Types of Information We Collect

Personal information is any information recorded in any form that identifies or can identify you as an individual and includes any information provided to us by you or by third parties (“Personal Information”). While we try to ensure that every third party who discloses Personal Information to us has your consent to do so, if you believe a third party has inappropriately disclosed your Personal Information to us, please contact that third party. If they do not adequately respond to your inquiries, please let us know immediately. More detail of the type of Personal Information we collect and for what purposes is found below.

Personal Information does not include an individual’s business address or business telephone number or information that is aggregated in such a manner that it cannot be connected to you (“Non-Personally Identifiable Information”). This includes a variety of information collected through our websites, none of which by itself or together can be used to identify an individual. In addition, we may set and access cookies on your computer. Cookies are pieces of information that we place on your computer to identify your account, allow for proper functioning of websites and website activity, and collect Non-Personally Identifiable Information. We do not use cookies to retrieve information from your computer that we did not originally send in a cookie.

As part of our commitment to treat your Personal Information with respect, we operate in accordance with the PIPEDA fair information principles (the “PIPEDA Principles”): accountability; identifying purposes; consent; limiting collection; limiting use, disclosure, and retention; accuracy; safeguarding customer information; openness; access; and handling customer complaints and suggestions.
