Cookies and Web Analytics

We use a number of cookies and analytics tools that collect Personal Information when you use our Services or consent to receive our marketing emails. This includes information about how you use the Services, information about your device and browser, your IP address and the web pages you visited before and after visiting our website.

Cookies

We may use “cookies” and similar technologies such as web beacons, clear gifs and embedded scripts on our Services. Cookies are essentially small packages of data stored on your internet browser that tell us about your browsing behaviour on this website and sometimes other sites. We use both session and persistent Cookies. We use that information to monitor usage of our website and improve it, enable certain website functions, and perform analytics. We may also use this information to improve our marketing and deliver advertisements to you.

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 website may not function properly.

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.

Security

We have implemented administrative, technical, and physical security measures to protect against the loss, misuse and/or alteration of your information. We utilize industry standard storage and protection procedures in order to safeguard Personal Information on servers which are not accessible to the public.

The safety and security of your information also depends on you. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password for access to certain parts of our Services, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share your password with anyone.

Transfer and Storage

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

Retention

We only keep your information as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected or to meet our legal requirements. After that, we will either destroy or anonymize your information.
