EQUITY INTRODUCES NEW PRIVACY OPTIONS
---------------------

In response to members' requests for more flexible options, Equity is implementing changes to its privacy policy regarding the provision of member information. Each Equity member will now be able to choose individual limits on the personal information that may be disclosed by the Association. This improved flexibility will better serve the needs of our membership while still maintaining the high level of care that Equity members expect and trust.

Look for further information and a copy of the Equity's updated Personal Information Policy in the mail.

Members already logged on to EQUITYONLINE need simply log on to the Members Only zone at http://www.caea.com, follow the prompts to "Privacy Settings" and identify which level of contact information distribution you authorize.

New EQUITYONLINE registrants must know their member number and must have a valid email address already on file with Equity to activate access to the site. Follow the link to log on to the Members Only zone. Log in using your member number (listed on the front of your membership card, our invoices and receipts) and click the TEMPORARY PASSWORD button. A temporary password will be mailed to your email address on file.

If you do not have an active email address on file or require assistance, please call the National Office Monday through Friday between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. EDT at 1-800-387-1856 (or 416-867-9165 in Toronto only).

Queries about Equity's Personal Information Policy may be directed to Douglas Irons, Equity's Privacy Officer, at the contact information listed below. The Policy may also be viewed online at EQUITYONLINE http://www.caea.com.
