This Privacy Statement relates
solely to the online information collection and use practices of our Web
site located at www.ctidirectory.com (this "Web Site"), and not to any
sub domains of this Web Site. We recognize that many visitors and users
of this Web Site are concerned about the information they provide to us,
and how we treat that information. This Privacy Statement, which may be
updated from time to time, has been developed to address those concerns.
Your use of this Web Site indicates to us that you have read and accept
our privacy practices, as outlined in this Privacy Statement. If you
have any questions or concerns regarding this Privacy Statement, please

WHAT INFORMATION ABOUT YOU DO WE COLLECT?
When you visit our Web Site, you may provide us with two types of
information: (1) personally identifiable information that you knowingly
choose to disclose, which is collected on an individual basis, and (2)
general user information that does not contain personally identifiable
information, which is collected on an aggregate basis as you browse the
Web Site. In some cases, if you choose not to provide us with requested
information, you may not be able to access all of our Web Site's content
or services.
Personally Identifiable Information You Choose to Provide.
We may ask
for certain personal information from you for the purpose of providing
to you content and/or services that you request. For example, if you
email us to indicate an interest in receiving press releases about
Canadian Trade Index, you are asked to submit your name, address and
e-mail address, which we retain on file, so that we may send you the
information that you requested. If you indicate in your email that you
are a member of the press, we may also send you information regarding
our business. We may retain a record of users who have contacted us in
order to respond properly to questions or concerns and for purposes of
future communications.
Non-Personally Identifiable Information We Collect.
Cookies/ Web server logs: Similar to other commercial Web sites, our Web Site
utilizes standard technology called "cookies" and Web server logs to
collect information about how our Web Site is used. Cookies are a
feature of Web browser software that allows Web servers to recognize the
computer used to access a Web site. Cookies are small pieces of data
that are stored by a user's Web browser on the user's hard drive.
Information gathered through cookies and Web server logs may include the
date and time of visits, the pages viewed, time spent at our Web Site,
and the Web sites visited just before and just after our Web Site. This
information is collected on an aggregate basis. None of this information
is associated with you as an individual. You can, of course, disable
cookies on your computer by indicating this in the preferences or
options menus in your browser. However, it is possible that some parts
of our Web Site will not operate correctly if you disable cookies. You
should consult with your browser's provider/manufacturer if you have any
questions regarding disabling cookies.
HOW DO WE USE THE INFORMATION WE COLLECT?
We use your personally identifiable information to provide you with the
information or content that you have requested, and, in some cases, to
contact you about our programs, products, features or services. If you
no longer wish to receive press releases or any other type of
information from us, you may send us an email through our Contact E-mail
to change your preferences.
We use non-identifying information collected on our Web Site in the
aggregate to better understand your use of the Web Site and to enhance
your enjoyment and experience. For example, we may use the information
to improve the design and content of our Web Site or to analyze the
programs and services that we offer.
We may employ other companies and individuals to perform functions on
our behalf. Our employees, agents and contractors who have access to
personally identifiable information are required to protect the
information in a manner that is consistent with this Privacy Statement.
We may provide access to your personally identifiable information when
legally required to do so, to cooperate with police investigations or
other legal proceedings, to protect against misuse or unauthorized use
of our Web Site, to limit our legal liability and protect our rights, or
to protect the rights and safety of visitors to this Web Site or the
public. In those instances, the information is provided only for that
limited purpose.
We will not share your personally identifiable information in ways
unrelated to those described above without providing you with an
opportunity to opt out of such use or otherwise prohibit such unrelated
uses.
HOW DO YOU ACCESS AND/OR MODIFY YOUR INFORMATION OR CHOICES?
If you visit our Web Site and volunteer personally identifiable information,
you may modify, update or delete such information at any time by send us an email
through our Contact E-mail. You should be aware, however, that it is not always possible
to completely remove or modify information in our databases. In addition, please be aware
that your ability to opt out from receiving marketing and promotional materials does not change
our right to contact you regarding your use of our Web Site.
PRIVACY PROTECTIONS FOR CHILDREN USING THE INTERNET
Protecting children's privacy is important to us. For that reason, we do not
collect or maintain information on our Web Site from those we actually
know are under the age of 13, nor is any part of our Web Site targeted
to attract anyone under 13. We request that all visitors to our Web Site
who are under 13 not disclose or provide any personally identifiable
information. If we discover that a child under 13 has provided us with
personally identifiable information, we will delete that child's
personally identifiable information from our records.
DATA SECURITY
We take reasonable steps to maintain the security of the personally identifiable
information that we collect, including limiting the number of people who
have physical access to our database servers, as well as installing
electronic security systems that guard against unauthorized access.
However, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be
completely secure. Accordingly, we cannot ensure or warrant the security
of any information that you transmit to us, so you do so at your own
risk.
CONSENT TO TRANSFER
This Web Site is operated in Canada. If you are located outside of Canada, please
be aware that any information you provide to us will be transferred
to Canada. By using our Web Site, participating in any of our services
and/or providing us with your information, you consent to this transfer.

This Web Site contains links to third party sites as well as to other sites
owned and/or operated by Owen Media Partners. Please be aware that Owen
Media Partners is not responsible for the privacy practices of any third
party sites. Please also be aware that the privacy policies of other
Owen Media Partners sites may differ significantly from the privacy
policy of this Web Site. Therefore, we encourage our users to read the
privacy statement of each and every Web site that collects personally
identifiable information. This Privacy Statement applies solely to
information collected by this Web Site. |
