  1. GETTING AND WITHDRAWING YOUR CONSENT
    1. We only collect information by lawful means. As part of using our products and services or interacting with us, we may collect and process some details about you. When we do so, we will collect, use, or share your personal information with your consent for the purposes identified or as otherwise permitted or required by law. In compliance with our privacy obligations, we may obtain your permission through this Privacy Policy or through other means (such as express verbal or written consent). However, in some situations, the law allows us to collect, use, or disclose personal information without your consent.
    2. You can withdraw your consent to the collection, use, or disclosure of your information at any time. However, in some cases withdrawing consent will mean that we can no longer provide you with certain services or perform certain tasks where the information is required to do so. You may withdraw your consent by contacting the Privacy Officer (see Section 12 below) and, subject to any legal constraints, we will comply with your request.
  2. COOKIES AND WEB ANALYTICS
    1. Cookies
      1. We may use “cookies” and similar technologies such as web beacons, clear gifs, and embedded scripts on this Site. Cookies are essentially small packages of data stored on your internet browser that tell us about your browsing behaviour on this Site and sometimes other sites. We use both session and persistent cookies. We also use both first and third-party cookies. We use that information to monitor the usage of our website and improve it, enable certain Site functions, and perform analytics. We may also use this information to improve our marketing and deliver advertisements to you.
      2. Many web browsers provide the capability to configure your cookie settings including disabling or deleting them. Please note that if you choose to block all cookies, you may not be able to access or use all or parts of our website and/or parts of our Site may not function properly.

    2. Web Analytics.
      1. We may use web analytics to collect information about the use of our Site across devices and pages. These tools provide us with information on user behaviour on the Site and allow us to advertise to users after they leave the Site.
      2. Do-Not-Track Requests. Because of the rapidly changing state of technology, we cannot make any guarantees that our systems will be able to honour Do-Not-Track requests sent by your browser.
  3. SECURITY

We utilize industry standard storage and protection procedures in order to safeguard personal information on servers that are not accessible to the public. No data storage or transmission plan is without risk. We cannot guarantee the security of your personal information transmitted to our Site.
    2. The safety and security of your information also depend on you. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password for access to certain parts of our Site, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share your password with anyone.
  4. INTERNATIONAL TRANSFER AND STORAGE

Some of our service providers and business partners may be based outside of Canada. This means your information may be accessible to law enforcement authorities outside of your jurisdiction, in accordance with the laws of that jurisdiction.
