We will provide specific notice before collecting any
of your personal information (details that can identify you as an individual,
such as your name or address). We will explain what information is being
collected and how it will be used. You have the right to decline to have this
information collected or transferred for marketing purposes.
We collect no personal information about you unless
you choose to provide that information to us. We do not use techniques that
collect personal information about you without your knowledge.
We will not transfer your personal information to a
third party for marketing purposes unless we have your consent. Any personally
identifiable data about our customers or Web site visitors is stored securely.
We collect no personal information about children
(under 13 years of age) without the express, positive consent of their parent or
guardian.
How we use non-personal information
Our site's operating system may automatically record
some general information about your visit, such as:
The Internet domain for your Internet service
provider, such as 'company.com' or 'service.ca' and the IP address of the
computer accessing the Web site, such as 'ppp-55
The type of browser (such as 'Netscape version x'
or 'Internet Explorer version x') you are using
The type of operating system you are using (such
as Macintosh, Unix, or Windows)
The date and time you visit our site and the Web
pages that you visit on our site, along with the address of the previous Web
site you were visiting, if you linked to us from another Web site.
We use this information for statistical analysis, to
help us make our site more useful to visitors. We may disclose this non-personal
information to third parties such as sponsors, clients or advertisers and/or use
it for auditing purposes. This tracking system does not record personal
information about individuals or link this information to any personal data
collected.
We may use 'cookies' that identify you as a return
visitor. A cookie is a piece of data that a Web site can send to your browser,
which may then store the cookie on your hard drive. So, when you come back to
visit us again, we can tailor information to suit your individual preferences.
The goal is to save you time and provide you with a more meaningful visit and to
measure Web site activity. Cookies do not contain any personally identifying
information. Browsers such as Netscape allow you to disable cookie collection if
you wish, or inform you when a cookie is being stored on your hard drive.
What about spam?
You will not receive marketing e-mail from
this organization unless you have consented to receive it.
From time to time we may use e-mail as a way to keep
in touch with our existing customers and other interested individuals. However,
we do not send 'spam' (unsolicited marketing e-mail).
If you agree to receive e-mail communications from
us, every e-mail message we send to you will include an e-mail address to which
you can respond. If at any time you decide you do not want to receive marketing
e-mail from us, simply let us know and we will remove your name and e-mail
address from our marketing lists. We will do the same with your mailing address
and telephone number, on request.
When you leave this site
This policy discloses the privacy practices for our
Web site. However, our site contains links to other sites. Once you link to
another site, you are subject to the privacy and security policies of the new
site. We encourage you to read the privacy policies of all Web sites you visit,
especially if you share any personal information.
