Canada One Outlets is dedicated to protecting your privacy. By accessing or using the canadaoneoutlets.com Website or otherwise providing personal information to us, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy, as outlined below. If you do not agree to these terms, please do not access or use this Website or provide us with your personal information. We reserve the right to change the Privacy Policy from time to time at our sole discretion. Your use of this Website will be subject to the most current version of this Privacy Policy at the time of such use.

What is “personal information”?

Canadian privacy laws define “personal information” broadly as information about an identifiable individual or information that allows an individual to be identified, including a person’s name, address, postal code, telephone number, e-mail address, and birth date among others. In general, “personal information” does not include business contact information: your title or business address, telephone or facsimile number.

What information are we responsible for protecting?

We are responsible for protecting your personal information in our possession or custody, including personal information that has been transferred to, or received from, a third party in the course of commercial activities, or to fulfill any of the other purposes identified in this Policy.

What information do we collect and why?

We do not collect personal information about individuals except when such personal information is provided to us on a voluntary basis. The information we typically collect includes name, e-mail address, telephone number, mailing address, postal code, age, birth date and month, and gender.

In general, we collect, use and disclose your personal information to serve you better. Knowing you better helps us understand your needs, communicate effectively with you, and provide you with the services you want. More specifically, we may collect, use and disclose your personal information in order to fulfill the following purposes (the “Identified Purposes”):
 

• Administer contests and surveys;

• Provide you with the services you have requested (for example, online newsletters that you have subscribed to);

• Respond to your inquiries;

• Administer our gift card program;

• Monitor traffic to the Website;

• Research, develop, manage, protect and improve our services;

• Determine the future direction of the Website including any necessary technical upgrades;

• Advise you about new products and services that may be of interest to you;

• Track your Website usage, transaction history and patterns and/or monitor your use of web based digital platforms while on Canada One Brand Name Outlets property (e.g., WiFi hotspots) for the purposes of market research and/or to provide you with tailored messages and advertisements;

• Administer online chats and posts;

• Engage in business transactions (including purchase, sale, lease, merger or other acquisition, disposition or financing);

• Investigate specific transactions or patterns of transactions to detect unauthorized or illegal activities;

• For any other purpose for which you consent; or otherwise as required or authorized by law.

E-Newsletters

Email newsletters are sent out only to users who choose to provide us with their email address. By providing your email address and subscribing to our database you have agreed to receive newsletters from us. Our subscriber’s database is never sold, rented or loaned to any other parties. Subscribers wishing to opt-out from receiving newsletters can do so at any time.

Surveys & Contests

From time-to-time our Website requests personal information from users via surveys or contests sponsored by us or our retailers or marketing partners (for example, health and fitness, personal care, entertainment and recreation, food and beverages, health and beauty aids, pharmaceuticals, credit cards, banking and financing, and charitable organizations). Participation in these surveys or contests is completely voluntary and you therefore have a choice whether or not to disclose this information to a sponsor or marketing partner. Information requested may include contact information (such as name and e-mail addresses), and demographic information (such as postal code, age range, gender and addresses).

We may use this information for the Identified Purposes but we do not rent or sell this information to third parties. For further information regarding the use of this information by us or to opt out, please contact the Canada One Outlets marketing department. The retailer or marketing partner who is sponsoring the survey or contest will use the information submitted for their own marketing purposes and in accordance with their own privacy policies, unless you opt out. To opt out of marketing purposes from individual retailers and/or their affiliates, you will need to consult each of their respective privacy policies to find out how.

When do we share your personal information?

Personal information will not be sold or otherwise transferred to unaffiliated third parties without the individual’s approval except we reserve the right to disclose personal information:
 

• if such disclosure is made pursuant to a legal proceeding or as required or permitted by law;  to service providers (including our affiliates) engaged to assist us in providing services to you or to carry out one or more of the Identified Purposes described above;

• to a third party in the event of a proposed or actual purchase, sale (including a liquidation, realization, foreclosure or repossession), lease, merger, amalgamation or any other type of acquisition, disposal, transfer, conveyance or financing in order for you to continue to receive the same products and services from the third party; or

• at the request of the owners of Canada One Outlets for the Identified Purposes.

To refuse or withdraw your consent, you should contact the Canada One Outlets marketing department as described above.

How long do we keep your personal information?

Your personal information is retained only as long as is necessary to fulfill the Identified Purposes or as may be required to comply with applicable laws.

We or one of our affiliates or an unaffiliated service provider may process and store your personal information outside of the province in which you reside and/or outside of Canada for the Identified Purposes, and under the laws of those other jurisdictions, in certain circumstances courts, law enforcement agencies, regulatory agencies or security authorities in those other provinces or foreign jurisdictions may be entitled to access your personal information.

How do we protect your personal information?

Whether in electronic or paper-based format, we use industry standard technology and efforts to safeguard your personal information from loss, theft and unauthorized access, use or disclosure. These include secure servers and firewalls. Physical access to those areas where information is gathered, processed or stored is restricted to authorized employees who need the information to perform a specific job. Appropriate controls are in place over computer systems and data processing procedures and these controls are reviewed on an ongoing basis to ensure compliance with our security and privacy policies. When we no longer need your personal information, we permanently destroy or erase it.

We require our services providers and other third parties to protect personal information collected by them on our behalf, or disclosed to them by us, and to comply with the general privacy principles described in this Privacy Policy.

We also prohibit them from using your personal information for any purpose other than for the Identified Purposes.
