In this Privacy Policy, “personal information” means any information about an identifiable individual, as further defined under applicable Canadian laws.

Collection and Use of Personal Information

Visscher may collect personal information from a user of the Website (the “Site User”) when the Site User uses Visscher website. Visscher may use such personal information as is reasonably required to process the Site User’s registration for the Website and/or to provide information and other features on the website that may be useful to the Site User.

Contact information that the Site User provides to the Website may be used to contact him or her in connection with the Website. For instance, depending on which services the Site User has subscribed to and which privacy preferences the Site User has indicated to Visscher, Visscher may use the Site User’s contact information to provide notices regarding changes to the Website or regarding new or updates to the services or products.

Visscher may collect and analyze non-personal information to evaluate how visitors use the Website, including non personal information about usage and service operation that is not associated with a specific personal identity. Visscher also automatically receives and records information on Visscher’s server logs, which information may include the Site User’s computer’s IP address and “cookie” information. Visscher uses the Site User’s IP address to help identify the Site User, gather broad demographic information about Visscher’s users, diagnose problems with Visscher’s systems, and administer the Website. A cookie is a small text file that is stored on the Site User’s computer and cannot read data off of the Site User’s computer. The only information a cookie can collect is information supplied by the Site User.

Visscher collects demographic and profile data in connection with the Website and uses such data to tailor each Site User’s experience at the Website and displaying the content according to the Site User’s preferences.

Visscher may use customer information for additional purposes that may be identified at or before the time that the information is collected. Visscher will hold the personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy or as required or permitted by law.

Visscher may share personal information with third-party subcontractors and agents who work on Visscher’s behalf and third party service providers to who provide advice and services in relation to the website or in relation to products or services featured on the website. Such third parties do not have the right to use personal information beyond what is necessary to assist Visscher and they are contractually obliged to maintain confidentiality and security of the personal information and are restricted from using such information in any way not expressly authorized by Visscher.
