Stimulonimbus Incorporated ("Stimulonimbus") is committed to protecting the privacy of personal information in its care and will do so in accordance with this privacy policy (the "Privacy Policy"). This Privacy Policy explains Stimulonimbus’ treatment of personally identifiable information collected in connection with activities on or related to all of Stimulonimbus’ websites referencing this Privacy Policy (the "Sites"), including CancellationSpot.com, and all services made available by Stimulonimbus (the "Services"), unless noted otherwise.
Stimulonimbus may make amendments or modifications to this Privacy Policy from time to time in order to properly implement new services and features, to comply with its obligations under applicable legislation or regulations, or to amend its privacy practices. Stimulonimbus may otherwise amend its privacy practices from time to time without further notice. Stimulonimbus will post any revised version of this Privacy Policy on the Site.
Stimulonimbus is a provider of appointment notification services for the health care industry. Stimulonimbus provides its Services in accordance with its obligations under applicable legislation in the jurisdictions in which it operates.
If you are a Stimulonimbus customer with respect to the Services, it will be necessary for you, on behalf of your patients and/or other end users, to provide us with all mandatory information required for Stimulonimbus to provide such Services in accordance with applicable laws. We collect any personal information about our customers’ patients or other end users that is required in connection with the provision of the Services. Please note that in some cases we may collect, use or disclose your personal information or the personal information of patients or end users without your knowledge or consent where we are required by applicable law or regulatory requirements to do so. We may also collect, use and disclose your personal information for any other reasonable purpose to which you consent.
‘Personal information’ includes information about an identifiable individual, presented in any form, such as: name, e-mail address, and name. It does not include the name, title, business address or telephone number of an employee of an organization, when used or disclosed for business communications.
In handling personal information, we abide by the following ten privacy principles (collectively the “Principles“), which are:
Principle #1 – Accountability
1.1 Stimulonimbus is responsible for personal information under its control and will designate an individual or individuals who are accountable for the organization’s compliance with these Principles. Accountability for Stimulonimbus’ compliance with the Principles rests with the senior management of Stimulonimbus and the person or persons designated by senior management as Privacy Officer, even though other individuals within the organization may be responsible for the day-to-day collection and processing of personal information. In addition, other individuals within the organization may be delegated to act on behalf of senior management or the Privacy Officer.
1.2 Stimulonimbus’ Privacy Officer may be contacted at:
Stimulonimbus Incorporated
Attention: Stimulonimbus Incorporated c/o Privacy Officer
E-mail: privacyofficer@cancellationspot.com
1.3. Stimulonimbus is responsible for personal information in its possession or custody, including information that has been transferred to a third party for processing. Stimulonimbus will use reasonable efforts to provide a level of protection comparable to its own while the information is being processed by a third party.
1.4 Stimulonimbus will implement policies and practices to give effect to these Principles, including:
Principle #2 – Identifying Purposes
2.1 Stimulonimbus collects personal information only for the following purposes (collectively, the “identified purposes”):
2.2 Subject to paragraph 2.4 and the exceptions referred to in Principle #3, Stimulonimbus will make a reasonable effort to ensure that the individual is advised of the purposes for which their personal information will be used either orally, electronically or in writing prior to or at the time of collection of the personal information. To make the consent meaningful, the purposes will be stated in such a manner that the individual can reasonably understand how the information will be used or disclosed.
2.3 Subject to the exceptions referred to in Principle #3, if individual persons within Stimulonimbus collect personal information, they will be able to specify the purposes for which the personal information is being collected, or will refer the individual whose personal information is being collected to a designated person at Stimulonimbus who will specify the purposes.
2.4 When personal information that previously has been collected is to be used for a purpose not previously identified, the new purpose will be identified prior to use. Unless the new purpose is required by law, and subject to the exceptions referred to in Principle #3, Stimulonimbus will obtain the consent of the individual before information is used for that new purpose.
2.5 Occasionally, Stimulonimbus will communicate to its end users to provide new product offers that we think may be of value to you. You have the right to choose not to participate in direct marketing of new products and services from Stimulonimbus. If you wish to opt-out of receiving targeted communications from Stimulonimbus in electronic, printed or verbal format (other than information included with your monthly bills), simply inform us in writing at:
Stimulonimbus Incorporated
Attention: Stimulonimbus Incorporated c/o Privacy Officer
E-mail: privacyofficer@cancellationspot.com
2.6 The Sites may have links to third party websites that Stimulonimbus does not own or maintain, and which may be subject to less stringent privacy standards. Links to other websites or other resources which are not created or controlled by Stimulonimbus (“Linked Sites“) are intended for convenience only and are wholly independent from Stimulonimbus. Stimulonimbus has no control over any products, services, materials, or other information contained in or available through Linked Sites, and makes no representations or warranties about the privacy practices of Linked Sites. Stimulonimbus is not responsible for the collection, use, or disclosure of personal information by Linked Sites, and Stimulonimbus expressly disclaims any and all liability related to such collection, use, or disclosure. Access to any third party websites through the Sites, regardless of whether the third party website is a Linked Site or not, is entirely at your own risk and it is your responsibility to take all protective measures to guard against viruses or other destructive devices or programs.
Principle #3 – Consent
3.1 Stimulonimbus, as a processor of information under contract with its customers, does not obtain consent directly from its customers’ patients or other end users with respect to personal information processing or for other similar activities where Stimulonimbus is acting as third party agent. Where personal information received by Stimulonimbus is provided by its customers directly, it is the obligation of the customers to have obtained appropriate consent, according to applicable privacy laws, from their patients or other end users before transferring, in printed, electronic, facsimile or any other format, personal information to Stimulonimbus.
3.2 Except as otherwise set forth in this Privacy Policy, where information is collected directly from individuals in connection with the Services, Stimulonimbus will collect only the minimal amount of information required to provide the Services. Stimulonimbus will assume that you have consented to the collection of your personal information where you have voluntarily entered the information on our Sites or otherwise provided your personal information to us, and such consent will be assumed only for the purposes that can reasonably be inferred from the context of the service being offered. The form of consent sought by Stimulonimbus may vary, depending upon the circumstances and the type of information disclosed. Stimulonimbus will seek express consent when the information is likely to be considered sensitive. Implied consent will generally be appropriate when the information is less sensitive.
3.3 Where express consent to the collection, use or disclosure of personal information is required, Stimulonimbus will generally seek consent for the use or disclosure of the information at the time of collection. In certain circumstances, consent with respect to use or disclosure may be sought after the information has been collected but before use (for example, when Stimulonimbus wants to use information for a purpose not previously identified).
3.4 Stimulonimbus will not, as a condition of the supply of a product or service, require an individual to consent to the collection, use, or disclosure of information beyond that required by Stimulonimbus in order to supply the product or service to the individual. In certain circumstances, applicable law or regulatory requirements may allow or require Stimulonimbus to collect, use or disclose personal information without the knowledge or consent of the individual to whom the personal information relates.
3.5 A patient or an end user of any Stimulonimbus service may withdraw consent to the use of his or her personal information at any time, subject to legal or contractual restrictions and reasonable notice, by contacting Stimulonimbus Incorporated in writing at:
Stimulonimbus Incorporated
Attention: Stimulonimbus Incorporated c/o Privacy Officer
E-mail: privacyofficer@cancellationspot.com
3.7 In the case of services to individuals, an individual may withdraw consent at any time, subject to legal or contractual restrictions and reasonable notice.
3.8 With respect to personal information already collected by Stimulonimbus prior to the publication of this Privacy Policy, this Privacy Policy will constitute reasonable notice to Stimulonimbus’ current customers and, if applicable, their patients or end users, of the purposes and uses for which such personal information has been collected. Should an individual object to these ongoing uses or disclosures, consent may, except as set forth in this Privacy Policy, be withdrawn upon providing notice to Stimulonimbus in writing.
3.10 In some circumstances, a change in or withdrawal of consent may limit the ability of Stimulonimbus to provide services or prevent Stimulonimbus from providing services to a patient, end user or an individual.
Principle #4 – Limiting Collection
4.1 Stimulonimbus collects personal information from its customers for the purposes described under Principle #2.
4.2 Portions of the Sites and e-mails or communication sent by Stimulonimbus use statistical tools that may be operated by third party providers (collectively, the “Analytical Tools“). The Analytical Tools may use “cookies” and/or web beacons. A cookie is a small piece of information that a website transfers to the hard drive of a visitor’s computer for record-keeping purposes. A web beacon, also known as a “clear GIF” (a common format for image files), is an invisible file located on web pages that an individual visits or in e-mails that an individual opens and views. If an individual visits a page on the Sites or opens an e-mail that contains a web beacon, it communicates with the individual’s computer and Stimulonimbus’ servers to determine, among other things, whether the individual has visited that page before, or viewed a particular e-mail. Stimulonimbus’ cookies and web beacons do not collect personal information. Internet web browsers may be set to notify when a cookie is received or to prevent cookies from being sent. Limited functionality of some portions of the Sites may occur if cookies are prevented from being sent.
4.3 The information generated by the cookies and/or web beacons about use of the Sites (including a visitor’s IP address) may be transmitted to and stored on servers located outside of Canada including, but not limited to, the United States, by the applicable third party provider of an Analytical Tool. This information will be used for the purpose of evaluating use of the Sites, compiling reports on the activities of a Site and providing other services relating to a Site’s activity and Internet usage. The third party providers of Analytical Tools may also transfer this information to other third parties where they are required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on their behalf. Use of any the Sites, constitutes consent to the processing of data by third party providers of Analytical Tools in the manner and for the purposes set out above.
Principle #5 – Limiting Use, Disclosure, and Retention
5.1 Personal information will not be used or disclosed for purposes other than those for which it was collected, except with the consent of the individual or as otherwise required or permitted by law. Personal information will be retained only as long as necessary for the fulfillment of those purposes or as otherwise required or permitted by law.
5.2 Stimulonimbus may collect, use or disclose personal information without the individual’s knowledge or consent in certain circumstances as described in Principle #3.
5.3 Stimulonimbus may disclose personal information that Stimulonimbus is responsible for to:
Such disclosures may in some cases be to recipients outside of Canada.
5.4 Personal information may also be disclosed in connection with a sale, transfer or reorganization of one or more of Stimulonimbus’ businesses, in which case Stimulonimbus will require that any personal information will continue to be treated in accordance with this Privacy Policy or as otherwise permitted by law.
5.5 Stimulonimbus will retain personal information that has been used to make a decision about an individual long enough to allow the individual access to the information after the decision has been made, and, in the event of a request to access such information or a challenge of the decision by an individual, long enough to exhaust any recourse an individual may have under the law.
Principle #6 – Accuracy
6.1 Personal information will be updated as necessary for the purposes for which it is to be collected and used. The extent to which personal information will be updated will depend upon the use of the information, taking into account the interests of the individual to whom the personal information relates. Information will be sufficiently accurate, complete, and up-to-date to minimize the possibility that inappropriate information may be used to make a decision about the individual to whom the personal information relates. Where personal information received by Stimulonimbus is provided by its customers directly, it is the obligation of the customers to ensure that the information provided to Stimulonimbus is accurate, complete and up-to-date at the time such information is provided to Stimulonimbus and to advise Stimulonimbus of any changes in such information.
6.2 Stimulonimbus will not routinely update personal information unless such a process is necessary to fulfill the purposes for which the information was collected.
6.3 Personal information that is used on an ongoing basis, including information that is disclosed to third parties, will generally be accurate and up-to-date to the best of Stimulonimbus’ knowledge.
6.4 A patient, end user or customer can correct personally identifiable information stored about that individual by Stimulonimbus through his or her account on Cancellationspot.com. If a patient, end user or customer believes personal information stored about that individual by Stimulonimbus is incorrect or inaccurate and is unable to change such information through his or her account on Cancellationspot.com, such patient, end user or customer may advise Stimulonimbus in writing of the error or inaccuracy at the following address and request that it be corrected:
Stimulonimbus Incorporated
Attention: Stimulonimbus Incorporated c/o Privacy Officer
E-mail: privacyofficer@cancellationspot.com
Subject to the terms of this Privacy Policy, Stimulonimbus will change the information as soon as reasonably practical following receipt of such written request.
Principle #7 – Safeguards
7.1 Stimulonimbus will use reasonable efforts to protect personal information by security safeguards appropriate to the sensitivity of the information. Stimulonimbus has invested and deployed a wide variety of technology and security features to maintain the privacy of personal and other information on its network. In addition, Stimulonimbus has implemented strict operations guidelines to safeguard information privacy at an organizational level. Stimulonimbus will endeavour to revise policies and implement additional security features as new technologies become available. Unfortunately, no system is perfect; therefore, Stimulonimbus makes no representations or warranties with regard to the sufficiency of its security measures. Stimulonimbus shall not be responsible for any actual or consequential damages (or any other damages or liability of any kind whatsoever, whether as a result of negligence or otherwise) that result, directly or indirectly, from a lapse in compliance with this Privacy Policy because of a security breach or technical malfunction.
7.2 Stimulonimbus protects all personal information in its control, regardless of the format in which it is held. The methods of protection include:
7.3 Stimulonimbus makes its employees aware of the importance of maintaining the confidentiality of personal information. Stimulonimbus employees are governed by non-disclosure obligations prohibiting disclosure or use of any confidential or personal information for any purposes other than in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
Principle #8 – Openness
8.1 Stimulonimbus will, upon written request, make available to individuals specific information about its policies and practices relating to the management of personal information, except to the extent this may include confidential commercial information.
8.2 Stimulonimbus will make its policies and practices with respect to the management of personal information comprehensible and accessible, by providing, upon request by an individual:
8.3 Stimulonimbus will make this Privacy Policy available online at the Sites.
Principle #9 – Individual Access
9.1 Upon written request, Stimulonimbus will inform an individual whether or not the organization holds personal information about that individual, and, subject to paragraph 9.5, will provide that individual with a reasonable opportunity to review the personal information in his or her file.
9.2 Subject to paragraph 9.5, Stimulonimbus will allow the individual access to his or her personal information once the individual has provided Stimulonimbus with a written request application. The application will include sufficient information to permit Stimulonimbus to provide an account of the existence, use, and disclosure to any third parties of such personal information. Stimulonimbus will use the application only for this purpose.
9.3 Stimulonimbus will respond to an individual’s written request within 30 days, unless this period is extended in accordance with applicable legislation, in which case notice will be sent to the individual within 30 days regarding the extension, the reasons for such extension and the individual’s rights in connection with such extension. Stimulonimbus will assist any individual who informs it that they need assistance in preparing a request. While the response will typically be provided at no cost to the individual, Stimulonimbus reserves the right to impose a cost for the provision of such response, depending on the nature of the request and the amount of information involved. In these circumstances, Stimulonimbus will inform the individual of the approximate cost to provide the response and will proceed to prepare the response upon payment. The requested information will be provided or made available in a form that is generally understandable.
9.4 Stimulonimbus will be as specific as possible in providing an account of third parties to which it has disclosed personal information about an individual. When it is not possible to provide a list of the organizations to which it has actually disclosed information about an individual, Stimulonimbus will, subject to legal or regulatory requirements, provide a list of organizations to which it may have disclosed information about the individual.
9.5 In certain instances, applicable law or regulatory requirements allow or require Stimulonimbus to refuse to provide an individual access to his or her personal information. Subject to any legal or regulatory restrictions, the reasons for denying access will be provided by Stimulonimbus to the individual. This will be done upon the individual’s request, unless Stimulonimbus is required by law to provide such written reasons.
9.6 When an individual successfully demonstrates the inaccuracy or incompleteness of personal information, Stimulonimbus will amend the information as required. Depending upon the nature of the personal information challenged, amendment may involve the correction, deletion or addition of information. Where appropriate, the amended information will be transmitted to third parties having access to the information in question.
9.7 When a challenge of the accuracy and completeness of the personal information is not resolved to the satisfaction of the individual, Stimulonimbus will record the substance of the unresolved challenge. When appropriate, in Stimulonimbus’ judgment, the unresolved challenge will be transmitted to third parties having access to the information in question.
Principle #10 – Challenging Compliance
10.1 An individual will be able to address a challenge concerning compliance with the above Principles to Stimulonimbus’ Privacy Officer at:
Stimulonimbus Incorporated
Attention: Stimulonimbus Incorporated c/o Privacy Officer

This privacy statement is intended to supplement the Privacy Policy and explains our current policies regarding what information we collect, why we collect it, how we store your personal information and how you can access, update or remove your personal information. It is not intended to be a comprehensive summary of the Privacy Policy.
Topics covered by this statement:
What information is considered personal?
Any information about an individual, such as a name or address, which can be used to identify, distinguish or contact a specific individual is considered personal information.

We collect the information we require to communicate with our customers and to deliver the services you have contracted with us to deliver or have otherwise agreed to receive (the "Services"), and any other information which you choose to provide to us.

We may also collect non-identifying information related to your visit to our Site that will be used to review the performance of the Site and to look for areas of improvement.

The non-identifying information we collect may include, without limitation:
Why do we collect this information?
Personal information that you submit to the Site or which is collected by our system is used for the purpose of managing our relationship with you, fulfilling your requests, delivering the Services and as required by applicable laws or regulatory requirements.

How can you access your personal information and either correct or delete your personal information?

Please note that there are instances where applicable law or regulatory requirements allow or require us to refuse to provide some or all of the personal information that we hold about you.
