Our privacy commitment to you

At Koodo, we respect our customers' privacy and take great care to safeguard personal information. As part of our ongoing commitment to putting customers first, we have a long-standing policy of protecting privacy in all of our business operations.1 We believe that an important part of protecting privacy is to be clear about how we handle customers' personal information, and to make information about our approach easily accessible. While our Privacy Code sets out the general principles that govern the collection, use and disclosure of our customers' personal information2, we have also developed this Privacy Commitment to provide you with more specific details about our privacy practices.3
Koodo is part of the TELUS family, and is subject to the TELUS Privacy Commitment and Code. To learn more about TELUS' privacy practices, please visit
telus.com/privacy
. Also available, and applicable to Koodo, is the
Transparency Disclosure
within the
TELUS Sustainability Report
.
We have learned from our customers that sometimes you just want the big picture, while other times you may want more details or examples of how a policy or process works. For this reason, we have structured this Privacy Commitment in layers. Importantly, both our Privacy Code and Privacy Commitment reflect the requirements of Canada's applicable privacy legislation, including the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act, applicable Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) privacy regulations, and our own continuing commitment to customer privacy. The bottom line is that we want you to understand the purposes for which we collect, use and disclose personal information about our customers. The following is a summary of our privacy practices.

Why we collect personal information

If you are a Koodo customer, Koodo collects certain information about you. We respect your privacy, which is why we collect personal information only for the following purposes:

When we share personal information

We take great care with what information we share, and why. There are circumstances where we share some personal information about our customers:

Some of the ways we respect your privacy

  • We have appointed a Chief Data & Trust Officer to oversee our Data & Trust Office. The Office is responsible for maintaining an accountable privacy management program specifically designed to protect your privacy, and for setting policies and procedures to earn and maintain your trust in our data handling practices.
  • We have embraced the seven foundational principles of Privacy by Design, striving to embed these privacy enhancing principles into all of our product and service development processes.

Our safeguards include administrative, physical and technical security controls. We protect the privacy of your personal information through contractual and other means when we are working with other companies.
  • We may de-identify personal information for a variety of reasons, including to safeguard it, or where de-identified information will serve the purposes for retaining the information. For example, we may de-identify certain network usage or location data for long term planning where individual customers' personal information is not required. We may also de-identify information prior to conducting analytics that don't require personal information.
  • We strive to keep your personal information as accurate and up-to-date as is reasonably necessary for the purposes we identify.
