We will identify the purposes for which we collect personal information before or when we request the information. We will not use or disclose personal information for any purpose other than the purpose(s) for which it was collected without first obtaining your consent.

When you provide registration, you agree to provide accurate, current and complete information about yourself ["Application Data"] as prompted by any cmi media inc. registration form. cmi media inc. reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to terminate your participation in any offer where you have provided inaccurate, untrue, deceptive and/or incomplete Application Data. cmi media inc. reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to accept or reject any registration for any reason, or for no reason, whatsoever.

Subject to any legal or accounting requirements, we will retain personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected or consent by you has been withdrawn. When personal information is no longer required or consent is withdrawn, it will not longer be used, but copies of deleted information may continue to exist on back-up media.

You acknowledge and agree that your personal information may be transmitted, transferred, processed, and/or stored outside of Canada. We will use reasonable means to ensure that your information is protected, but cannot guarantee that the laws of any foreign jurisdiction will accord the same degree of protection as the laws of Canada. By submitting your personal information to us, you consent to the transmission, transfer, processing and/or storage of your personal information outside of Canada.

We will not sell the rights nor the possession of your data or any personally identifiable information to any outside organization for the duration and extent of our business practice. In some instances, our company may at any time hire an outside party to list manage our data but at no time will they own the data in any way. We may disclose, transfer and sell individual information to an entity which becomes affiliated with our company through formation, merger or acquisition.

In the event cmi media inc. goes through a transition such as being sold, has all or a portion of its assets acquired or transferred, whether voluntary or involuntary (such as through bankruptcy), or merges or becomes affiliated with any other division, individual or entity (including, without limitation, during the course of any due diligence process), any customer information owned or under the control of cmi media inc. will likely be one of the transferred assets. We reserve the right, as part of this type of transaction, to assign or otherwise transfer your information and other information we have collected from users of the Sites. By providing your personal information, you agree that we may transfer such information to the acquiring entity without your further consent. For example, if part of our business was sold we may give our customer list as part of that transaction. Where legally required, we will give you prior notice and if you have the legal right to do so, allow you to object.

We collect information from you directly, automatically when you visit the Sites, and sometimes from third parties. Some of this information may be considered "personal information" under various applicable laws. We consider information that identifies you as a specific, identified individual to be personal information (such as your name, phone number, email address), and we treat additional information, including IP addresses and cookie identifiers, as "personal information" where required by applicable law. And, if we combine information we consider to be non-personal with personal information, we will treat that combined information as personal information under this Privacy Policy. Note that we may de-identify personal information so that it is non-personal, such as by aggregating it or converting it to a code, sometimes using a function commonly known as a "hash". We will treat de-identified information as non-personal to the fullest extent allowed by applicable law.

We may, from time to time, invite you to participate in market research surveys. The types of information that we collect from you may vary based on the objective of the survey or research activity, but may include your email address and social media handle and your responses to survey questions or forms.

You can learn about Google’s practices by going to google.com/policies/privacy/partners, and opt out of them by downloading the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on, available at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

Some of these third party advertising and analytics providers are members of the Network Advertising Initiative ("NAI") or the Digital Advertising Alliance ("DAA") Self-Regulatory Program for Online Behavioral Advertising. You may want to visit http://www.networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_out.asp, which provides information regarding targeted advertising and "opt-out" procedures of NAI members. You may also want to visit http://www.aboutads.info/choices/, which provides information regarding targeted advertising and offers an "opt-out" by participating companies in the DAA Self-Regulatory Program.

For mobile applications, you may be able to limit certain advertising practices using the settings on your phone, tablet, or other mobile device. Also, on most mobile devices, you can install the DAA's AppChoices app to make choices about cross-app interest-based advertisements from participating third parties. You may review additional information on opting out of mobile devices at https://www.networkadvertising.org/mobile-choice/

Please note that opting out through these mechanisms does not opt you out of being served advertising. You will continue to receive generic ads while online.

We may collect specific information about your location from your device. This may include your precise location. We may collect this using different types of technologies, including GPS and Wi-Fi. If you use our mobile app, we may also access your device's location information in the background. You may be able to turn off the collection of location information through your device settings.

If you send a friend a communication through the Sites, the information you provide is used on a one-time basis to facilitate the communication and is not used for any other marketing purpose, unless we obtain consent from that person. If you otherwise disclose any personal information relating to other people to us, you represent that you have the authority to do so and permit us to use the information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

We may receive information about you from third parties, including business partners and data providers. For example, if you are on another website and agree to receive information from cmi media inc., that website will forward your information to us so that we may contact you. We may also supplement the information we collect with outside records from third parties for various purposes, such as to provide you with information, services or products, to tailor our content and the offers we show you, or to enhance our products and services. We may combine the information we receive from third parties with information we collect through the Sites. In those cases, we will apply this Privacy Policy to the combined information. The information collected and stored by the third party is subject solely to the third party's privacy practices.

The Sites may permit or facilitate interactions with an interactive third-party website or service ("Social Media"), such as enabling you to "like" or "share" content. If you choose to share content or otherwise post information from or via the Sites to Social Media, that information may be public and the third party may have access to information about you and your use of our Sites. You may also choose to participate on Social Media in a way that connects that third-party service with our Sites (such as posting to one of our pages on a Social Media site or signing into the Sites with your credentials from another website or service). Doing so may allow us to collect (or the third party to share) information about you. We may also receive information about you if other users of Social Media give us access to their profiles and you are one of their connections or "friends". The information we collect is subject to this Privacy Policy. The information collected and stored by the third party remains subject to the third party's privacy practices, including, without limitation, whether the third party continues to share information with us, the types of information shared, and your choices with regard to what is visible to others on that third-party website or service. The third party may allow you to remove the application or feature, in which case we will no longer collect information about you through the application or feature, but may retain the information previously collected.

To protect both both you and ourselves, we use services provided by a third-party to help decide whether to accept transactions from personal computers, mobile phones, or other devices. The third-party service checks whether these devices have been identified with fraudulent or abusive transactions in the past, such as reported instances of identity theft, account takeovers, or malware attacks. For this purpose, a cookie file, flash storage token, or other code file may be placed on your device to identify it in the future when you visit our website or connect with our applications. On connection with our site or service, we will transmit that device identification code to the third-party's server, along with data concerning certain technical attributes of your device such as the model, operating system, and browser version, as well as the IP address, all of which are used to confirm device identification. The third-party's server responds with a code recommending that transactions be accepted, denied, or reviewed, according to settings we have selected. We also report to the third-party if we conclude that a device has been used in connection with a fraudulent or abusive transaction with us. If you set your browser or device to reject these cookies or tokens, you may not be able to conclude some transactions through our website or application. We share with the third-party referenced above only information about the device you are using, which may also have been used or appropriated by others, and do not identify you or reveal the details of your transaction to that third-party. If your requested transaction is declined, or if you have questions about our use of a "device reputation" service, please contact Customer Service.
