Privacy Policy
We comply with the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act
(PIPEDA) and other relevant Canadian privacy laws and regulations. This privacy
statement demonstrates our firm and continuing commitment to the privacy of personal
information provided by those visiting and interacting with this website. We hold the
privacy of your personal information in the highest regard. The following discloses our
information-gathering and dissemination practices for this website.
What Information Do We Collect?
When you visit this website, you may provide us with two types of information: personal
information you knowingly choose to disclose that is collected on an individual basis,
and website use information collected on an aggregate basis as you and others browse
our website.
1. Personal Information You Choose to Provide:
Contact information such as name, address, postal code, email address, and phone
number is used to fulfill your request for information, products, and services, provide
relevant advertising, and respond to your inquiries.
If you choose to correspond with us through email, we may retain the content of your
email messages, your email address, and our responses. We provide the same
protections for these electronic communications we employ to maintain information
received by mail and telephone.
2. Website Use Information:
Similar to other commercial websites, our website utilizes a standard technology
called “cookies” (see explanation below, “What Are Cookies?”) and web server log
files to collect information about how our website is used. Information gathered
through cookies and web server logs may include the date and time of visits, the
pages viewed, time spent at our websites, and the websites visited just before and
just after our websites.
How Do We Use the Information That You Provide to Us?
We use personal information to administer our business activities, provide the products
and services you requested, process your payment, monitor the use of the service,
improve our marketing and promotional efforts, and customize our site’s content, layout,
and services for other lawful purposes. These uses improve our site and better tailor it
to meet your needs.
Furthermore, such information may be shared with others on an aggregate basis.
Personally identifiable information or business information will not be shared with parties
except as required by law.
Occasionally, we may also use the information we collect to notify you about significant
changes to our website, new services, and special offers we think you will find valuable.
You may inform us anytime if you do not wish to receive these messages by emailing us
at the unsubscribe link in our newsletters and email marketing campaigns.
What Are Cookies?
A cookie is a small text file stored on your computer by a website. It helps the site
remember information about your visit, like your preferences and actions. Cookies
cannot access other data on your computer or spread viruses.
How Do We Use Information We Collect from Cookies?
Cookies help us understand how you use our website. For example, they allow us to
see which pages are popular and how long visitors stay on them. This information helps
us improve our website. Cookies do not collect personal information, and we do not
store any personal data in them.
IP Addresses
Your computer uses IP addresses every time you connect to the Internet. Your IP
address is a number used by computers on the network to identify your computer. Our
web server automatically collects IP addresses as part of demographic and profile data
known as traffic data so that data (such as the web pages you request) can be sent to
you.
Sharing and Selling Information
We do not share, sell, lend, or lease any information that uniquely identifies a subscriber
(such as email addresses or personal details) with anyone except to the extent
necessary to process transactions or provide services that you have requested.
How Can You Access and Correct Your Information?
Under PIPEDA, you have the right to access, correct, and delete your personal
information. You can exercise these rights by contacting us at [email protected]
What About Legally Compelled Disclosure of Information?
We may disclose information when legally compelled to do so, in other words, when we,
in good faith, believe that the law requires it or for the protection of our legal rights. We
may also disclose account information when we have reason to believe that disclosing
this information is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone
violating our Terms of Service or to protect the safety of our users and the public.
What About Other Websites Linked to Our Website?
We are not responsible for the practices employed by websites linked to or from our
website or the information or content contained therein. Often, links to other websites
are provided solely as pointers to information on topics that may be useful to our
website’s users.
Please remember that when you use a link from our website to another, our Privacy
Policy is no longer in effect. Your browsing and interaction on any other website,
including those with a link on our website, is subject to that website’s rules and policies.
Please read over those rules and policies before proceeding.
Your Consent
By using our website, you consent to our collection and use of your personal information
as described in this Privacy Policy. We reserve the right to amend this policy at any
time, with or without notice.
Our Commitment to Data Security
Please note that your information will be stored and processed on our computers in
Canada. The laws on holding personal data in Canada may be less stringent than those
of your country of residence or citizenship. To prevent unauthorized access, maintain
data accuracy, and ensure the correct use of information, we have established
appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure
the information we collect online.
International Data Transfers
Your personal information may be transferred to and processed in countries other than
Canada. We take appropriate steps to ensure that your information receives the same
level of protection as it would under Canadian privacy laws.
Privacy Officer
We have appointed a Privacy Officer to oversee our privacy practices. You can contact
our Privacy Officer at [email protected].
Additional Security Measures
We employ advanced security measures, such as encryption, firewalls, and secure
access controls, to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, or
disclosure.
A Special Note About Children
Children are not eligible to use our services unsupervised, and we ask that children
(under 14) not submit any personal information to us. If you are a minor, you can use
this service only with permission and guidance from your parents or guardians.
Acquisition or Changes in Ownership
If the website (or a substantial portion of its assets) is acquired, your information would
be considered part of those assets and may be transferred as part of those assets.
Policy Modifications
We may change this Privacy Policy from time to time. If/when changes are made, we
will email users who have permitted us to do so. We will post any changes here, so
check back periodically. However, please be assured that if the Privacy Policy changes
in the future, we will not use the personal information you have submitted to us under
this Privacy Policy in a manner materially inconsistent with this Privacy Policy without
your consent.
Changes will always be prospective, not retroactive. If you have questions about our
policies, please contact us.
