We believe it's essential for you to understand the nature, purpose, and extent of the information we collect. This policy details our practices regarding the collection, use, and sharing of your personal information. Should you have any queries, please feel free to contact us.
This Privacy Policy delineates the nature of Personal Information you might furnish while using our Site or the services that fall under our purview. Specifically, our services include: Websites that link to this Privacy Policy, including those optimized for mobile viewing.

Within the context of this document, “Personal Information” pertains to information that can identify a user or, given the context, could be leveraged to identify a user. Such information can be actively provided by you or passively collected by our systems. However, aggregated data, which cannot reasonably pinpoint an individual user, is not considered Personal Information.
We only become privy to Personal Information like names, email addresses, health records, physical addresses, telephone numbers, demographic details, etc., when users voluntarily provide them. Examples include service registration, feedback, contest entries, or service usage. We may consolidate Personal Information with other data we collect from different sources. Routine server operations record non-personal details of users, capturing aspects like the operating system (e.g., iOS, Android, Windows) and browser type (e.g., Chrome, Firefox, Safari). Our systems also maintain log files that log data like IP addresses, browser type, service provider details, timestamps, and user navigation patterns. Mainly, we use this data to elevate the user experience. Other applications of this data include internal reviews of user numbers but in non-personal, aggregated formats.
We leverage the acquired Personal Information for diverse intentions, such as:
Your awareness and approval are paramount for gathering, employing, or revealing your Personal Information, barring instances where consent is legally redundant. Your engagement with this Privacy Policy inherently signifies your consent. Notably, this Privacy Policy integrates into your membership agreement for the Services. There are scenarios wherein your Personal Information might be disclosed sans consent, including but not limited to: Situations where immediate consent is elusive, yet the disclosure is in your interest. Debt collection. Interactions with Canadian public bodies or law enforcement related to offences or investigations. Legal compulsions. If you wish to retract your consent regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of your Personal Information, you can reach out to us via the provided email address, always keeping in mind the constraints of the prevailing law.
We may integrate Personal Information from individuals engaging with our Site and Services. Such consolidated data aids in refining the Site and Services, enhancing our communication, enriching our marketing strategies, and bolstering other operational functions.
You have the discretion to limit the volume and variety of Personal Information you actively share. You can opt not to input any Personal Information on the Site or within the Services. However, certain Services might mandate the provision of requisite Personal Information. Some sections of the Site may also offer choices to either opt-in or opt-out of specific promotional communications or additional services. Preference settings may be available, allowing you to dictate if you'd like the Site to utilize tracking technologies, such as cookies, for subsequent visits. Nevertheless, if the Site harnesses tracking tools to accumulate non-identifiable data, opt-out choices for such mechanisms might be unavailable.
