    EMAIL COMMUNICATIONS

    If you send us an email with questions or comments, we may use your personal information to respond to your questions or comments, and we may save your questions or comments for future reference. However, aside from our reply to such an email, it is not our standard practice to email you directly unless you request a particular service that involves email communications. You may also have the opportunity to subscribe to an email list or electronic newsletter that will send information about our websites or our advertisers to your email address. We will provide you with the option to change your preferences and opt-out of receiving those communications. You may request at any time that we not email you in the future by clicking the "unsubscribe" link, which will be included at the bottom of any email that you receive from us. If you unsubscribe, we will make reasonable efforts to discontinue these email communications as soon as practicable.

    SMS/MMS MOBILE MESSAGING MARKETING PROGRAM

    We respect your privacy. We will only use information you provide through the Program to transmit your mobile messages and respond to you, if necessary. This includes, but is not limited to, sharing information with platform providers, phone companies, and other vendors who assist us in the delivery of mobile messages.  WE DO NOT SELL, RENT, LOAN, TRADE, LEASE, OR OTHERWISE TRANSFER FOR PROFIT ANY PHONE NUMBERS OR CUSTOMER INFORMATION COLLECTED THROUGH THE PROGRAM TO ANY THIRD PARTY. Nonetheless, We reserve the right at all times to disclose any information as necessary to satisfy any law, regulation or governmental request, to avoid liability, or to protect Our rights or property. When you complete forms online or otherwise provide Us information in connection with the Program, you agree to provide accurate, complete, and true information. You agree not to use a false or misleading name or a name that you are not authorized to use. If, in Our sole discretion, We believe that any such information is untrue, inaccurate, or incomplete, or you have opted into the Program for an ulterior purpose, We may refuse you access to the Program and pursue any appropriate legal remedies.

    ONLINE BEHAVIOURAL ADVERTISING

    Like many other companies, we engage in online behavioural advertising or interest-based advertising. "Online behavioral advertising” or “interest-based advertising” includes advertisements served to you after you leave our website, encouraging you to return. They also include advertisements that we think are relevant based on your shopping habits or online activities. These advertisements might be served on websites or on apps. They might also be served in emails. These advertisements maybe served by us or other third parties. They might be about our products or other companies' products.

    You have some choices when it comes to online behavioural advertising: We adhere to the Digital Advertising Alliance Self-Regulatory Principles for Online Behavioural Advertising and the Digital Advertising Alliance of Canada’s Canadian Self-Regulatory Principles for Online Behavioural Advertising. DAA’s principles are available: https://youradchoices.com/principles and DAA Canada’s principles available: https://assets.youradchoices.ca/pdf/DAAC-ThePrinciples.pdf.

    • the Self-Regulatory Program for Online Behavioral Advertising program provides consumers with the ability to opt-out of having their online behavior recorded and used for advertising purposes.
    • The Digital Advertising Alliance (“DAA”) also offers a tool for opting-out of the collection of cross-app data on a mobile device for interest-based advertising.

    For more information, including how to opt out of having your online behavior collected for advertising purposes or to exercise choice for companies participating in the DAA tool, please see https://youradchoices.com/. Choices you make are both browser and device-specific.

Subject to any exceptions prescribed by law, you can access and correct your personal information and challenge the accuracy and completeness of the information we have about you. We may deny access when required or authorized by law. For example, we may deny access when granting access would have an unreasonable impact on other people’s privacy or when necessary to protect our confidential commercial information and the requested information cannot be severed from the balance of the record in which it is contained. If we deny your request for access to, or refuse a request to correct information, we shall explain why.
