In order to provide you with the products or services that you request from us, we may have to transfer information about you to these third parties.

Where RONA transfers personal information to third parties for processing on behalf of RONA, a contract containing appropriate privacy protection terms will be in place before any information is transferred to the third party. These terms must provide that the third party will not use the personal information for their own purposes, will keep the personal information secure, and will only process the information on the instructions of RONA.

In addition, using certain third party products to purchase products or services from RONA (such as a credit card not issued by RONA) may require us to provide your personal information to third parties in order to process the transaction.

An individual’s request for access to their personal information in the possession of RONA should be directed to a RONA store manager or to the RONA Privacy Officer. In order to verify that the information is being released to the proper person, individuals may be asked to provide suitable identification or to otherwise identify themselves.

An individual may update or correct any of their personal information that RONA has in its possession by contacting the RONA store manager in the store they visited or the RONA Privacy Officer and making a written request. Individuals may be asked to provide suitable identification or to otherwise identify themselves before any corrections will be made, and RONA reserves the right to request appropriate proof of the correctness of any of the requested corrections.

Individuals may withdraw their consent to RONA’s use or disclosure of their personal information by contacting the RONA store manager they visited or the RONA Privacy Officer and making a written request. Individuals may be asked to provide suitable identification or to otherwise identify themselves.

In some circumstances, the withdrawal of consent to certain uses or disclosures of personal information may mean that RONA is no longer able to provide certain products or services to the individual or may be unable to process returns, exchanges or refunds. If this is the case, RONA will inform you when you contact us to withdraw your consent and give you the choice.

RONA will only retain personal information for as long as it is necessary to process related transactions, maintain appropriate financial and audit records and protect RONA’s legitimate commercial interests.
