The Public Sector Pension Investment Board and its wholly-owned subsidiaries operating its offices in Canada ( in Montreal and Ottawa), the United Sates (in New York) and the United Kingdom (in London) (collectively “PSP Investments”) are committed to respecting your privacy. The purpose of this Privacy Notice is to outline the policies, procedures and measures PSP Investments takes with respect to the collection, use, disclosure, retention, protection and processing of personal information in order to comply with its obligations under the federal Privacy Act (Canada), the Privacy Regulations (Canada), and applicable policies, directives and guidelines of the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat (“Treasury Board”) issued pursuant to its mandate under the Privacy Act (collectively the “Canadian Laws”), and other applicable privacy legislation (including but not limited to the General Data Protection Regulation (the “GDPR”), the UK Data Protection Act 2018 ( the “UK DPA”), and the California Consumer Privacy Act (the “CCPA”).

 

This Privacy Notice provides information on PSP Investments’ privacy practices for individuals that visit our Website, individuals with whom we communicate, prospective employees, individuals on whom due diligence is conducted in the context of our investment activities, individuals for whom an external identity is created in order to access PSP platforms and, prospective/actual unincorporated contractors.

For the purposes of this Privacy Notice, “Personal Information” means information about an identifiable individual that is recorded in any form. Under the Canadian Laws, there are slight differences in the definition of personal information. For more information, please see Part IV: Definitions.

1. Collection of Personal Information
 

a. PSP Investments shall not collect personal information unless it relates directly to an activity of PSP Investments within mandate under the Public Sector Pension Investment Board Act and other applicable legislation. Personal information collected by PSP Investments shall be limited to what is necessary in order to carry out its mandate.
 

b. Subject to limited exceptions under the Privacy Act and other applicable legislation, PSP Investments shall, wherever possible, collect personal information that is intended to be used for an administrative purpose directly from the individual to whom the information relates, except where the individual otherwise authorizes, or where the information is permitted to be disclosed to PSP Investments by another government institution under the Canadian Laws or other applicable legislation.
 

c. PSP Investments shall inform any individual from whom it collects personal information of the following:

 

• the purpose for which the information is being collected;
   
• the authority for the collection, including whether response is voluntary or is required by law;
   
• any uses or disclosures to be made of the information;
   
• of the possible legal or administrative consequences of refusing to provide the information; and
   
• the rights that the individual has with regards to personal information PSP holds and that relates to her or him.
   

d. PSP Investments may collect personal information from an individual in the following circumstances:
 

• When an individual visits PSP Investments’ website. Please see the section below title “Privacy and the Internet” for more details about the Website’s collection, use and disclosure of personal information;
   
• In connection with meetings, conferences or other activities offered by PSP. In the course of these activities, PSP Investments may collect personal information such as business contact information for the purposes of administering the activities. In addition, PSP Investments may collect audio and video recordings for the purposes of recording meeting, training or conference sessions for use within the organization;
   
• PSP Investments may collect personal information such as screenshots, screen recordings or other personal information since all electronic communications to or from PSP Investments’ domain are subject to monitoring for security and compliance purposes.
   
• In connection with the creation of an external identity in order to access PSP Investments’ systems, PSP Investments may collect the full name, email address and logs for the purposes of creating and administering external access to PSP systems;
   
• In connection with unincorporated contractors. PSP may collect personal information such as their tax number for tax payment, remittance and compliance purposes;
   
• In limited circumstances, PSP Investments may conduct reputational due diligence on individuals in the context of its investments activities using publicly available information or databases without informing the individual beforehand or securing the individual’s consent. In those limited circumstances, informing or obtaining the consent from the specific individual would defeat the purpose or be prejudicial to the use for which information is being collected and/or would not be possible or appropriate given the particular circumstances of the potential transaction or business relationship (for instance, public merger and acquisition transactions, minority or passive investments, credit investments, highly competitive private transactions conducted by auction or similar circumstances).
   
• When an individual provides personal information during their communications with PSP Investments. For more details, please see the section below titled “Privacy and the Internet”.

2. Retention and Disposal of Personal Information

The Schedule sets out retention periods for the various categories of personal information PSP Investments holds. The Schedule is reviewed and updated periodically and is subject to any legal obligations to retain certain information.  

 

b. As a general rule, personal information that has been used by PSP Investments for an administrative purpose shall be retained for at least two years following the last time the information was used for such purpose, unless the individual consents to its disposal.  
 

c. Personal information collected in connection with administrating external identities is retained for three years after it is no longer necessary, subject to any legal obligations to retain this information.
 

d. Where a request for access to personal information has been received, the personal information subject to such request shall be retained until the requesting individual has had the opportunity to exercise all his or her rights under the Privacy Act, the GDPR, the UK DPA, the CCPA, the Access to Information Act or any other applicable legislation with respect to such personal information.

PSP Investments shall dispose of personal information under its control in accordance with the Canadian Laws, the GDPR, the UK DPA, the CCPA and any other legislation applicable to the disposal of that information.

1. Overview

 

The nature of the Internet is such that Web servers automatically collect certain information about a visit to a website, including the visitor’s Internet Protocol (IP) address. IP addresses are unique numbers assigned by Internet Service Providers (ISP) to all devices used to access the Internet. Web servers automatically log the IP addresses of visitors to their sites. The IP address, on its own, does not identify an individual. However, in certain circumstances, such as with the co-operation of an ISP for example, it could be used to identify an individual using the site. Unless otherwise noted, PSP Investments does not automatically gather any specific information from you, such as your name, telephone number or email address. PSP Investments would obtain this type of information only if you supply it to us, for example, by email or by submitting such information to use on our Career Opportunities site. In cases where services are provided by organizations outside of PSP Investments, such as through Workday, the service provider for our Career Opportunities site, IP addresses may be recorded by the Web server of the third-party service provider. A specific privacy notice governing the treatment of personal information submitted to the Career Opportunities Site is available when applying on that site. 

 

2. Communicating with PSP Investments via e-mail, social media platform or by other means

 

If you choose to send us an email or communicate with us via a social media platform (either privately or publicly) or by other means, your personal information is used by PSP Investments in order to respond to your inquiry or pursue a business interest. The information you provide will only be shared with another government institution if your inquiry relates to that institution. PSP Investments does not use this information to create individual profiles nor does it disclose the information to anyone other than to those individuals within PSP Investments who need to provide you with a response. Any disclosure of your personal information in this context will be done in accordance with the Privacy Act and other applicable privacy laws. Emails and other electronic methods used to communicate with PSP Investments may not be secure and PSP Investments cannot guarantee the confidentiality of communications initiated by email or via a social media platform. Therefore, it is recommended that you do not send sensitive personal information, such as your Social Insurance Number or your date of birth, through electronic means. 

 

Personal information from emails in order to make inquiries is collected pursuant to Section 5 of the Public Sector Pension Investment Board Act. Such information may be used for statistical, evaluation and reporting purposes and is included in the Public Communications Personal Information Bank  (PSPIB PSU 914).

 

3. Digital Markers (including cookies)

 

A digital marker is a resource created on your device by a visited website’s Web server in order to remember certain pieces of information for the Web server to reference during the same or subsequent visit to the website. Examples of digital markers are “cookies” or HTML5 web storage. Some examples of what digital markers do are as follows:

•  
• allow a website to recognize a previous visit each time the visitor accesses the site – which is necessary to remember settings, such as language;

 

• track what information is viewed on a site – which helps website administrators enhance their website to ensure visitors easily find what they are looking for; track visitors across multiple sites, in the case of third-party cookies – which helps derive knowledge (interests, preferences, etc.) about individuals, notably for relevant advertisement.

 

PSP Investments uses sessional and persistent digital markers on some portions of its website. During your visit on our website, your browser exchanges data with PSP Investments’ Web server. The digital markers used do not allow PSP Investments to identify individuals. PSP Investments will only allow digital markers to be installed on your device if you consent to it by selecting your preferences from our “cookie banner” on your first visit, unless it is a strictly necessary cookie. Those are generally of technical nature, for instance remembering your cookie preferences or securing the Website. If you consent to it, PSP Investments’ website also allows some third-party cookies to be installed on your device. You can find more information in our Cookie Declaration. You can always control what cookies you allow from PSP Investments’ website on our Cookie management tool in Cookie Settings.

 

4. Web Analytics 

 

Web analytics is the collection, analysis, measurement, and reporting of data about Web traffic and visits for purposes of understanding and optimizing Web usage and user experience.

 

PSP Investments uses Web analytics to improve its website. When your device requests PSP Investments’ Web page, our institution collects the following types of information for Web analytics:

•  
• the originating IP address
• the date and time of the request
• the type of browser used
• the page(s) visited
• the type of device used
• the frequency of visits
• the duration of visits
• the traffic sources

 

PSP Investments uses Google Analytics as a third party service provider. Your IP address is anonymized prior to being stored on the service provider’s servers in order to safeguard your privacy. The information collected is anonymized according to the method described in Google’s Analytics Help.

 

Data collected for Web analytics purposes may be sent to, and stored in, locations outside of Canada, such as the United States and other countries where Google’s servers are located and may be subject to the governing legislation of those countries (for example the USA Patriot Act).

 

Information used for the purpose of Web analytics is collected pursuant to the Section 5 of the Public Sector Pension Investment Board Act. Such data may be used for communications and information technology statistical purposes, audit, evaluation, research, planning and reporting. 

 

5. Protecting the Security of PSP Investments Websites

 

PSP Investments employs tools to monitor network traffic to identify unauthorized attempts to upload or change information, or otherwise cause damage. These tools receive and record the IP address of the computer that has contacted our website, the date and time of the visit and the pages visited. We make no attempt to link these addresses with the identity of individuals visiting our site unless an attempt to damage the site has been detected. 

 

This information is collected pursuant to section 161 of the Financial Administration Act. The information may be shared with appropriate law enforcement authorities if suspected criminal activities are detected. Such information may be used for network security related statistical purposes, audit, evaluation, research, planning and reporting and is included in the Security Incidents Personal Information Bank (PSPIB PSU 939).

 

6. Recruitment

 

PSP Investments also processes your personal information in the context of recruitment. More information on the handling of your personal information, including information on the retention of your personal information and legal basis for processing of your personal information in the context of the recruitment process can be found in our privacy notice for recruitment when you apply for a position from our Career Opportunities Page.

 

7. Inquiring about these Practices 

 

Any questions, comments, concerns or complaints you may have regarding PSP’s practices and compliance with the Canadian Laws, the GDPR , the UK DPA, the CCPA, other applicable legislation, our privacy policies or regarding PSP Investments’ Web presence may be directed to our Access to Information and Privacy Coordinator in writing at 1250 René-Lévesque Boulevard West, Suite 1400, Montreal, Quebec, Canada H3B 5E9 or at ATIP@investpsp.ca.

 

If you are not satisfied with PSP Investments’ response to your privacy concern(s), depending on your residency, you may wish to contact the Office of the Privacy Commissioner by telephone at 1-800-282-1376, the UK Information Commissioner’s Office, your local data protection authority or the California Attorney General.
