    The work output of Equiton employees, whether in paper records, computer files, or any other storage format belongs to us, and that work output, and the tools used to generate that work output, are always subject to review and monitoring by Equiton. In the course of conducting our business, we may monitor employee activities on our premises and property. For example, some of our locations are equipped with surveillance cameras. Where in use, surveillance cameras are there for the protection of employees and third parties, and to protect against theft, vandalism, and damage to Equiton\u2019s goods and property. Generally, recorded images are overwritten on a regular basis and not shared with third parties unless there is suspicion of a crime, in which case they may be turned over to the police or other appropriate government agency or authority. This section is not meant to suggest that all employees will in fact be monitored or their actions are subject to constant surveillance. It is meant to bring to your attention the fact that such monitoring may occur and may result in the collection of personal information from employees (e.g. through their use of our resources). When using Equiton\u2019s equipment or resources, employees should not have any expectation of privacy with respect to their use of such equipment or resources.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
