Other “persistent cookies” will remain on your computer until you delete them.

How we use your Personal Information

We strongly believe in both minimizing the Personal Information we collect and limiting its use and purpose to only (i) that for which we have been given permission; (ii) that which is necessary to deliver, improve or update the Sites and Services; and/or (iii) as we might be required or permitted by law.

Most commonly, we use your Personal Information for the following lawful purposes:

• To carry out your transactions with us and to provide the Services to you, including customer support;
• To improve and optimize the operation and performance of our Sites and Services;
• To diagnose problems and identify any security risks, errors, or necessary enhancements to the Sites;
• To detect and prevent fraud and abuse of our Sites;
• To collect aggregate statistics about use of the Sites and Services;
• To understand and analyze how you use our Sites and to identify which products and Services are most relevant to you;
• To deliver personalized communications (including marketing and event communications) to you based on your preferences across various platforms such as email, direct mail, social media or online via our Sites; and
• To market and promote the Services.

Often, much of the information collected is aggregated or statistical data about how individuals use our Services, and is not linked to any Personal Information, but to the extent that usage data is itself Personal Information, or is linked or linkable to Personal Information, we treat it accordingly.

How we might share your Personal Information

We do not sell any Personal Information to third parties.

We may share your Personal Information with third-party service providers for the limited purpose of providing the Services to you and to facilitate our legitimate business interests in providing Services which are useful and safe to you. Service providers will only be provided with access to your Personal Information as is reasonably necessary to perform the Service(s) for which the third-party has been engaged, and we will require that all such third parties to comply with terms that are at least as restrictive as those provided in this Policy and to treat Personal Information in accordance with applicable privacy laws.

Specifically, we share Personal Information with third-party services providers that perform the following functions: (i) email services; (ii) analytics; (iii) hosting and storage; (iv) website security and performance services; (iv) registration; (v) payment processing; and (vi) product delivery.

We cooperate with government and law enforcement officials and private parties to enforce and comply with the law. We will disclose any information about you to government or law enforcement officials or private parties as we, in our sole discretion, believe necessary or appropriate to respond to claims and legal process (such as subpoena requests), to protect our property and rights or the property and rights of a third party, to protect the safety of the public or any person, or to prevent or stop activity we consider to be illegal or unethical. To the extent we are legally permitted to do so, we will take reasonable steps to notify you in the event that we are required to provide your Personal Information to third parties as part of a legal process.

We may also share Personal Information where you have consented to our sharing it with a third party for a particular purpose, or to us posting your testimonials and feedback on our Sites.

How we might communicate with you

We may contact you directly regarding products or Services you have purchased from us, such as may be necessary to deliver transactional or service-related communications. We may also contact you regarding products or Services when additional information is requested or when Services have been cancelled.

If you have provided us with your consent, and subject to Canada’s Anti-Spam Legislation or similar regulations, we may send you marketing communications about products, services, events or promotions that may be of interest to you. These contacts may include email, text (SMS) messages, postal mail, telephone and private notifications and messages via social media platforms and software applications.

E-mail communications you receive from us will generally provide an unsubscribe link allowing you to opt-out of receiving future e-mails or to change your contact preferences. E-mail communications may also include a link to directly update and manage your marketing preferences. Please remember that even if you opt out of receiving marketing emails, we may still send you important service information related to your accounts and subscriptions.

You can also request changes to your account by contacting us directly at the addresses provided in the Contact Us section of this Policy.

How we store, secure and retain your Personal Information

We use Google Cloud services to store all Company records, data and information, which means your Personal Information may be stored in jurisdictions outside of Canada. Personal Information becomes subject to the laws of the country where it is stored.

We have implemented and will maintain reasonable administrative, physical and technical safeguards to protect your Personal Information, both during transmission and at rest, from loss, misuse and unauthorized access, disclosure and destruction taking into account the risks involved in the processing and the nature of the Personal Information. These safeguards include, but are not limited to: security software, firewalls, authentication protocols and encryption where appropriate.

We retain Personal Information only for as long as necessary to provide the Services you have requested and thereafter for a variety of legitimate legal or business purposes. These might include retention periods:

• mandated by law, contract or similar obligations applicable to our business operations;
• for preserving, resolving, defending or enforcing our legal/contractual rights; or
• as needed to maintain adequate and accurate business and financial records.

Your Rights regarding your Personal Information

We respect your right to access and control your Personal Information. You have choices about the information we collect. When you are asked to provide Personal Information that is not necessary for the provision of Sites and Services, you may decline. In addition, depending on the jurisdiction in which you reside, you may have certain legal rights to access, delete or request changes to the Personal Information that is in our possession or under our control.

In these cases, we will comply subject to any relevant legal requirements and exemptions, including identity verification procedures. Before providing copies of your information, we will ask for proof of identity and sufficient information about your interaction with us so that we can locate any relevant information. We may also charge you an administrative fee for providing copies of records containing your Personal Information (except where prohibited under local laws).
• Right to Correct or Delete: In some jurisdictions, you have the right to correct or amend your Personal Information if it is inaccurate or requires updating.

• Right to Withdraw Consent: To the extent we base the collection, processing and sharing of your Personal Information on your consent, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of the processing based on such consent before its withdrawal.
