1. Introduction
This Policy describes:
• How I collect, use, disclose, and protect the personal information of my customers and Service users.
• The types of information I may collect from you or that you may provide when you visit and/or access the Services.
• My practices for collecting, using, maintaining, protecting, and disclosing that information.
I will only use your personal information in accordance with this Policy unless otherwise required by applicable law. I take steps to ensure that the personal information that I collect about you is adequate, relevant, not excessive, and used for limited purposes.
What is Personal Information?
Privacy laws in Canada generally define "personal information" as any information about an identifiable individual, which includes information that can be used on its own or with other information to identify, contact, or locate a single person. Personal information does not include business contact information, including your name, title, or business contact information.
This Policy applies to information that I collect, use, or disclose about you:
• Through the Services.
• In email, text, and other electronic messages between you and the Services.
• When you interact with my advertising and applications on third-party websites and services if those applications or advertising include links to this Policy.
The Services may include links to third-party websites, plug-ins, services, social networks, or applications. Clicking on those links or enabling those connections may allow the third party to collect or share data about you. If you follow a link to a third-party website or engage a third-party plugin, please note that these third parties have their own privacy policies and I do not accept any responsibility or liability for these policies. I do not control these third-party websites, and I encourage you to read the privacy policy of every website you visit.
This Policy DOES NOT apply to information that:
• I collect offline or through any other means, including on any third-party website;
• You provide to or is collected by any third party through any application or content (including advertising) that may link to or be accessible through my Services.
Please read this Policy carefully to understand my policies and practices for collecting, processing, and storing your personal information. If you do not agree with my policies and practices, your choice is not to use my Services and/or access the SIte. This Policy may change from time to time (see Changes and Updates to This Policy).

I collect and use several types of information from and about you, including:
• Personal information, that I can reasonably use to identify you directly or indirectly, such as your name, mailing address, e-mail address, telephone number, Internet protocol (IP) address used to connect to the Internet, billing, and any other identifier I may use to contact you (“personal information”). I provide an opportunity for any customer to unsubscribe from communications or opt-out of contact for marketing purposes on an ongoing basis by using the unsubscribe mechanism at the bottom of my e-mails, or by contacting me at the contact information provided below.
• Non-personal information, that does not directly or indirectly reveal your identity or directly relate to an identifiable individual, such as demographic information, or statistical or aggregated information.

For example, I may aggregate personal information to calculate the percentage of users accessing a specific feature of the Services.

8. Data security
The security of your personal information is very important to me. I use physical, electronic, and administrative measures designed to secure your personal information from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure. I store all information you provide to me behind firewalls on secure servers. Any payment transactions and any financial information will be processed by third-party payment processors who use SSL technology.
Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the Internet is not completely secure. Although I do my best to protect your personal information, I cannot guarantee the security of your personal information transmitted while using the Services. Any transmission of personal information is at your own risk. I am not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures contained on the Services.

It is important that the personal information I hold about you is accurate and current. Please keep me informed if your personal information changes. By law you have the right to request access to and to correct the personal information that I hold about you.
I may request specific information from you to help me confirm your identity and your right to access, and to provide you with the personal information that I hold about you or make your requested changes. Applicable law may allow or require me to refuse to provide you with access to some or all of the personal information that I hold about you, or I may have destroyed, erased, or made your personal information anonymous in accordance with my record retention obligations and practices. If I cannot provide you with access to your personal information, I will inform you of the reasons why, subject to any legal or regulatory restrictions.
I will provide access to your personal information, subject to exceptions set out in applicable privacy legislation. Examples of such exceptions include information:
• protected by solicitor-client privilege;

Residents of the European Economic Area (the “EEA”) can exercise certain data rights available to them under applicable data protection laws. I will comply with requests to exercise these rights in accordance with applicable laws. Please note that in some circumstances, I may need to keep processing your personal information for certain legitimate interest or to comply with legal obligations.

If you want to update personal information which is out of date or incorrect, restrict the way that I process and disclose specific personal information about you or object to the processing of your personal information, then please submit your request by emailing me at the contact information provided below.
13. Rights of California residents
In addition to the rights in the Policy, California residents who provide personal information to obtain products or services for personal, family, or household use are entitled to request and obtain from me, once a calendar year, information about the personal information I shared, if any, with other businesses for marketing uses. If applicable, this information would include the categories of personal information and the names and addresses of those businesses with which I shared such personal information for the prior calendar year (ie: requests made in the current year will receive information about the prior year). To obtain this information, please contact me at the contact information provided below.
Any requests to exercise your rights can be directed to me at the contact details provided in this Policy. Please note that I may ask you to verify your identity before responding to such requests. Your request must provide sufficient information that allows me to verify that you are the person you are claiming to be or that you are the authorized representative of such person. You must include sufficient details to allow me to properly understand the request and respond to it. I cannot respond to your request or provide you with personal information unless I first verify your identity or authority to make such a request and confirm that the personal information relates to you.
14. Children’s privacy
I take special precautions to comply with applicable laws regarding children’s advertising and privacy. The Services are not directed to children under the age of 13, and I will never knowingly collect personal information or other information from anyone it knows to be under the age of 13. If you think I have done this, please let me know.
For residents of the EEA and residents where the processing of personal information is based on consent, I will not knowingly engage in that processing for users under the age of consent established by applicable data protection laws. If I learn that I are engaged in that processing with such users, I will halt such processing and will take reasonable measures to promptly remove that information from my records.
15. Changes and updates to this policy
I may change this Policy from time to time. Laws, regulations, and industry standards evolve, which may make those changes necessary, or I may make changes to my business. I will post the changes to this page and encourage you to review my Policy to stay informed. Your continued use of the Services after posting such changes constitutes your binding acceptance of such changes. If I make changes that materially alter your privacy rights, I will provide additional notice. If you disagree with the changes to this Policy, you should contact me at the contact information below.
