How Can You Protect Your Privacy

There are some simple yet very important steps you can take to protect your privacy:
  1. Notify us  if:

– You believe someone has obtained your email and password

– You believe your personal or financial information has been compromised

– You believe you have been the victim of identity theft, or that someone is using your personal information fraudulently

2.Choosing your Display Name and Passwords

Your Display Name is what other Registered Users and Visitors to the Site use to identify you.  It is a good practice to select a password for your profile that is unique, a combination of letters, numbers and symbols, and is not predictable or easy to guess. When choosing a password, you must not use:

  1. Your name or a close relative’s name
  2. Your birth date, year of birth, telephone number or address, or a close relative’s
  3. Your Display Name
  4. Any other number which can be easily obtained or guessed by someone else, or
  5. A password you use for any other service.
  6. Protect your Email Address, Display Name, and Passwords

Your Email Address, Display Name, and Passwords are the keys to your profiles. You are the only person who should know them.  Never disclose your Email Address, Display Name, or Passwords to anyone, or you could be liable for losses. No employee or agent will ever ask you verbally or through e-mail for this information.  You should memorize your Passwords rather than keeping any written record of them. However, if you decide that you truly need to keep a written record, you should follow the following rules:

  • Your Password must be disguised within the written record you make so that no else can easily guess that it is a record of your Password.
  • You should not record your Password electronically on your computer in any way, and you should not store your Password near your computer (for example, on a sticky note placed on the edge of your monitor screen).
  1. Ensure your contact information is up-to-date
  • Making sure that The OCMX has your most up-to-date address or contact information will help protect your personal information from being misdirected.
  1. Protect your privacy online
  • To protect your privacy online, you should clear your browser’s cache after each session, use a firewall, and use up to date software to protect your computer from viruses and spyware.
  • You should never post any personal information online including your name, address, phone number, email address, Social Insurance Number, driver’s licence number, bank account, credit card numbers, etc.
  1. Reduce your risk of identity theft:
  • shred documents that contain personal or financial information before you throw them out
  • request a copy of your credit bureau report periodically
  • don’t give out personal information over the phone unless you have initiated the call or know who you are dealing with
  1. If you receive a suspicious phone call, e-mail or letter, contact us.
