    9.1 In certain situations, Panorama may not be able to provide access to all the personal information that it holds about an individual. For example, Panorama Mountain Village Inc. may not provide access to information if doing so would likely reveal personal information about a third party or could reasonably be expected to threaten the life or security of an individual. Also, Panorama Mountain Village Inc. may not provide access to information if disclosure would reveal confidential commercial information, if the information is protected by solicitor-client privilege, if the information was generated in the course of a formal dispute resolution process, or if the information was collected in relation to the investigation of a breach of an agreement or a contravention of a law. If access to personal information cannot be provided, Panorama Mountain Village Inc. shall, upon request, provide the reasons for denying access.

    9.2 In order to safeguard personal information, an individual may be required to provide sufficient identification information to permit Panorama to authorize access to the individual's file.

    9.3 Individuals can seek access to their personal information by contacting the offices of Panorama.
