal Information
The Company will not disclose an employee’s personal information to any third party without
the employee’s consent, except as permitted or required by law, or as otherwise required to
April 2017 2
administer the employment relationship (e.g. a payroll or benefit plan administrator/processor).
In the case of a transfer of personal information to affiliates or third party
administrators/processors, the Company will ensure that such affiliates/and or third parties
have contractually agreed to safeguard the personal information and to use the information
only for the purpose for which it has been provided.
Please note that in the event that a third party to whom the Company discloses employee
personal information is located outside Canada, local laws may otherwise allow that
information to be accessed by third parties without the consent of the employee concerned.
There are circumstances in which an employee’s consent is not required before personal
information can be collected, used or disclosed. For example, it is permissible for an employer
to collect, use or disclose employee personal information without consent if it is reasonable for
the purposes of establishing, managing or terminating the employment relationship with the
individual. Likewise, an employer may collect personal information without consent for the
purpose of investigating a breach of an agreement or a contravention of a law. It is also
permissible for an employer to disclose personal information without consent in response to a
search warrant or other legally valid enquiry or order, or where required to do so by law. Your
personal information may also be disclosed where necessary in connection with a sale of assets,
merger or other corporate restructuring.
V. Retention of Personal Information
The Company will retain employee personal information only as long as necessary to fulfil the
purposes for which it was collected, or as required by law. Some personal information may
have continuing relevance while other information may become dated and meaningless with
the passage of time. Employment standards and income tax legislation require an employer to
maintain certain records for a specified period of time.

The Company retains information that has been considered in any decision that directly affects
an employee for at least one year after the decision is made. For example, the Company may
keep information that has been relied in the decision to discipline, terminate or deny an
employment opportunity or benefit for one year or more after the decision is made. Otherwise,
the Company aims to keep its files current and will make reasonable efforts to remove from the
personnel files information that is no longer relevant for the purposes for which it was collected.
When such information is removed from the employee file, it will be destroyed in a manner that
will ensure that the information is no longer identifiable.
VI. Accuracy of Personal Information
The Company requires accurate, complete and up-to-date records of its employees’ personal
information in order to make employment-related decisions effectively. If you are aware that
your personal information needs to be updated or corrected, please let us know.
VII. Security of Personal Information
The Company safeguards the security of personal information in its custody and control by
means that are reasonable, having regard to the sensitivity of the information, the purpose for
which it is to be used, the quantity and distribution of the information, and the medium on
which it is stored. Your personal information will only be accessed by employees and third
party administrators on a ``need-to-know basis``. Further, the Company will use reasonably
secure methods whenever it destroys personal information.
VIII. Individual Access to Personal Information
Andre Zahrebelny
An employee may submit a written request to ________________________ to access, correct or
update his or her personal information, and obtain an explanation of the Company’s use and
disclosure of the personal information. The Company will respond to the request within thirty
(30) days.
April 2017 4
If access to any or all of the information cannot be given because of cost, legal or security
reasons recognized by applicable privacy legislation, the employee will be advised.
Upon reviewing his or her personal information, the employee may request the Company to
modify or remove any inaccurate or unnecessary personal information on file. If the Company
does not agree that the modification or removal is necessary or warranted, the employee may
provide a written statement of his or her concerns, which will be included in the employee’s
personnel file.
IX. Complaint Procedure
We are committed to maintaining the privacy of employee personal information in the course of
administering our duties as an employer. If you have any questions or concerns about this
Employee Privacy Policy or about how we or any third party treat your personal information,
you may contact Andre Zahrebelny
_______________________ with your questions or concerns. We will
investigate any complaints and endeavor to resolve employee concerns.
Employees may have a right to file a complaint with a provincial privacy commissioner’s office
in those jurisdictions with applicable privacy legislation if the employee is not satisfied that the
employer is acting in compliance with the legislative requirements. In any event, no employee
will be penalized or disciplined for asserting a right under this policy.
