We only retain personal information for as long as is necessary for the purpose for which it was collected. When we no longer are required to retain the information, we will destroy, erase, or de-identify the information.

Equiton shall take into account the accessibility needs and/or individual accommodation plans of employees when using performance management processes, providing career development and advancement, and using redeployment.
Workplace Emergency Response Information
Equiton provides individualized workplace emergency response information to employees who have a disability if the disability is such that individualized information is necessary and the employer is aware of the need for accommodation. Equiton provides this information as soon as practicable after becoming aware of the need for accommodation.
If an employee who receives individualized workplace emergency response information requires assistance and provided that the employee’s consent is obtained, Equiton will provide the workplace emergency response information to the person designated by the employer to provide assistance to the employee.
Equiton reviews the individualized workplace emergency response information in the following circumstances: when the employee moves to a different location in the organization when overall accommodation needs or plans are reviewed, and when it reviews its general emergency response policies.
Inability to Accommodate
Equiton provides workplace accommodation up to the point of undue hardship. Undue hardship may occur where it is established that no forms of reasonable accommodation exist, or where the creation of accommodation would create a health and safety hazard or cause unreasonable costs for the company.
Where accommodation is found to cause undue hardship on the organization, the company will work to find a fair and equitable compromise that meets the needs of the employee and the company to the greatest extent possible.
3. Accessibility Standards for our Facilities
