We are committed to maintaining the privacy and security of the data collected on this website. Our operations are governed by Canada’s Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and Alberta’s Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA) to the extent they apply to the collection, use, and disclosure of personal information in commercial activities. Our primary purpose is to provide statistical and market information to potential customers

2.Information Collected (Non-Personal Information Only)

We explicitly state that we do not collect, use, or disclose Personal Information from our website users, other than what personal information you provide .

“Personal Information” is defined under Canadian and Albertan privacy laws as information about an identifiable individual (e.g., name, home address, email address, phone number, age, etc.).

Payment Information: We may collect data necessary to process payment if you make a purchase, such as your payment instrument numbers and the security code associated with your payment instrument. All payment information is stored by PayPal or Stripe.

Data We Collect (Non-Personal)

To monitor website performance, improve user experience, and generate statistical content, we automatically collect aggregated, non-personal data. This data cannot be linked to an identifiable individual and is used purely for statistical, analytical, and informational purposes.

• Website Statistics / Analytics
  • Pages and content viewed
  • Log and Usage Data. Log and usage data is service-related, diagnostic, usage, and performance information our servers automatically collect when you access or use our Services and which we record in log files. Depending on how you interact with us, this log data may include your IP address, device information, browser type, and settings and information about your activity in the Services (such as the date/time stamps associated with your usage, pages and files viewed, searches, and other actions you take such as which features you use), device event information (such as system activity, error reports (sometimes called “crash dumps”), and hardware settings).
  • General Geographic Information. We collect location data such as information about your device’s location, which can be either precise or imprecise. How much information we collect depends on the type and settings of the device you use to access the Services. For example, we may use GPS and other technologies to collect geolocation data that tells us your current location (based on your IP address). You can opt out of allowing us to collect this information either by refusing access to the information or by disabling your Location setting on your device. However, if you choose to opt out, you may not be able to use certain aspects of the Services
  • Referring websites (e.g., search engines, external links). In order to enhance our ability to provide relevant marketing, offers, and services to you and update our records, we may obtain information about you from other sources, such as public databases, joint marketing partners, affiliate programs, data providers, social media platforms, and from other third parties. This information includes mailing addresses, job titles, email addresses, phone numbers, intent data (or user behavior data), Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, social media profiles, social media URLs, and custom profiles, for purposes of targeted advertising and event promotion. If you interact with us on a social media platform using your social media account (e.g., Facebook or Twitter), we receive personal information about you such as your name, email address, and gender. Any personal information that we collect from your social media account depends on your social media account’s privacy settings.
• Technical Information
  • The type of operating system and web browser used
  • Device type (e.g., desktop, mobile). We collect device data such as information about your computer, phone, tablet, or other device you use to access the Services. Depending on the device used, this device data may include information such as your IP address (or proxy server), device and application identification numbers, location, browser type, hardware model, Internet service provider and/or mobile carrier, operating system, and system configuration information
  • Internet Protocol (IP) address (which is used to determine general geographic location but is not stored or retained in a format that identifies the user).
• Cookies and Tracking
  • We may use cookies or similar technologies for the sole purpose of gathering the non-personal analytical data described above (e.g., distinguishing between repeat visitors and new visitors). These are purely functional or analytical and do not collect personal identifiers

3.Purpose of Data Collection and Use

The non-personal data collected is used for the following purposes:

1. Informational Content: To generate and present the statistical and market information provided on our website to potential customers
2. Website Improvement: To understand visitor trends, measure the effectiveness of the website content, and improve the functionality and design of the website
3. Security: To monitor network traffic for evidence of unauthorized attempts to access or modify our systems

We may process your information if you have given us specific permission (i.e., express consent) to use your personal information for a specific purpose, or in situations where your permission can be inferred (i.e., implied consent). You can withdraw your consent at any time

In some exceptional cases, we may be legally permitted under applicable law to process your information without your consent, including, for example:

• If collection is clearly in the interests of an individual and consent cannot be obtained in a timely way
• For investigations and fraud detection and prevention
• For business transactions provided certain conditions are met
• If it is contained in a witness statement and the collection is necessary to assess, process, or settle an insurance claim
• For identifying injured, ill, or deceased persons and communicating with next of kin
• If we have reasonable grounds to believe an individual has been, is, or may be victim of financial abuse
• If it is reasonable to expect collection and use with consent would compromise the availability or the accuracy of the information and the collection is reasonable for purposes related to investigating a breach of an agreement or a contravention of the laws of Canada or a province
• If disclosure is required to comply with a subpoena, warrant, court order, or rules of the court relating to the production of records
• If it was produced by an individual in the course of their employment, business, or profession and the collection is consistent with the purposes for which the information was produced
• If the collection is solely for journalistic, artistic, or literary purposes
• If the information is publicly available and is specified by the regulations

We will not use this non-personal data to create individual profiles, re-identify any user, or for any purpose beyond the explicit informational and operational uses described above.

4.Disclosure of Information

5.Security and Accountability

We employ industry-standard technical measures (e.g., firewalls, encryption for data in transit) to protect our systems and data against loss, unauthorized access, and unauthorized disclosure.
