HP Advanced Solutions Is Committed to Privacy and Data Protection
HP Advanced Solutions recognizes and acknowledges its responsibility to maintain the privacy and security of personally identifiable information shared with us through this website, among other sources.
As an affiliate of a global company, we believe that it is our responsibility to set industry-leading standards in our approach to the protection of personally identifiable information.
Around the world, we comply with country-specific, and provincial-specific, legislative requirements. But we have gone beyond that by implementing a global agreement within HP Canada that establishes a Code of Practice for the management and handling of personally identifiable information throughout the company – a comprehensive set of rules establishing a consistently protected environment for personally identifiable information controlled by us – anywhere in the world.
Our Commitments to Privacy and the Web
Correspond with confidence: Whenever you share any facts about yourself with HP Advanced Solutions, it goes no further than us. It is our commitment to comply with the following:
Our commitment on Use
When you share personally identifiable information with us, that information will be used only in direct connection with the purpose for which it was provided. If you ask for information, make a purchase, send a subscription, that's what you'll get – you won't find yourself on a new mailing list or subject to sales contacts. If we think it would be useful to you to make additional use of your personally identifiable information, we will specifically ask your approval. No opt-in, no additional use.
Our commitment on Confidentiality
We will not share your personally identifiable information with a third party unless we specifically ask your approval. No opt-in, no transfer. While we may hold or process your personally identifiable information at various places, at all times the management and handling rules under our Code of Practice will be applicable to ensure that these same commitments still apply; the only exceptions to this being in response to a court order or other legal obligation.
Our commitment on Retention
We won't keep your personally identifiable information longer than we need to. When its purpose has been fulfilled, it will be removed.
Our commitment on Accuracy
If we need to keep your personally identifiable information for the long term, we will provide a method for routinely validating and confirming that the personally identifiable information is accurate and will work with you to achieve this.
Our commitment on Access
Every time we collect personally identifiable information, you will find a mail address that you can use to contact us to check what personally identifiable information we control about you. We will get back to you as quickly as possible, but we will need to verify that you are the 'Data Subject' before we can release any personally identifiable information. We will endeavor to respond to you within 10 days.
Our commitment on Security
Your personally identifiable information will be secure. HP Advanced Solutions manages personally identifiable information for major clients, both private and Public Sector. We take pride that our technology and our security policies keep even the most confidential personal and commercial personally identifiable information safe with us.

Our commitment to Juniors
We would not normally collect personally identifiable information from or on juniors (age 13 or less). Where we become aware of such personally identifiable information it will be deleted immediately and without completion of the intended use. Where in exceptional cases personally identifiable information must be collected on juniors, such personally identifiable information will be collected and used in compliance with such local practices and recommendations as may be in force, in accordance with applicable laws. Personally identifiable information on children will, additionally, be defined as 'Sensitive Data' and subject to any such additional rules or obligations regarding such personally identifiable information.
