A Client or Donor may decline to give LYMT Canada his or her Personal Information but, in some circumstances, this decision may hinder LYMT Canada ability to provide services to the Client or process the donation of the Donor.

  7. Limiting Collection, Use, Disclosure, and Retention

    Limitations on Collection and Use: LYMT Canada strives to identify the purpose for which it is collecting Personal Information at the time it is collected through oral, electronic, or written means, although in extreme circumstances such as emergency response, it may not be possible to do so immediately. Personal Information will be collected, to the extent possible, directly from the individual concerned. An individual with questions about how LYMT Canada collects Personal Information may contact us for more information at the Privacy Contacts listed in Section 9 of this Privacy Notice.

    LYMT Canada 通常透過口頭，電子或書面方式收集個人信息。在緊急情況等無可抗拒之因素下，本寺無法立即這樣做來達到溝通目的。個人信息將盡可能直接從有關個人那裡收集。對 LYMT Canada 如何收集個人信息有疑問的人，可以通過本隱私聲明第9節中列出的隱私權聯繫人與我們聯繫

    Disclosure: LYMT Canada will not disclose the Personal Information of its Donors or Clients without the Donor or Clients knowledge and Consent. In certain rare circumstances, LYMT Canada may be permitted or obliged to disclose Personal Information without expressing Consent. These circumstances include but are not limited to:

    • where required by law or by order or requirement of a court, administrative agency or other governmental tribunal;
    • where we believe, upon reasonable grounds, that it is necessary to protect the rights, privacy, safety or property of an identifiable person or a group;
    • where it is necessary to permit us to pursue available remedies or limit any damages that we may sustain; or
    • where the information being Disclosed or Used is in the public domain.

    Where LYMT Canada is obliged or permitted to disclose information without Consent, we will not disclose more information than is minimally required in the applicable circumstances.

    披露： LYMT Canada 不會在未經同意的情況下披露信眾、蓮友及捐贈者的個人信息。就捐助方而言，默示同意不表示信眾、蓮友、及捐助方希望“選擇退出”或進一步通訊。在某些罕見的情況下，LYMT Canada 可能未經信眾、蓮友、及捐助方許可，即被允許或有義務披露個人信息。這些情況包括但不限於：

    • 根據法律或法院，行政機關或其他政府法庭的命令或要求的情況；
    • 在我們認為有合理理由的情況下，有必要保護可識別個人或群體的權利，隱私，安全或財產；
    • 需要允許我們尋求可用的補救措施或限制我們可能遭受的任何損害的地方；
    • 公開或使用的信息屬於公共領域。

    如果 LYMT Canada 有義務或被允許未經同意而披露信息，我們將不會披露超出適用情況下最低要求的信息。

    Retention: LYMT Canada retains Personal Information as long as necessary for the fulfillment of the identified purposes for its Collection or as otherwise necessary to comply with applicable laws. When Personal Information is no longer necessary or relevant for the identified purposes, or is required to be retained by applicable laws, LYMT Canada will take steps to have it deleted, destroyed, erased, aggregated or made anonymous. LYMT Canada uses reasonable business practices to ensure we have adequate controls, schedules and practices for information and records retention and destruction which apply to your Personal Information, including the use of locked filing cabinets, the use of user IDs, passwords, and firewalls, restricting employee or volunteer access to Personal Information as appropriate (on a need-to-know basis), and contractually requiring any service providers to provide comparable security measures.

    LYMT Canada 之所以會保留個人信息是因為要符合適用相關法律，或者信眾之功德捐款要求。如果不再需要個人信息，則 LYMT Canada 將採取措施將個資刪除，銷毀，擦除，匯總或匿名化。LYMT Canada 使用合理的商業慣例來確保我們對信息有足夠的控制、例行及實踐，並定期審核個人信息來決定保留和銷毀。

  8. Accuracy and Individual Access

    LYMT Canada endeavours to ensure that any Personal Information provided to it by its Clients or Donors is as accurate, current, and complete as necessary in order to meet the reason for which it was obtained.

    Access: An individual may request access to and review of Personal Information about themselves that is in the possession of LYMT Canada. Access will be provided within a reasonable business timeframe unless access is declined for one of the reasons described herein. We reserve the right to decline access to Personal Information where:

    • The identity of the person requesting access cannot be confirmed;
    • The Personal Information is not readily retrievable and the burden or cost of providing it would be disproportionate to the nature or value of the information;
    • The requested Personal Information does not exist, is not held, or cannot be found;
    • Disclosure of the Personal Information would compromise the confidentiality of another individual or threaten the safety of another person; or
    • Non-Disclosure of the Personal Information is required or permitted by law.

    LYMT Canada 努力確保信眾、蓮友、及捐贈者個人信息的準確性及完整性，以符合獲取信息的原因。

    訪問： 個人可以請求訪問和查看 LYMT Canada 所擁有的有關自己的個人信息。本寺有權拒絕個人訪問非當事人之有關信息，否則將在合理的營業時間內提供之訪問權限。我們保留在以下情況下拒絕訪問個人信息的權利：

    • 無法確認請求訪問者的身份。
    • 個人信息不易檢索。提供個人信息之所負擔或費用將與信息的性質或價值不成比例；
    • 所請求的個人信息不存在，未被保留或找不到；
    • 披露個人信息將損害另一個人的機密性或威脅另一個人的安全。
    • 法律要求或允許不揭露個人信息

    Requests to Change or Delete Information: An individual may request that LYMT Canada change or delete Personal Information about themselves that is in the possession of LYMT Canada. We reserve the right not to change any Personal Information but will append any alternative text the individual concerned believes appropriate. We will make reasonable business efforts to comply with a request to delete an individual’s Personal Information as long as technological restraints or legal constraints do not limit our ability to fulfill the deletion request.

    Where a request for access, alteration, or deletion of Personal Information is declined, the individual making the request will be provided with the reasons for declining the request.

    請求更改或刪除信息： 個人可以要求 LYMT Canada 更改或刪除 LYMT Canada 擁有的有關自己的個人信息。我們保留不更改任何個人信息的權利，但會在有關個人認為適當的地方附加任何替代文本。只要技術或法律不限制我們刪除之能力，我們將滿足刪除個人“個人信息”的要求。
