Rocky Mountain Equipment LP (“Rocky”, “our”,”we”, “us”, etc.) is the owner of the Rocky Mountain Dealer Group Partnership, which focuses on the sales and service of farm, construction, and other equipment. One of western Canada’s most respected businesses, Rocky, through its subsidiaries, represents various products under contractual relationships with manufacturers including Case Construction, Case IH, New Holland, Kubota, Terex, and many others.

Rocky Mountain Equipment LP is committed to maintaining the privacy of individuals and protecting personal information in its custody or control in accordance with privacy legislation applicable to Rocky.
This Privacy Policy (“Policy”) describes and summarizes the practices of Rocky and its subsidiaries and affiliates with respect to our collection, use and/or disclosure of personal information. References to Rocky in this Policy therefore include Rocky’s subsidiaries and affiliates unless otherwise stated.

Among other things, this Policy describes our obligations and practices under the Personal Information Protection Act (Alberta) (“PIPA”) and the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (Canada) (“PIPEDA”), as applicable. Personal information we collect, use and disclose is generally processed in Alberta, so in most, if not all cases, PIPA will be the applicable legislation.

This Policy applies only to individuals and does not apply to information about corporations or other legal entities other than individuals. While Rocky respects its obligations of confidence to legal entities other than individuals, only individuals have rights of privacy.

Definitions

• In this Policy, the following terms have the following meanings:
  Business contact information means an individual’s name and position or title as an official or employee of an organization, as well as their business telephone number, business address, business e-mail, business fax number and other business contact information.
• Collection of personal information means obtaining personal information from any source, including the individual themselves and any third party.
• Disclosure of personal information means allowing or providing access to all or part of the
  information. Disclosure will generally be external to Rocky.
• Employee means any individual who provides a service to Rocky, and includes full-time and parttime employees, temporary employees, volunteers, students, and those in a contract or agency relationship with us.

Rocky Mountain Equipment LP 3 Privacy Policy

• Personal information means information about an identifiable individual, which does not
  include information of an aggregate or anonymous nature where a specific individual or
  individuals cannot be identified. Personal information also does not include business contact information, as long as business contact information is used to contact an individual in their capacity as an employee or official of an organization, and for no other purpose.
• Personal employee information refers to personal information about an individual employee, or a prospective employee, that is collected, used or disclosed by Rocky, and that is reasonably required by us for the purposes of establishing, managing or terminating an employment or volunteer relationship, but does not include personal information about an employee that is not related to the employment or independent contractor relationship. Personal employee information is therefore a sub-set of personal information about an employee.
• Use of personal information means processing or utilizing such information in any manner, including but not limited to using such information to contact the individual. Use includes accessing the information, retaining the information, and how long the information is retained.

Use will generally be internal to Rocky.

When collecting personal employee information from other sources, or when using or disclosing the personal information we have collected, we will, where legally required, first obtain the consent of the individual.

Notification and consent

Subject to this Policy and applicable legislation, we will identify the purposes for collection, use and disclosure in advance of collection, and will notify the individual of the purposes for collection, use or disclosure at or before the time of collection. It is the policy of Rocky to obtain consent of individuals at or before the time their personal information is collected, unless applicable law provides otherwise.

Rocky Mountain Equipment LP 5 Privacy Policy

It is the general policy of Rocky to not use or disclose personal information in its custody or control except with the consent of the individual and then only for identified purposes. However, individuals should be aware that there are exceptions to consent as described in this Policy.

In certain circumstances, specifically those set out in applicable legislation, the law does not require that Rocky obtain consent or provide notification. Rocky reserves all its rights to rely on any available statutory exemptions and exceptions.

Exceptions to the requirement for consent

Rocky may collect, use or disclose personal information without consent in circumstances that include but are not limited to the following:

• Where a reasonable person would consider that the collection, use or disclosure of the
  information is clearly in the interests of the individual and consent of the individual cannot be obtained in a timely way or the individual would not reasonably be expected to withhold consent;
• Where the collection, use or disclosure of the information is pursuant to a statute or
  regulation of either Alberta or Canada that authorizes or requires the collection, use or
  disclosure;
• Where the collection of the information is from a public body and that public body is
  authorized or required by an enactment of Alberta or Canada to disclose the personal
  information to Rocky, and, with respect to use or disclosure by us, we are then authorized or required to use or disclose the personal information;
• Where the collection, use or disclosure of the information is reasonable for the purposes of an investigation or a legal proceeding;
• Where the information is publicly available;
• Where the collection, use or disclosure of the information is necessary in order to collect a
  debt owed to Rocky or for Rocky to repay to an individual money owed by Rocky;
• With employees, there are certain circumstances related to personal employee information where consent is not necessary but notification may be required. See the section entitled “Employees” below.
• In certain circumstances, where the information may be disclosed without consent, it may
  also be used without consent.

Rocky Mountain Equipment LP 6 Privacy Policy

Rocky will in all cases collect, use and disclose personal information as required by applicable law, which includes, but is not limited to, the laws related to shareholders in corporations, and directors and officers of corporations. It is also the policy of Rocky to cooperate to the full extent permitted or required by law with law enforcement and governmental agencies requesting disclosure of personal information in the custody or control of Rocky.

In addition to the above, the law generally provides that an individual is deemed to consent to the collection, use or disclosure of personal information about that individual for a particular purpose if the individual voluntarily provides the information for that purpose, and it is reasonable that a person would voluntarily provide that information. If you provide personal information to us voluntarily, we will rely on deemed consent and consider that you consent to our collection, use or disclosure of your personal information as necessary to carry out the purposes for which you provided the information.

Where a new purpose for the use or disclosure of personal information previously collected arises, Rocky will contact the individual in question to obtain any required consent or to provide any required notification for use and/or disclosure for such new purpose or purposes.
Where practical, Rocky will try to collect personal information directly from you. Where necessary, Rocky will collect personal information from other sources. When Rocky collects personal information about individuals directly from them, except when their consent to the collection is deemed or has otherwise been previously and lawfully obtained, or is not legally required, we will tell them the purpose for which the information is collected, and the name of a person who can answer questions about the collection.

Employees

Personal employee information:

The law generally provides that Rocky can collect, use, and disclose an individual’s personal employee information without consent if the individual is an employee of Rocky or if it is for the purpose of recruiting a potential employee, but only if:

• the collection, use, or disclosure is reasonable for the purposes for which it is being collected, used, or disclosed;
• the information is related to the employment relationship with us; and
• we have, with current employees, provided notification to them before collecting, using or
  disclosing the information that we are doing so and our purposes for doing so.

Rocky Mountain Equipment LP 7 Privacy Policy

Information about employees other than personal employee information:
There may be personal information about a Rocky employee that is not personal employee information, in which case consent may be required. Therefore, in cases where personal information about an employee may be in addition to what Rocky reasonably believes to be personal employee information, it is our policy to obtain consent from the employee in situations where we have any doubt as to whether or not consent is required. The provisions of this Policy related to consent would apply where consent from an employee is required.

References to other employers:

Although the law may allow us to do so without consent or notice, it is generally the policy of Rocky to require consent before discussing personal employee information with prospective employers or others where the employee has used us as a reference.

Notification to employees:
It is the policy of Rocky to provide reasonable notification to our employees of the activities of Rocky with respect to the collection, use or disclosure of personal employee information and of the purposes for such collection, use or disclosure. In the event a new purpose for the use or disclosure of previously collected personal employee information arises or is identified, and those purposes are not the subject of a prior notification, we generally provide notification of such use or disclosure before commencing the new use or disclosure.

Retention and destruction of personal information

Alberta law allows us, for legal or business purposes, to retain personal information for as long as is reasonable. Upon expiry of an appropriate retention period, bearing in mind reasonable legal and business requirements, personal information will either be destroyed in a secure manner or made. Should consent, where consent is required, to our collection, use, disclosure or retention of personal information be revoked by the individual in question, the law also allows us to continue to retain the information for as long as is reasonable for legal or business purposes. In the event that revocation of consent may have consequences to the individual concerned, we will advise the individual of the consequences of revoking their consent where it is reasonable in the circumstances to do so.

Accuracy and Completeness

When we collect, use or disclose personal employee information, we will make reasonable efforts to ensure that it is accurate, up to date, and complete. This may involve requesting further information or updates from the individual in question. Employees are expected to advise us of changes to their personal information so that our records may remain current.

Outsourcing and data hosting

Rocky may use third party service providers to process or deal with records, documents, data and information on behalf of Rocky, and such records, documents, data and information may include personal information. In order to protect the confidentiality and security of personal information processed on behalf of Rocky by its service providers, Rocky will use contractual and similar measures with such service providers, including contractual non-disclosure provisions. Rocky may use “cloud computing” or other third party information technology service providers, and those providers may be either in or outside Canada, and the data housed, hosted and processed by such providers may reside in or outside of Canada, and may include personal information about individuals.

individuals. We have therefore made arrangements to secure against unauthorized access, collection, use, disclosure, copying, modification, disposal or destruction of personal information.
