If we make any significant changes to this policy, we will notify you by email, or post a notice of such changes on the Site, or flag our Privacy Policy on the Site as updated.

What personal information we collect and how we use it

The information obtained through our surveys and customer research is used in an aggregated, non-personally identifiable form. We use this information to help us understand our customers, and to enhance our product and service offerings, promotions and events.

How we protect your personal information

We have implemented technical, physical and administrative safeguards designed to protect personal information against loss, theft or unauthorized or unlawful access, use, disclosure, alteration or destruction.

We have personal information retention processes designed to retain personal information for no longer than necessary for the purposes stated above or to otherwise meet legal requirements.

Other data we collect that is not personally identifiable

We collect information regarding your use of the Site, such as computer-related information (browser type you used, your Internet Protocol address, last URL visited, and the date and time of day of your login). We send a “cookie” or “pixel tag” to your computer that contains an identification number that is unique to the computer you are using. You may decline to provide personal information to us and/or refuse cookies in your browser, although some of our features or services may not function properly as a result, and some services may not be available. We use this information to enhance the experience of using the Site, to tailor our Site for you and other future visitors, to understand how our Site is used, to investigate and verify proper conduct at the Site, and to monitor the security and integrity of the Site.

We may also use third parties to serve our advertisements on other websites. These companies may use tracer tags or web beacons to report certain information (but not your name, address, email address or telephone number) about your visits to our Site and the websites that advertise and feature links to our Site, in order to measure the effectiveness of our advertisements.

We use data in the aggregate for our business purposes, but we do not use it in a manner that allows identification of an individual user.

These links are not intended as an endorsement of or referral to the linked websites. The linked websites have separate and independent privacy statements, notices and terms of use, which we recommend you read carefully.

Your personal information may be maintained and processed by our affiliates and other third party service providers in Canada, the US or other foreign jurisdictions.
