This Privacy Policy describes how your personal information is collected, used, and shared when you visit, register or make a purchase from https://simplicanada.ca (the “Site”).

PERSONAL INFORMATION WE COLLECT

When you visit the Site, we automatically collect certain information about your device, including information about your web browser, IP address, time zone, and some of the cookies that are installed on your device.

We refer to this automatically-collected information as “Device Information.”

Certain visitors to Simpli Canada’s website choose to interact with Simpli Canada in ways that require Simpli Canada to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that the Site gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who comment on our blog to provide a username and email address. Those who wish to receive Simpli Canada’s special offers via email, we collect their emails. In each case, the Site collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with Simpli Canada. Simpli Canada does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.

When you register with our site for a Membership and Community Forum Access or to participate in both virtual and live events, meetings, or conferences, or request Simpli Canada products or services, you are required to provide personal information, which we will use to process your registration or order. In certain circumstances, a program, event, meeting, or conference accessed through the Site may be jointly sponsored or co-sponsored with another organization. If the registration is handled by such other organization, that organization’s (not Simpli Canada) privacy policy will apply and be controlling. Please note that Simpli Canada is not responsible for the privacy policies of other third-party organizations or their collection, use, sharing, or other processing of your personal or other information, and SimpliCanada hereby disclaims any liability or responsibility in connection therewith.

When you make a purchase or attempt to make a purchase through the Site, we collect certain information from you, including your name, billing address, shipping address, payment information (including credit card numbers) email address, and phone number.  We refer to this information as “Order Information.”

Additionally, Simpli Canada discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations that need to know that information in order to process it. Simpli Canada will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations, as described above. Simpli Canada discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental request, or when Simpli Canada believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of Simpli Canada, third parties or the public at large.
