Third Party Services

From time to time, We may offer certain third party services through the Company’s Websites which We feel will be helpful or relevant to you (collectively, “Third Party Services”).  Third Party Services may include, but are not limited to, banking and financial services, insurance-related services, payment processing services and property management-related services.
 

When you click on a link for a Third-Party Service, your Web browser will be re-directed to the third party provider of the Third Party Service that you selected.  Third party providers may have privacy policies that are different than this Policy, and you should read carefully the privacy policies of those third parties prior to releasing any of your Personal Information to them, financial or otherwise.
 

Third Party Services may also require you to agree to certain terms and conditions of use (collectively, “Third Party Conditions”) before using or accessing those services.   Often, Third Party Conditions describe and govern how third-party providers use your Personal Information, so you should read carefully all Third Party Conditions prior to releasing any of your information to such third party providers. We do not endorse, warrant or guaranty the nature, scope, quantity, availability or quality of any Third Party Services.  Such services are provided as an accommodation to you, and for your convenience only.  If you have any questions, comments or concerns about any Third Party Service, you should contact directly the third party providing that service to you.

Cookies

The Company's Websites may use "cookies", a technology that installs information on a Website user's computer to permit the Website to recognize future visits using that computer. Cookies enhance the convenience and use of the Website. The use of cookie technology is common on the Internet, and many Internet browsers are initially set to accept cookies automatically.  
 

If you would prefer not to accept cookies, you can set your Internet browser to notify you when your computer is receiving a cookie or to refuse cookies automatically. To readjust your Internet browser’s cookie options, please refer to the instruction documentation of your particular browser or seek online assistance.
 

Like many other websites, the Company's Websites may make use of "per session" and "persistent" cookie technology. Per session cookies track information during an open session and are stored only temporarily in your computer’s memory. Persistent cookies are deposited on a visitor's computer until they expire or until the visitor deletes the cookies. Information from these cookies help Us analyze traffic patterns to the Website, including the total number of visitors, the geographical location of the visitor, and the types of Internet browsers (e.g., Google Chrome or Internet Explorer) and operating systems (e.g., Windows or Macintosh) that the Website's visitors use. We use this information to facilitate and enhance your online visits. We do not cross-reference this information with any type of Personal Information that is voluntarily offered through the Website.

Google Analytics

The Company's Websites use Google Analytics to collect information, in an anonymous form, about how visitors use the Website, including the number of visitors to the Website and the pages they have visited. We use such information to compile reports and to help it improve the Website.   

Google AdWords

The Company's Websites may also use third party vendor re-marketing tracking cookies, including the Google AdWords tracking cookie. This means We may show ads to you across the Internet. We do not collect personal information through the use of Google's or any other third party remarketing system. Rather, the third-party vendors will place cookies on web browsers in order to serve ads based on past visits to the Website. This allows Us to continue to market its services to those who have shown interest in Us.
 

Where We Store Your Personal Information

The Personal Information We collect from you may be transferred to, stored at, and processed by recipients located in destinations outside of Canada, including the United States of America.  These countries may have privacy and data protection standards that are different to (and, in some cases, lower than) those in Canada.

Interpretation and Enforcement

The interpretation and enforcement of this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the laws of Canada applicable in Ontario. The sole and exclusive venue for any and all issues, claims or causes of action arising from or related to this Agreement shall be the Courts of Ontario or Canada, sitting in Ottawa.
