Express Consent: In other cases, when the personal information being collected is considered sensitive, we will ask for your express consent, approval in writing will be required. Receiving consent will not be a condition of supplying a product or a service, unless the information requested is required to fulfill an explicitly specified and legitimate purpose. Individuals may withdraw their consent at anytime, and Sharp will explain to individuals the implications of withdrawing their consent. Limiting the Use, Retention, and Disclosure of Personal Information: Sharp will only use or disclose Personal Information for the purpose for which it was collected, unless the individual consents, or if the use or disclosure is authorized by PIPEDA or other legal authority. As well, we will only keep Personal Information as long as necessary to satisfy the purpose. Individual Access to Information: Upon request and appropriate identification satisfactory to Sharp, an individual will be informed of the existence, use and disclosure of his/her Personal Information. The individual will be given access to that information if requested. A reasonable administration fee may be charged to supply the information. The approximate cost of the administration fee will be communicated to the individual prior to releasing the information. If the Personal Information held by Sharp is inaccurate, Sharp shall amend the information as required. In limited circumstances, Sharp may refuse an individual access to their Personal Information; however, such refusal shall be in accordance with PIPEDA or other applicable laws.
