Lamont respects the privacy and commits to the protection of our clients’, investors’, and other third-parties’ personal information. We recognize the importance of privacy and maintaining the accuracy, confidentiality and security of your personal information. This Privacy Policy describes the collection, use and disclosure of personal information by Lamont.

Definition of Personal Information

Personal information is information that can be used to identify an individual and includes your name, email address, residential address, financial and employment information. The contact details of an individual are not considered to be personal information when those details are publicly available and used for business communications.   

Personal Information Lamont Collects

Lamont only collects personal information that is necessary to establish, maintain and manage our relationship with you. This personal information may be collected by a contact form or through use of our website, as explained below. We may also receive personal information from our business partners and other third parties, provided that such third parties confirm that they have obtained your consent, or we have obtained your consent.

Consent and Withdrawal of Consent

Lamont collects, uses and discloses personal information only with the consent of the person involved.  In certain circumstances, privacy legislation authorizes the collection, use or disclosure of personal information without the consent of the individual, such as to respond to emergencies or where obtaining consent would be similarly unnecessary or inappropriate.

An individual may withdraw or vary consent for the collection, use, and disclosure of personal information, at any time with prior written notice to the Privacy Officer noted below. Where appropriate to do so, Lamont will take all reasonable steps, including technical measures to delete personal information as applicable.

How Lamont Uses Your Personal Information

Lamont uses your personal information to respond to your requests, provide you services, and to keep you informed about our activities. Lamont does not sell or trade any personal information.  

If the purpose for using your personal information changes from the time since such consent was obtained, Lamont will advise you of this purpose before such use or disclosure.
