We use software tools to measure and collect session information, including page response times, length of visits to certain pages, page interaction information, and methods used to browse away from the page in order to enhance our online services and rankings. We also may collect personally identifiable information (including name, email, password, communications); payment details (including credit card information), comments, feedback, product reviews, recommendations, and personal profile as they pertain to our use of our website.

 

HOW DO WE GATHER YOUR INFORMATION?

Your personal information will be used for the specific reasons stated above only. We may also collect personal information from you directly or from our business partners such as realtors, lending or mortgage officers, or other contractors and tradespeople who have an interest in partnering with us to deliver the product or service you require. This information could be collected in person, over the telephone, through the mail, or by electronic means.

​

WHY DO WE COLLECT, USE, AND DISCLOSE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?

YOUR CONSENT

We only collect, use, or disclose personal information for the purposes we believe you would consider appropriate under the circumstances. Your knowledge and consent are required for the collection, use, or disclosure of your personal information unless permitted or required by law. Of course, subject to reasonable and lawful limits, you can choose not to provide us with some or all of your personal information. These choices may prevent us from providing the product, service or information that you requested.

 

We believe you would also expect us to contact you to advise you of new and existing services and benefits that may be of interest to you, and ask your opinion about our current performance through customer satisfaction surveys. From time to time, we will inform you of such services or contact you for your opinions via direct marketing. Direct marketing material is usually delivered to you by mail, telephone or electronic means. Unless you contact us to inform us otherwise, we will consider that you have consented to our continued use and disclosure of your information for these purposes. You may choose not to receive these offers or surveys and have your name deleted from lists.

 

We separately request your express consent, or rely on implied consent, in the provision of commercial electronic messages (e-mails, texts and instant messages) to you.

 

THIRD PARTIES

Apart from the purposes outlined above, if you allow us to, your name, address and telephone number may be transmitted to trusted third parties in order to inform you of products and services that are offered and that we believe may be of interest to you. We require each such third party to have a policy in place that complies with the requirements of the applicable privacy and anti-spam legislation in Canada.

 

Except set out in this privacy policy, or as permitted or required by law, we do not sell or disclose any of your personal information to any other organization.

 

HOW DO WE STORE AND PROTECT YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?

Your personal information is stored in secure locations and on secure servers and is retained only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy. When no longer required, we destroy, erase or de-personalize the personal information. Certain legal requirements may necessitate our retaining some or all of the personal information for a specific period of time.

 

We protect your personal information by using industry standard technology and security safeguards appropriate to the sensitivity of the information, including physical, administrative and electronic controls to minimize the risk of unauthorized access to, or use or disclosure of, your personal information. You understand the risk of communicating by email, and that we cannot guarantee the security and confidentiality of e-mail communication. We will not be responsible for messages that are not received or delivered due to technical failure, or for disclosure of confidential information unless caused by intentional misconduct. Your consent can be revoked at any time by advising in writing.

 

Our company is hosted on the Wix.com platform. Wix.com provides us with the online platform that allows us to market our products and services to you. Your data may be stored through Wix.com’s data storage, databases and the general Wix.com applications. They store your data on secure servers behind a firewall. 

 

All direct payment gateways offered by Wix.com and used by our company adhere to the standards set by PCI-DSS as managed by the PCI Security Standards Council, which is a joint effort of brands like Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover.
