1. PERSONAL INFORMATION WE COLLECT

This privacy policy applies to our collection, use and disclosure of your personal information.  However, this privacy policy does ‎not impose any limits on the collection, use or disclosure of business contact information or certain publicly available information, except as required by applicable law.‎

We collect personal information from our business customers, from you directly when you disclose it to us, from you automatically when you use the Services, and from third parties, as described further below. If we combine non-personal information with personal information, we will treat the combined information as personal information in accordance with applicable law.

Personal information we process for our business customers: Please note that the personal information we collect through our Services includes information that our business customers instruct us to process according to the terms of the agreement we have with them. Typically, this personal information consists of contact information such as names, email and mailing addresses, and telephone numbers; information for account administration (such as usernames and passwords); IP addresses, cookies and device information; or content information that varies based on the Services such as case management information or investigation information. Some of this information may be considered personal information or even sensitive personal information under various applicable laws. If you have questions about the processing of your personal information by our business customers, we encourage you to contact them, and they will then direct us how to respond to your request.

Personal information you disclose to us: We collect personal information that you provide to us when visiting our website, downloading our guides, using our Services, participating in activities on the Services or otherwise communicating with us. The personal information that we collect depends on the context of your interactions with us and the Services, the choices you make and the products and features you use and generally includes business contact information such as name, address, email, phone, title, company name and products or services you may be interested in. All personal information that you provide to us must be true, complete and accurate, and you must notify us of any changes to such personal information.

Personal information automatically collected: We automatically collect certain information when you visit, use or navigate the Services. This information may include device and usage information, such as, but not limited to, your IP address, browser and device characteristics, operating system, language preferences, referring URLs, device name, country, general location, information about how and when you use our Services and other technical information. This personal information is primarily needed to maintain the security and operation of our Services and for our internal analytics and reporting purposes. In addition, we and third-party advertising, analytics and measurement companies may use a variety of technologies that automatically or passively collect certain personal information whenever you visit the Services or otherwise interact with us or our content, which may include the hardware model, browser, and operating system you are using, the URL or advertisement that referred you to us, the areas within the Services that you visit, the content you view and how you interact with it, your time zone, location information, and mobile network (if applicable) among other information. In some cases, we may directly collect general location information through your devices or browsers including for security and fraud prevention purposes. You may be able to turn off the collection of location information through the settings on your device.

Information From Third Parties. We may receive personal information about you from third parties, including our business customers, business partners, advertisers, analytics and measurement providers, government entities and data providers. We may also supplement the information we collect with outside records from third parties, such as public databases, publicly available Social Media pages, and third parties who enhance the information we have about you, such as if you work for a prospective business customer. We use this information to better provide our Services, to tailor our content and the offers we show you, and for other business and operational purposes. Any information collected and stored by the above third parties is subject solely to the third party’s privacy practices.

Aggregated and De-identified Data. Please note that we may de-identify or pseudonymize personal information, and there may be other exceptions such as for information that is available publicly. When we have agreed to maintain and use de-identified data without attempting to re-identify it, we will not re-identify it except where permitted by applicable law. We will treat de-identified or pseudonymized information as non-personal to the fullest extent allowed by applicable law.

3. COOKIES AND OTHER TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES

Cookies and Local Storage. Cookies and local storage are data files placed within a browser on a device when it is used to visit a Service. Certain web browsers and browser add-ons may provide additional local data storage mechanisms. Cookies and local storage can be used for a variety of purposes, including to store a unique identifier for your device that recognizes your device as you visit the Services, other sites or online services and to remember your preferences. Most browsers provide you with the ability to disable or decline cookies and local storage. You will need to check your browser’s settings for further information. If you choose to disable cookies or to adjust your privacy settings on your device, some features of a Service may not function properly.

Cross-Device. We and third parties, such as NextRoll, may share personal data, such as hashed email derived from emails or other online identifiers collected on our sites with NextRoll and other advertising partners.

If you choose to remove cookies or reject cookies, this could affect certain features or services of our Services.

13. CANADIAN PRIVACY RIGHTS

If you contact us via telephone, the call may be recorded for quality and security purposes and so that we can respond to your request.

You may instruct us to refrain from using your personal information in any way that is not ‎required ‎for us to ‎provide the Services to you.  We will not refuse you access ‎to any product or service ‎merely because you ‎have advised us to stop using your personal ‎information in any way ‎that is not required for the Services.‎ Conversely, if you do not consent to the collection of certain personal information, we may be unable to provide certain services to you.

If you demonstrate the inaccuracy or incompleteness of your personal information, we will amend the ‎information as required.  If appropriate, we will send the amended information to third parties to whom ‎the information has been disclosed.  When a challenge regarding the accuracy of personal information is not resolved to your satisfaction, we ‎will annotate the personal information under our control with a note that the correction was requested but ‎not made.‎

Upon written request to our Data Privacy Officer, and authentication of your identity, we will provide you your ‎personal information under our control.  We will also give you information about the ways in which that ‎information is being used and a description of the individuals and organizations to whom that ‎information has been disclosed.  We may charge you a reasonable fee for doing so, where permitted by ‎applicable law.‎

In some situations, we may not be able to provide access to certain personal information (e.g., if ‎disclosure would reveal personal information about another individual, the personal information is ‎protected by solicitor/client privilege, the information was collected for the purposes of an investigation ‎or where disclosure of the information would reveal confidential commercial information that could harm ‎our competitive position).  We may also be prevented by law from providing access to ‎certain personal information.  Where an access request is refused, we will notify you in writing, document the reasons for refusal and ‎outline further steps which are available to you.‎

We will keep personal information used to make a decision affecting you for at least one year after using ‎it to make the decision.‎ We will destroy, erase or make anonymous documents or other records containing personal information ‎once it is reasonable to assume that the original purpose is no longer being served by retention of ‎the information and retention is no longer necessary for a legal or business purpose.‎

If you are a resident of the province of Quebec or are otherwise subject to the Quebec Act respecting the protection of personal information in the ‎private sector, there are additional rights available to you in addition to those listed above:

  • ‎You can request data portability, meaning that you have the right to receive a copy of your personal information in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable form and, if technically ‎feasible, to transfer such personal information to another party at your request; ‎and
  • You can request deindexation of your personal information, meaning that, under certain circumstances, you can ask that we cease ‎to disclose any of your personal information or that we deindex any ‎hyperlink ‎‎associated with your name and ‎allowing to access your personal information, if such ‎disclosure is ‎‎prohibited by law or otherwise deemed harmful‎.‎

14. UPDATES

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. The updated version will be indicated by an updated date. If we make material changes to this privacy policy, we may notify you either by posting a notice of such changes or by directly sending you a notification.
