Collection and Use of Personal Information
Type of information
As part of operating the Websites and Services, we process data as described below, directly by us, or with the services or third-party services. This policy describes the processing operation of your personal information (“Personal Information”).

Such information may include, for example, a first and last name, an email address, phone number, a home or other physical address, and other contact information. In addition, in some jurisdictions (as the EU for example), and given the specific use we make with the information, an IP address, device ID and cookies could be considered as Personal Information as well. In the event we combine Personal Information with Non-Personal Information, the combined information will be treated as Personal Information for as long as it remains combined.

We may store or process your Personal Information in Canada, the United States or in other countries.

We will take the necessary steps to ensure that international transfers of Personal Information meet all requirements under applicable data protection laws.
When personal data collected within the European Economic Area (“EEA”) is transferred outside the EEA, we will take the steps necessary to ensure that the transfer of such data provides sufficient safeguards, and you may exercise your rights, where applicable, to receive information on such transfer mechanisms.
