Your privacy is important to us, and we are committed to ensuring your privacy is respected and protected. As part of this commitment, we have prepared this Privacy Policy in accordance with federal and provincial laws and regulations, and in compliance with the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (Canada) (PIPEDA). This policy explains the manner in which we collect, use, disclose and otherwise treat the Personal Information of users of, and visitors to, the www.vizible.com web site (the "Site").
What is Personal Information?
"Personal Information" is information about an identifiable individual, and may include such information as their name, mailing address, phone number, email address, and financial information.
How and Why Do We Collect your Personal Information?
A. Optional Information
Occasionally, we may request demographic information (like your age or gender) or information about your interests, purchasing preferences, and experiences with Vizible technology. In most instances, you do not have to provide us with this information to use the Site. We use this optional demographic and preference information to tailor or improve the Site and our technologies, as well as for internal marketing research purposes. This information is not shared with unaffiliated third parties.
B. Customer Service
When you contact us with a question, feedback or other comment, you may be asked for information that identifies you, such as your name, address and telephone number, in order to verify your identity and to help us promptly answer your question or respond to your comment or feedback. We may retain this information to assist you in the future. We also may use your feedback, suggestions and comments to monitor or improve the Site or our technologies. This information also will not be shared with unaffiliated third parties.
C. Web Site Visits
While you can visit the Site without telling us who you are or providing us with any Personal Information, we collect the IP (Internet protocol) addresses of all visitors to the Site as well as data and other related information such as page requests, browser type, browser language, referring/exit pages and URLs, operating system, platform type, number of clicks, landing pages, pages viewed and the order of those pages, the amount of time spent on particular pages, and the date and time of your request (collectively, "Web Information"). This Web Information is not Personal Information and is used to monitor and improve the Site and our technologies.
D. Cookies
To enhance your experience with the Site and our technologies, many of our web pages may use “cookies”, which are small text files that we place in your browser to store your preferences. We use cookies to understand site usage and to improve the content and offerings on the Site and our technologies. For example, we may use cookies to personalize your experience with the Site (e.g. to recognize you by name when you return to our site, or to tailor content or product and service offerings).
Cookies, by themselves, do not provide us your Personal Information. Once you choose to provide a web page with Personal Information, however, this information may be linked to the cookie. Since a cookie is unique to your computer and can only be read by the server that gave it to you, there is little risk that a third party will be able to read any Personal Information that may be stored in a cookie on your computer.
How We Use And Disclose Your Personal Information?
We will not disclose, rent, sell or otherwise transfer your Personal Information to any unaffiliated third party without your consent, except as otherwise set out in this Privacy Policy.
A. Third Party Processors And Agents
We may display targeted advertising based on Personal Information you provided when you register for the Site or based on the content you are viewing at any given time. In displaying the advertising, the Site may use third parties to present or serve the advertisements that you may see at its web pages and to conduct research about the advertisements. This Privacy Policy does not cover any use of Personal Information (as defined below) that such third parties may have collected from you.
We may transfer (or make available) your Personal Information to third parties who administer services on our behalf. All of our service providers are required to maintain the confidentiality and security of your Personal Information and to use it only in compliance with applicable privacy laws and regulations, and are prohibited from using or disclosing your Personal Information for any purpose other than providing services on our behalf or as otherwise required by applicable law and regulations.
B. Third Party Products and Services
If you use the Site, we may request and obtain your permission to share your contact information with carefully selected marketing partners who may contact you by mail or e-mail with offers about products and services that may be of interest to you. If you do consent to this use of your Personal Information, you will be able to remove your name from such marketing lists upon receipt of any marketing e-mail at any other time.
C. Sale of Business
We reserve the right to transfer any Personal Information we have about you in the event of a merger with a third party or upon a sale or transfer of all or a portion of our business or assets to a third party acquirer or one of our affiliates.
D. Legal
We may provide your Personal Information in response to a search warrant or other legally valid inquiry or order, or to an investigative body in the case of a breach of an agreement or contravention of law, or as otherwise required by law.
How We Safeguard Your Personal Information
In an effort to maintain the confidentiality of all Personal Information in our custody and control, we have implemented measures, including limiting access to employees and authorized service providers who require such information for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy. We also maintain administrative, technical and physical safeguards in an effort to protect against unauthorized access, use, modification and disclosure of any Personal Information in our custody and control.
Accuracy And Access To Your Personal Information
Not only do you have the right to determine the existence of Personal Information being held by us, you also have the right to access and determine the accuracy of any such information of yours being held by us. We are committed to providing such access, and ensuring that all your Personal Information is accurate, complete and up-to-date.
In order to access your Personal Information, challenge the accuracy and completeness of the information or request amendments where appropriate, you may contact our Privacy Officer using the contact information provided at the bottom of this Policy.
How Long Do We Retain Personal Information?
Your Personal Information is maintained in electronic records on our servers at our offices in Toronto. We only keep your Personal Information as along as necessary for the purposes we collected it, or as otherwise required by law.
Third Party Web Sites and Links
While the Site may provide links to third party web sites, this Privacy Policy applies to the Site only. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such other web sites.
Changes To This Privacy Statement
This Privacy Statement may be updated periodically to reflect changes to our practices. The revised Privacy Policy will be posted on the Site. Although the Policy may change from time to time, the Policy in effect at the time we collect your Personal Information shall govern the use of such information, unless you otherwise consent.
