IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH THIS PRIVACY POLICY, PLEASE DO NOT USE OUR SERVICES.

We reserve the right to update this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changes in our privacy practices without prior notice to you. When the Privacy Policy is updated, we will update the date at the top of this page to indicate the date last updated, and the revised version will be effective as of the published effective date and will be posted on each of the websites owned or controlled by us. If we make what we regard to be significant changes to this Privacy Policy, we will provide appropriate notice to you.

Please check this Privacy Policy periodically for changes. Your continued use of our Services following the posting of changes to the Privacy Policy will mean you agree to be bound by such changes. We will also update the Privacy Policy and our privacy practices to comply with federal and provincial privacy legislation as they each may apply.

Your privacy is important to us. Although our ability to provide certain service requires that we collect Personal Information about our users, we take measures to ensure the privacy and confidentiality of that information. We are committed to undertaking reasonable measures to protect the privacy, accuracy, reliability and security of all of the Personal Information that is provided to us and to protect such information from loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration and destruction. Please read the following description of our policies and practices regarding your Personal Information.

Personally identifiable information is information about you that can be attributed to you, and may include but is not limited to, your name, mailing address, e-mail address, phone number, date of birth, payment information, age, and/or gender, and will be referred to as “Personal Information” in this Privacy Policy. We do not collect sensitive Personal Information, such as racial or ethnic origin or health or medical data through our Services.

Our Services have various features and services. Many of these features and services are available to all visitors to our Services. Some features and services may only be available to those that have registered with our Services.

B. Collection, Use and Disclosure Practices

Wherever possible, we will identify the purposes for which Personal Information is collected at or before the time the Personal Information is collected.

We may use Personal Information for the purpose for which it was provided and for certain other activities, which are reasonably ancillary to such purpose. For example, if you send us an e-mail with a question or comment, we will use your e-mail address to respond to you. Further, we may store your e-mail and e-mail address and a copy of our response for future reference. We may request Personal Information from you such as name, home address, telephone number, e-mail address, age, income, interests and gender for purposes such as newsletter, chat room, contest and auction registration, and for participation in other interactive online activities as well as to enable us to market various goods and services to you.

If you have given us your express consent, from time to time we may share your Personal Information with other businesses, marketing partners and advertisers. We will only share such information with these third parties whose policies regarding Personal Information are consistent with our privacy policies and where we have your express consent to do so.

We have engaged agents and certain service providers to assist with our Services and activities (such as fulfillment companies). Further, we may work with other organizations similar to ourselves towards some common purpose consistent with our objectives. For these purposes, we may disclose your Personal Information to these agents, service providers and other organizations. However, we will require that these agents, service providers and other organizations agree that they will only use and disclose your Personal Information solely for those purposes, that they will not be permitted to use it for any other purpose and that they will adhere to the terms of this Privacy Policy.

If you have given us your express consent, we may also use your Personal Information to send you offers from our corporate marketing partners and other business partners. In addition, if you have given us your express consent, from time to time we may share your data with certain of these partners so that they may send you offers directly.

We may analyse Personal Information and other data in order to enhance our events and Services.

From time to time, we may place a “cookie” on your computer. Our third party service providers and ad servers may use cookies as well. A cookie is a file written to your computer’s hard drive that can be used to track your Internet activity. Also, if you submit Personal Information to our Services (such as your name, interests or preferences), we may use cookies to keep track of such information so that you will not need to reenter this information during subsequent visits. We may use cookies to customize delivery of our Services content and advertisements and for other internal site administration purposes. In addition, our ad servers, or those of our third party service providers, may use information about your visits to our Services to customize delivery of advertisements to our Services. You may elect not to have such information used by our ad servers for such purposes by making an e-mail request to that effect directed to privacy@kgre.ca. You may also set your Internet browser preferences to notify you when you receive a cookie or decline acceptance of cookies. However, if you decline acceptance of cookies you may experience less than optimal performance of our Services.

The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website (including your IP address) will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity for website operators and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage.

Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on Google’s behalf. Google will not associate your IP address with any other data held by Google.

In the event we transfer control of any or all of our operations or services, we reserve the right to transfer and disclose your Personal Information to that party. However, we will require that party to agree that it will be similarly bound by the provisions of this Privacy Policy and that it will only use and disclose your Personal Information as we are similarly entitled under this Privacy Policy.

In the event we amalgamate with another organization, we reserve the right to permit that amalgamated organization to continue to use and disclose your Personal Information. However, we will require that the amalgamated organization agree that it will be similarly bound by the provisions of this Privacy Policy and that it will only use and disclose your Personal Information as we are similarly entitled under this Privacy Policy.

Some web browsers may transmit “do not track” signals to the websites and other online services with which the browser communicates. There is no standard that governs what, if anything, websites and online services should do when such signals are received. We do not currently take action in response to these signals. If a standard for responding is established, we will update the Privacy Policy on responding to these signals.

C. Consent for Collection, Use or Disclosure

Your Personal Information may be stored and processed in any country where we have facilities or in which we engage third party service providers. By using our Services, you consent to the transfer of information to countries outside your country of residence, which may have different data protection rules than in your country.
