Milton Hydro Distribution Inc. (“Milton Hydro”) is pleased to be your provider of electricity distribution services and where connected to Town water, a billing agent for your water and wastewater services. Providing you with a reliable supply of electricity and/or billing for your water and wastewater services requires that Milton Hydro collect and keep certain personal information about you. We are committed to protecting the privacy of your personal information and we have developed policies and procedures in compliance with the Personal Information Protection and Electronics Document Act (“PIPEDA”).
We would like to take this opportunity to inform you about the personal information that we collect, how it is used, how we protect its confidentiality and your rights in respect to this information.

Our billing, settlement and regulatory relationships with third parties are governed by licenses and codes which are established by the Ontario Energy Board. As required by law or regulation, your information may also be shared or disclosed to other agencies or organizations.
