III. Sharing and Disclosure of Personal Information
Superior shares or discloses Personal Information as follows.

where the information is publicly available;
-
to protect the rights, property, interests or safety of Superior or its stakeholders;

International Transfers and Storage of Personal Information

In those circumstances, Personal Information may be subject to local laws and law enforcement requirements, and it may be disclosed to the governmental authorities, courts, or law enforcement agencies of those jurisdictions if required by those laws. Superior primarily stores Personal Information in Canada and the United States.
IV. Protection and Retention of Personal Information
Protection of Personal Information
Superior maintains physical, technical and procedural safeguards that are appropriate to the sensitivity of the Personal Information in question. These safeguards are designed to prevent Personal Information from loss, theft, and unauthorized access, copying, use, modification or disclosure. These safeguards include: passwords, encryption and other electronic security measures; locked or limited access to premises and file cabinets; and security monitoring of premises.
Retention of Personal Information
Except as otherwise permitted or required by applicable law or regulatory requirements, Superior retains Personal Information only for as long as is reasonable to fulfill the purposes for which the Personal Information was collected (including, for the purpose of meeting any legal, accounting or other reporting requirements or obligations). To the extent permitted by applicable law, Superior may, instead of destroying or erasing Personal Information, make it anonymous such that it cannot be associated with or tracked back to a specific individual.
V. Privacy Rights and Choices
Updating Personal Information
It is important that Personal Information contained in Superior’s records is both accurate and current. Superior asks that customers, suppliers and third parties keep us informed of changes to Personal Information during the course of the business relationship.
If an individual believes the Personal Information about them held by Superior is not correct, the individual may request an update of that information by making a request to Superior’s Privacy Officer using the contact information set out below. In some circumstances Superior may not agree with the request to change an individual’s Personal Information and will instead append an alternative text to the record in question.
Accessing Personal Information
An individual may ask to see the Personal Information that Superior holds about them. If someone wants to review, verify or correct their Personal Information, they may contact our Privacy Officer. Please note that any such communications must be in writing.
Additional Privacy Rights
Depending on an individual’s province, state, or country of residence, the individual may also be entitled to request:
-
information about automated decisions we may make and to submit observations regarding them;
-
that we disclose their Personal Information to a third party;
-
that we delete their Personal Information;
-
to withdraw their consent (for more information, see Section VI. Consent below);
-
that we confirm whether we are processing their Personal Information, and provide details regarding the categories of Personal Information collected, the sources of that information, the purposes for collecting it, and the categories of Personal Information disclosed, sold, or shared for targeted advertising purposes and the categories of recipients;
-
that we do not sell their Personal Information or share their Personal Information for targeted advertising purposes; or
-
that we limit our collection, use, or disclosure of Sensitive Personal Information.
Superior will not discriminate against an individual for exercising these rights, subject to certain exceptions permitted by applicable law, such as offering a different price, rate, or quality of product or service where the difference is reasonably related to the value of the Personal Information.
When responding to a request, Superior may require specific information from an individual to confirm their identity and their rights in the Personal Information, such as their name, contact information, and details of their relationship with Superior. Superior may charge a fee to respond to rights requests where permitted by law, but it will advise of any fee in advance. If help is needed in preparing a request, an individual can contact the office of Superior’s Privacy Officer. Where Personal Information will be disclosed to an individual, Superior will endeavour to provide the information in question within a reasonable time and no later than 30 days following the request.
An individual’s rights with regard to Personal Information are not absolute. There are instances where applicable law or regulatory requirements may permit or require Superior to refuse a request to exercise these rights, such as when:
-
information is prohibitively costly to provide;
-
information contains references to other individuals;
-
information cannot be disclosed for legal, security or commercial proprietary reasons; and
-
information is subject to solicitor-client or litigation privilege.
In addition, the Personal Information may no longer exist, may have been destroyed, erased or made anonymous in accordance with Superior’s record retention obligations and practices.
In the event that Superior cannot fulfill a rights request, it will endeavour to inform that individual of the reasons why the request has been denied, subject to any legal or regulatory restrictions.
Where permitted by applicable law, an individual may use an authorized agent to submit a request on the individual’s behalf, provided Superior is able to verify the authorized agent’s authority to act for the individual, such as through a valid power of attorney or a signed letter identifying the individual and the authorized agent and confirming the agent’s authorization. Superior may still need to contact the individual directly to confirm the authorized agent’s authority and to verify the individual’s identity.
VI. Consent
Superior only collects Personal Information by lawful means. Superior may obtain consent through this Policy or through other means (such as express consent given verbally or in writing). However, in some situations, the law allows Superior to collect, use or disclose Personal Information without consent.
As set out above, by submitting Personal Information to Superior (including by contacting Superior or seeking Superior’s products or services), individuals consent to the collection, use and disclosure practices set out in this Policy as they relate to individuals’ Personal Information.
An individual is entitled to change or withdraw their consent at any time, subject to legal or contractual restrictions (and reasonable notice), by contacting Superior’s Privacy Officer using the contact information set out below. In some circumstances, a change in or withdrawal of consent may limit Superior’s ability to provide products or services to, or acquire products or services from, that individual.
VII. Cookies, Web Analytics and Targeted Advertising
Superior may use cookies, pixels, and other tracking technologies (together, “Cookies”) on Superior websites and in email communications to collect information (including technical information described under Section II. Collection and Use of Personal Information above) about visitors to Superior’s websites and applications and how they use them, and to measure the effectiveness of our email marketing campaigns.
Types of Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Superior uses Cookies for three primary purposes:
-
Advertising: We may work with online platforms for advertising purposes, such as Google, Meta (Facebook), LinkedIn, Pinterest, TikTok, and Nextdoor.

This information is used to provide and inform targeted advertising, to create lookalike audiences and to provide advertising-related services such as reporting, attribution and market research. While we do not sell Personal Information for monetary consideration, the sharing of Personal Information for targeted advertising purposes may be considered a “sale” or “sharing” of Personal Information under certain U.S. privacy laws, and individuals may exercise applicable opt-out rights as described in this Policy.
-

We also use Cookies with analytics providers to understand how visitors use our websites, and to improve our websites and users’ experience on them. Some tools may record user sessions to understand how visitors navigate our websites.
-

Do-Not-Track Requests

Where enabled, Global Privacy Control signals will automatically opt out any cookies that constitute a sale of Personal Information or are used for targeted advertising purposes.
