This privacy policy (the “Policy”) describes the kinds of personal information we collect about you, why we collect it, how we use it, how we protect it, and under what circumstances we share it with third parties. This Policy also describes the decisions you can make about your personal information. You may require us to change, amend or delete the personal information that you have provided to us at any time. If you do not agree to the terms of this Policy, please do not use the Platform (as described in the Terms of Use). 

If this Policy changes in the future, we will post an updated version on our Platform. We recommend that you check this Platform periodically in order to review our current Policy. You can tell if this Policy has changed by checking the effective date that appears at the bottom of this Policy. Depending on the circumstances, we may also decide to send you a notice in other ways in our discretion, such as via email or other contact information you have provided that the Policy was changed. If you continue to use our Platform and/or Services (as defined in the Terms of Use) after the Policy changed or notice of the change has been given, you will be deemed to have accepted such changes. 

By visiting our Platform, or using our Services, you are accepting and agree to comply with this Policy and you acknowledge and agree that any access or use by you is subject to our Terms of Use. Capitalized terms used here, but not defined, have the meanings provided in the Terms of Use.

We may also use information to conduct investigations, as may be required, including to detect fraud, abuse, security breaches and other harmful activity, to resolve disputes and enforce agreements and policies, and in order to meet and comply with legal and regulatory requirements.

Except as described in this Privacy Policy and the Terms of Use, we will not share, sell or rent your personal information in personally identifiable form with any third party, except if, and to the extent necessary, in our good faith judgment, doing so is required to: comply with laws or regulations; respond to a valid subpoena, order, or government request; establish or exercise the Company’s legal rights or defend against legal claims; investigate, detect, supress, prevent or take action regarding illegal or prohibited activities, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the reputation or physical safety of any person; or as otherwise required by law. 

We will retain your personal information only for a time and to the extent necessary for the purposes for which it was collected as described in this Policy and for reasonable backup, archival, audit, or other similar purposes. 

If we have disclosed your personal information to a third party in accordance with this Policy, we will ensure that it is only retained by that third party for as long as is necessary for that third party to complete the purpose for which we provided it to them.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Policy, we may remove personal identifiers from your information and maintain and use it in a de-identified form that may be combined with other information to generate aggregated information. Such de-identified and/or aggregated information will be deemed to be owned by us and we shall have unrestricted title, rights, and interest to the de-identified and/or aggregated information which may include, without limitation, the right to use, distribute, transmit, transfer, license, trade, rent, share, assign, and sell the de-identified and/or aggregated information.  We will retain your personal information as long as necessary for the fulfillment of the identified purposes or as otherwise necessary to comply with applicable laws.

If such a sale, merger, acquisition, or disposal is completed, we will use reasonable efforts to direct the transferee to use personal information you have provided to us in a manner that is consistent with this Policy.  Following such a sale or transfer, you may contact the entity to which we transferred your personal information with any inquiries concerning the processing of that information.

If you contact us to do any of the things listed above, we may require you to provide sufficient personal information to allow us to identify you and tell you about the existence, use and disclosure of your personal information and this personal information will only be used for this purpose. If you contact us about your personal information, we will respond to your request within a reasonable time and at no cost to you.  

Generally, you may withdraw at any time your consent for us to collect, use, and disclose your personal information in accordance with this Policy, subject to legal or contractual restrictions and reasonable notice. As such, we may continue to collect, use, and disclose your personal information as may be required to provide you with our Platform, and to the extent that we are contractually obligated to do so or as necessary to enforce any contractual obligations you may have with us. If you refuse to provide us with the information we require or later contact us to withdraw your consent for us to use and disclose your personal information, we may no longer be able to provide you with our Platform.

Our use of cookies and log files

We use browser tracking cookies (or “cookies”), which are small text files that are placed on the hard disk of a computer by a Platform. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a Platform or web server that issued the cookie to you.  We also use browser “log files” which record certain information when you visit a Platform, including your IP address. To improve your experience on our Platform, we use cookies and logs files to: recognize you when you return to our Platform; keep track of activity on our Platform and remember what items you have clicked on or viewed; study how you navigate through our Platform and which Platform you request in site searches so that we can improve the design, content and function of our Platform; and customize the message, content and delivery of online banner advertisements and e-mails that reflect how you navigate to and through our Platform based on your online behavior. We call this “Browsing Data”. We may hire third-party service providers to assist us in the collection and analysis of this Browsing Data collected through cookies, but none of your personal information is disclosed to these third party service providers.  

You have the ability to accept or decline our use of cookies. You can refuse cookies by turning them off or blocking them in your internet browser. If you decide to turn off or block cookies, our Platform might not function correctly. 

Security 

We aim to provide you with a safe experience. We have in place certain physical, electronic, technological, and organizational safeguards that are designed to protect the security and privacy of your personal information against loss, theft, and unauthorized access, disclosure, copying use or modification. Please note, however, that while we try to create a secure and reliable Platform for users, the confidentiality of any communication or material transmitted to or from the Platform or via e-mail cannot be guaranteed. 

We limit access to your personal information within the Company to individuals on a need-to-know basis.

Your personal information may be transferred, processed and retained on servers in countries outside of Canada, including the United States, and may therefore be subject to laws that do not offer the same degree of protection as Canadian law, although the Company will ensure that contractual protections, at least equal to its own standards, are put in place with those owning or managing servers located outside Canada. While we undertake to protect your personal information when it is transferred to other jurisdictions, the laws of other jurisdictions may require the disclosure of your personal information to governmental authorities under circumstances that are different than those that apply in Canada and are contemplated under this Policy.

Links to Other Sites 

We provide links on our Platform to other, third party sites we think you will enjoy. These sites operate independently of us and have established their own privacy and security policies. Any personal information you provide on linked pages or other sites is provided directly to that third party and subject to that third party’s privacy policy. We strongly encourage you to review these policies at any site you visit. This Policy does not apply to such linked pages or other sites, and we are not responsible for the content or practices of any linked Platforms which are provided solely for your convenience. 

Children’s Online Privacy Protection 

The Platform and our Services may be used by people of all ages, including those under the age of thirteen (13). Company does not knowingly collect or use any personal information from any children under the age of 13 without the consent of a child’s parent(s) or guardian(s). If we become aware that we have unknowingly collected personal information from a child under the age of 13 without the consent of a child’s parent(s) or guardian(s), we will make commercially reasonably efforts to delete such personal information from our database. 

Questions or Comments 

If you have any questions or comments or wish to make a complaint about this Policy, please feel free to contact us at the contact address listed below. If you contact us about your personal information, we will respond to your request within a reasonable time and at minimal cost or no cost to you in accordance with applicable laws. Depending on the circumstances and applicable laws, we may refuse to process certain access requests (for example, access requests that are unreasonably repetitive or systematic, would be extremely impractical or require disproportionate technical effort).
