1. Objectives of the privacy policy:

Privacy respect and protection of personal information are essential to us. Through this Policy, we aim to protect them in accordance with applicable laws.

To ensure this protection, Leader Auto Resources Inc commits to collecting, processing, and sharing information that can identify an individual only when the individual has consented, unless permitted or required by law, in which case your consent will not be necessary.

The Policy aims to inform users of the reasons and how Leader Auto Resources Inc, or anyone acting on its behalf, will collect and use their personal information. It is written in clear language to ensure informed consent from users.

For the purposes of this Policy, "personal information" refers to any information about an identifiable person or information that allows identifying a person. Whenever possible, we will anonymize, pseudonymize, and/or aggregate this information so that it no longer identifies a person.

2. Effective date:

This Policy is effective from 2023 and replaces the Privacy Policy dated September 1, 2023.

3. Consent collection methods:

We commit to obtaining consent before collecting an individual's personal information. Consent can be explicit or implicit and may be provided directly by the person or by their authorized representative.

We prefer obtaining explicit consent, whether verbally, electronically, or in writing. However, implicit consent may be reasonably inferred from a person's action or inaction. For example, providing a name and address to receive a publication or providing a name and phone number to get a response to a question is considered implicit consent to the collection of information containing personal details. To determine the appropriate type of consent, we consider the sensitivity of the personal information involved, the purposes for which it is collected, and the reasonable expectations of a person in a similar situation.

If we intend to use personal information for a new purpose, we will describe the intended use.

It may not always be possible, especially in the case of a government request, to obtain the person's consent to collect, use, or disclose their personal information. We commit to never disclose this type of information unless in compliance with this Policy, unless required or permitted by law.
