   SAIL may also share your personal information, without your consent, with agents, mandataries, consultants, data processors, service providers and other parties who require such information in connection with SAIL’s activities or to assist SAIL with administering our business relationship (assisting with promotions, providing technical assistance for the website, etc.). Such agents, mandataries, consultants, data processors, service providers and other parties will contractually guarantee to SAIL that they will use your personal information exclusively to provide specific services and that they will keep it confidential in accordance with this Policy and return it to SAIL once the service has been provided, without keeping any copy.
   
   SAIL may also, without your consent, communicate your personal information contained in a file it holds on you as authorized or required by law.
   
   In each situation where SAIL may disclose your personal information, it will endeavour to not disclose more personal information than is required under the circumstances.
   
   Please note that in the event that the third party to whom SAIL discloses personal information about you is located in a foreign jurisdiction, local laws may otherwise allow your personal information to be accessed by third parties without your consent.


9. Accuracy and safeguards
   
   SAIL has put in place a series of security safeguards to protect your personal information against loss or theft, as well as unauthorized access, disclosure, copying, use or modification, regardless of the format in which the information is held.
   
   These security safeguards include physical measures, organizational measures and technological measures that are reasonable given the sensitivity of the information, the purposes for which it is to be used, the quantity and distribution of the information and the medium on which it is stored.
   
   SAIL also takes the necessary measures to ensure that all its managers and employees are trained on the contents of this Policy and understand that they are required to conform to it at all times.
   
   SAIL further recognizes that it is important to keep personal information accurate, complete and up-to-date, and takes reasonable steps to ensure the accuracy and completeness of the personal information it uses or discloses. However, you are responsible to inform SAIL of any significant changes in your personal information which may occur during the course of our business relationship.
   
   SAIL keeps your personal information only as long as necessary to fulfill the identified purposes for which it was collected, to meet legitimate business purposes or legislative requirements as long as necessary to protect its legitimate business interests.

    You have the right to consult and obtain communication of your personal information which is contained in a file held by SAIL. You can also request that information which is inaccurate, incomplete or equivocal be rectified, and that information not justified by the purpose of the file be deleted.
    
    SAIL will respond to every request for access and rectification within 30 days of receiving the written request. In the event that SAIL cannot provide access to or rectify your personal information, it will inform you of the reasons why and will provide you with any recourse available.
