possession is as accurate, current and complete as necessary for the purposes for which
B-ZEE REALTY INC. uses that data. Information contained in files that have been closed is not actively updated or
maintained.

the purpose for which it was collected and Firm legal or business requirements.
5. Security
B-ZEE REALTY INC. endeavours to maintain adequate physical, procedural and technical security with respect to
its offices and information storage facilities so as to prevent any loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure,
or modification of Personal Information.
B-ZEE REALTY INC.further protects Personal Information by restricting access to it to those Employees and
Contractors that the management of B-ZEE REALTY INC. has determined need to know that information in order
that B-ZEE REALTY INC. may provide services to Clients.
6. Access to Personal information
B-ZEE REALTY INC. permits access to and review of Personal Information held by B-ZEE REALTY INC. about an
individual by the individual concerned. If an individual believes any Personal Information concerning that individual
is not correct, that person may request an amendment of that information by sending a request to the person
indicated above. B-ZEE REALTY INC. reserves the right not to change any Personal Information but will append
any alternative text the individual concerned believes appropriate. Where not required to be retained by the Firm,
an individual may also request that B-ZEE REALTY INC.delete an individual’s Personal Information from B-ZEE
REALTY INC.’s system and records. However, due to constraints of computer technology and the fact that B-ZEE
REALTY INC. backs up its systems, Personal Information may continue to reside in B-ZEE REALTY INC. systems
after deletion. Individuals, therefore, should not expect that their Personal Information would be completely
removed from B-ZEE REALTY INC. systems in response to an accepted request for deletion.
B-ZEE REALTY INC.reserves the right to decline access to Personal Information where the information
requested:
a) Would disclose the Personal Information of another individual or of a deceased individual;

(iii) serious bodily harm to another individual;
e) May harm, or interfere with, law enforcement activities and other investigative or regulatory functions of a
body authorized by statute to perform such functions;
f) Is not readily retrievable and the burden or cost of providing would be disproportionate to the nature or value of
the information; or
g) Does not exist, is not held, or cannot be found by B-ZEE REALTY INC..
Where information will not or cannot be disclosed, the individual making the request will be provided with the
reasons for non-disclosure. Where information will be disclosed, B-ZEE REALTY INC. will endeavor to provide
the information in question within a reasonable time and no later than 30 days following the request. B-ZEE
REALTY INC. will not respond to repetitious or vexatious requests for access. In determining whether a request is
repetitious or vexatious, it will consider such factors as the frequency with which information is amended, the
purpose for which the information is used, and the nature of the information. To guard against fraudulent
requests for access, B-ZEE REALTY INC.will require sufficient information to allow it to confirm the identity of the
person making the request before granting access or making corrections.
