Statement of Policy:

CRASI (Canadian Religious Administrative Services, Inc) is an
administrative service to the religious congregations of Canada. The
operations of CRASI include the administration of the Catholic
Religious Self Insured Retention Program, the administration of the
CRASI Employee Benefits Program, the CRASI Property/Casualty
Program and related insurance programs.

The nature of the programs administered by CRASI calls for the
collection and use of organizational and personal information in the
process of making application for insurances, assessing risks,
offering risk management advice, monitoring professional
relationships, and adjusting and/or monitoring claims.

It is the policy of CRASI that such organizational and personal
information, electronic or paper based, is protected in a secure
setting and released to authorized persons only when required to
meet our service obligations to the members. The information is not
available to other organizations except in so far as needed when they provide expertise and/or professional services to CRASI and while fulfilling the CRASI mandate. Under no circumstances will this
information be sold, given or transferred to other non-related
organizations for any purpose whatsoever.

Personal information relating to insurance matters is normally kept for a minimum period of seven years, sometimes longer as in the case of a minor. While neither CRSIRP nor CRASI are an insurance
company, CRSIRP & CRASI are obviously impacted by the same
consideration as insurers and will therefore follow the seven year
guideline. When judged no longer needed and/or relevant to the
administrative mandate of CRASI such information in both hard copy
and electronic form will be effectively destroyed and/or purged from
our electronic systems.

Every individual has the personal right of access to their personal
information. The personal information relating to individual members
of the CRSIRP or CRASI programs is available to the individuals
concerned on written request to CRASI. Likewise, corrections of
personal information from the individuals concerned are welcomed
and will be inserted into the data at the direction of the individuals
concerned. Requests for verification and/or correction should be
addressed to:

days to all inquiries relating to matters of privacy.
