If you choose to access our website, use our services or purchase our products, we may require you to provide data as indicated on the forms throughout the site.

1.2  Cookies, Web Beacons, and Other Info Collected Using Technology:

The Company currently uses cookie and web beacon technology to associate certain Internet-related information about you with information about you in its database. Additionally, the Company may use other new and evolving sources of information in the future.

(a)  Cookies

“Cookies” are a feature on your browser software. If enabled, we may write cookies that may store small amounts of data on your computer about your visit to any of the pages of this Website. Cookies assist us in tracking which of our features appeal the most to you and what content you may have viewed on past visits. When you visit this Website again, cookies can enable us to customize our content according to your preferences. We may use cookies to: keep track of the number of return visits to this Website; accumulate and report aggregate, statistical information on website usage; deliver specific content to you based on your interests or past viewing history; save your password for ease of access to our Website. You can disable cookies, although the Website may not function properly for you. Your browser preferences can be modified to accept or reject all cookies, or request a notification when a cookie is set. You may read more about cookies at http://cookiecentral.com. In order to use all of the features and functionality of the Company’s Websites, you need to accept cookies.

(b)  Web Beacons

A web beacon is a programming code that can be used to display an image on a web page, but can also be used to transfer your unique user identification to a database and associate you with previously acquired information about an individual in a database. This allows the Company to track certain websites you visit. Web beacons are used to track online behavioral habits for marketing purposes to determine products or services you may be interested in. In addition to using web beacons on web pages, the Company also uses web beacons in email messages sent to individuals listed in the Company’s database.

(c)  IP Addresses

The Company automatically tracks certain information based upon your behavior on the site. We may use this information to do internal research on our users’ demographics, interests, and behavior to better understand, protect and serve you and our community. This information may include the URL that you just came from (whether this URL is on the site or not), which URL you next go to (whether this URL is on the site or not), your computer browser information, and your IP address. Your Internet Protocol (“IP”) is a unique Internet “address” which is assigned to you by your Internet Service Provider (“ISP”). For local area network (“LAN”), DSL, or cable modem users, an IP address may be permanently assigned to a particular computer. IP addresses are automatically logged by Web servers, collecting information about a user’s traffic patterns. While the IP address does not identify an individual by name, it may, with the cooperation of the ISP, be used to locate and identify an individual using the Web. Your IP address can, however, reveal what geographic area you are connecting from, or which ISP you are using. Finally, other websites you visit have IP addresses, and we may collect the IP addresses of those websites and their pages.

(d)  Computer Profiles

The Company may also collect and accumulate other anonymous data which will help us understand and analyze the Internet experience of our visitors. For instance, the Company may accumulate visitor data relating to referring domain names, the type of browsers used, operating system software, screen resolutions, color capabilities, browser plug-ins, language settings, cookie preferences, search engine keywords and JavaScript enablement. When you provide us with Personal Identification Information, we are able to use such visitor data to identify you.

(e)  Data Analysis

Data Analysis technology may be employed from time to time if used by a Client of the Company.

(f)  New Technology

The use of technology on the Internet, including cookies and web beacons, is rapidly developing. As a result, the Company strongly encourages individuals to revisit this policy for any updates regarding its use of new technology.

1.3  No Information Collected from Children

The Company will never knowingly collect any data about children under the age of 13. If the Company obtains actual knowledge that it has collected data about a child under the age of 13, that information will be immediately deleted from its database. Because it does not collect such information, the Company has no such information to use or to disclose to third parties. The Company has designed this policy in order to comply with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”).

1.4  Credit Card Information

The Company may, in certain instances, collect credit card numbers and related information when a customer places an order from the Company. When the credit card information is submitted to the Company, such information is encrypted and is protected with SSL encryption software. The Company will use the credit card information for purposes of processing and completing the purchase transaction, and the credit card information will be disclosed to third parties only as necessary to complete the purchase transaction.

You should also note that unsubscribing from the Company’s electronic mailings will not automatically unsubscribe the subscriber’s information from any Third Party business associates and licensees of the data.

This allows you the freedom to pick and choose which subscriptions to maintain and which to discontinue.

Where we disclose Personal Information to third parties that perform services on our behalf, we will require those third parties to use such information solely for the purposes of providing services to us and to have appropriate safeguards for the protection of that Personal Information. You may separately agree to provide your Personal Information to third parties that provide content and/or offerings to our Website and/or users. If you agree to provide such information to these third parties, then your Personal Information will be subject to their privacy policies in addition to our own.

We may disclose your Personal Information to a third party or parties where you consent to such disclosure or the disclosure is required by law. Some or all of the Personal Information we collect may be stored or processed in jurisdictions outside of Canada, including the United States. As a result, this information may be subject to access requests and legal requirements from governments, courts, or law enforcement in those jurisdictions according to laws in those jurisdictions.

We reserve the right to transfer Personal Information in the event that we merge with or are acquired by a third party. We also may disclose your Personal Information for any other purpose permitted by law or to which you consent.

Transferring Your Personal Information

We may transfer Personal Information that we collect or that you provide as described in this policy to contractors, service providers, and other third parties we use to support our business. To the extent possible, we will obligate such businesses to use this information only for the purposes for which we disclose it to them and to process the Personal Information with the same standards set out in this policy.

We may process, store, and transfer your Personal Information in and to a foreign country, with different privacy laws that may or may not be as comprehensive as Canadian law. In these circumstances, the governments, courts, law enforcement, or regulatory agencies of that country may be able to obtain access to your Personal Information through the laws of the foreign country.

By submitting your Personal Information or engaging with the Website and/or Services, you consent to this transfer, storage, or processing.
