Website users agree to bear all risks associated with their use of the website, including any reliance on the availability, accuracy, completeness, timeliness, usefulness or appropriateness of the website or its content. None of the content on Brookfield.com is an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to buy, any securities, financial products, investments or other services.

Certain information contained on this website may constitute “forward-looking statements” as defined in applicable securities laws.

In some cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by terms such as “expects,” “anticipates,” “plans,” “believes,” “estimates,” “seeks,” “intends,” “targets,” “projects,” “forecasts” or negative versions thereof, or future or conditional verbs such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “would” and “could.” Although Brookfield believes that the anticipated future results, performance, or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions and expectations in light of information available at the time such statement is or was made, no reliance should be placed on forward-looking statements because they involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance, or achievements to differ materially. Some of the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from expectations are discussed in the documents that Brookfield files with securities regulators in Canada and the United States.

In addition, Brookfield may disclose your Personal Information in the circumstances outlined below:

These third parties will be subject to confidentiality requirements (either by contract, professional obligation or otherwise) and they will only use your Personal Information as described in this Privacy Policy;
  • to the extent required by law (for example, if Brookfield is compelled by an obligation or a duty to disclose your Personal Information in order to comply with any legal obligation, including (without limitation) in order to investigate unauthorized attempts to modify the Website, install harmful files or cause damage to the Website or Brookfield), or to establish, exercise or defend its legal rights;
  • as part of a transaction, financing, or for other business needs (for example, if Brookfield sells any of its businesses or assets, applies for a loan, or opens bank accounts, in which case Brookfield may need to disclose your Personal Information to the prospective buyer, lender or bank, as the case may be, as part of certain due diligence processes); or

Accessing Personal Information

On your written request, we will use reasonable efforts to provide you with access to Personal Information about you in Brookfield’s possession. However, given the nature of the information collected through the Website as described above, Brookfield may not be able to associate information in its possession with you personally.

Respecting and Responding to Your Privacy Concerns 

You have the option to refuse or withdraw consent to the collection, use and disclosure of Personal Information through the Website, and we will respect your choices. In some cases, when you withdraw consent to the collection or use of personal information on the Website, you may notice reduced Website functionality or need to use alternative means of contacting Brookfield.

We will investigate and respond to questions or concerns about any aspect of our handling of Personal Information involving the Website.

EU Data Protection Laws

Where EU data protection laws apply, the provisions in this section will apply in addition to the general provisions set out above.

Pursuant to EU data protection laws Brookfield Asset Management Inc. is the controller of your Personal Information collected and processed via the Website.

For how long Brookfield will hold your Personal Information will vary and will be determined by the following criteria:

  • The purpose for which Brookfield is using it: Brookfield is required to retain the Personal Information for as long as is necessary to satisfy or meet the purpose for which it was obtained or any other legal purpose.
  • Legal Obligations: Laws or regulations may set a minimum period for which Brookfield must retain your Personal Information.

Where we transfer your Personal Information to another country outside the European Economic Area, we will ensure that it is protected and transferred in a manner consistent with legal requirements. In relation to data being transferred outside of Europe, for example, this may be done in one of the following ways:

  • the country that we send the data to might be approved by the European Commission as offering an adequate level of protection for Personal Information;
  • the recipient might have signed up to a contract based on “model contractual clauses” approved by the European Commission, obliging them to protect your Personal Information;
  • where the recipient is located in the US, it might be a certified member of the EU-US Privacy Shield scheme; or
  • in other circumstances the law may permit us to otherwise transfer your Personal Information outside Europe.

You can obtain more details of the protection given to your Personal Information when it is transferred outside Europe (including a copy of the standard data protection clauses which we have entered into with recipients of your Personal Information) by contacting us using the details below.

In all the above cases in which we collect, use or store your Personal Information, you may have the following rights, and, in most cases, you can exercise them free of charge. These rights include:

  • the right to obtain information regarding the processing of your Personal Information and access to the Personal Information which we hold about you;
  • the right to withdraw your consent to the processing of your Personal Information at any time. Please note, however, that we may still be entitled to process your Personal Information if we have another legitimate reason for doing so. For example, we may need to retain Personal Information to comply with a legal obligation;
  • in some circumstances, the right to receive some Personal Information in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and/or request that we transmit those data to a third party where this is technically feasible. Please note that this right only applies to Personal Information which you have provided directly to Brookfield;
  • the right to request that we rectify your Personal Information if it is inaccurate or incomplete;
  • the right to request that we erase your Personal Information in certain circumstances. Please note that there may be circumstances where you ask us to erase your Personal Information but we are legally entitled to retain it;
  • the right to object to, or request that we restrict, our processing of your Personal Information in certain circumstances. Again, there may be circumstances where you object to, or ask us to restrict, our processing of your Personal Information but we are legally entitled to refuse that request; and
  • the right to lodge a complaint with the relevant data protection regulator if you think that any of your rights have been infringed by us.

You can exercise your rights by contacting us using the details below.
